DIY #1- JOY wreath
Items:
-Wooden "J" and "Y"
-Red Bow
-Wreath
-Christmas ribbon
-Christmas paper (optional)
I found all these items on Thanksgiving because Michaels was having a sale on Christmas décor. The paper is optional because you can have white letters, but I saw this cute sparkily Christmas paper and thought it would sooo cute on the letters.
For the letters I traced the shape of them on the paper, cut the letters out, and modge podge the paper on.
I wrapped ribbon around the wreath and secured it on with the red bow (it has a little twisty tie on the back).
Ta-da!
Cute place to hang it up would be above your mantle or on the wall.
DIY #2 Little tree
Okay, my mom always wanted to put a tree above our door cause we have like a window seal above it. It's 2" wide so we had to find a small tree. But all the pencil trees were around $40 dollars. Nuh uh, let's get creative!
Items:
-Tomato cage
-Wreaths
-Lights
-Mini ornaments
-Christmas ribbon (optional)
-Wrapping paper (optional)
-Box (optional)
The reason the Christmas ribbon, wrapping paper, box is optional is because the tomato cage isn't tall enough. (You'll see why later)
Wrap the garland around your tomato cage. I had to use 5, 9' garlands to cover it. (I got the garlands at Michaels also)
Put your mini ornaments on and lights. I added a cute sparkily star.
For the box I wrapped it up like a present so the box would look nice instead of just a card-board box.
The wrapping paper is so pretty!
Putting up the tree and box. It was a two "man" job. See why I needed the box. Sadly the box wasn't quite tall enough so we put some of my dad's old college books underneath it, hehehe.
(Go Beavs!)
(This is at night) So that's what it looks like. I added some extra presents so it looked better. If you look at it from the outside you don't see the ornaments, but you can definitely see the lights.
