I know its been a while but I'm not giving up on this blog! Even with my busy schedule I have still managed to do some crafty projects around the house and have even taken pictures of them.
Last year, I was broke and made all my holiday decorations out of things I had around the house including this wreath of
yarn balls and
plastic bag puffs. It seems wasteful to throw out my decorations from last year so I just did a revamp.
First, I pulled out all the plastic and shiny parts. I decided to stick to a more natural theme this year.
Next I added cinnamon scented pine cones to fill in the holes. I simply tied a piece of string around the pine cone and tied it to the cardboard ring.
Here I'm almost done filling in the gaps.
Then, for a little bit of color, I added a red bow. Here is how I like to finish the ends of my ribbons. Fold the ribbon in half and cut on angle from the fold up to the open corners.
Once I tied my bow, I attached it to the wreath just like the pine cones.
Here it is finished, hanging nicely on our door. The scented pine cones make the house smell like the Holidays!
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
