$1 Green Wreath

After trimming up our outdoor landscaping for the winter, 

I decided to let a few of my trimmings take center stage for just a bit longer.

I picked up the wire wreath shape from my local dollar store for just one dollar and grabbed a roll of fishing line (that I had on hand) to attach the pieces to my wreath form.

Tie the pieces on one by one and then fill in the spots by slipping in a few smaller pieces until you

get "the look" you are trying to achieve. My goal was to just cover up any and all portions of the wire wreath form.

 Hang and enjoy! This one lasted about a two weeks before the leaves turned brown. It took less than 10 minutes to pull it together so if you're looking for a quick project to wow your company, keep a  wire wreath form on hand. You can fill it with anything for a fun simple creative project!

DIY Silver Tinsel Wreaths

I'll be playing "catch up" for a bit since my computer was down 

over the holidays and I was unable to post my holiday crafty ideas...

Here are two simple and easy silver wreaths I made for our guest room. 

They hang just above each headboard and add some beautiful 

silver holiday pizzaz to the room.

I used two silver tinsel garlands ($1 each) one on each circular form. 

The cardboard circles I upcycled instead of recycling them. They were

in between the lids of the large glass jars I purchased from WalMart 

earlier this year. A bit of hot glue to start and then a few times wrapping

the garland around till I got to the end of the garland. I pulled the silver

out of the way to place more hot glue onto my cardboard then attached

the end of the garland, tied a bit of bakers twine, then hung above

the beds.

Another simple and inexpensive way to add a bit of 

festive to your home during the holiday season!
