Repurposing Christmas

Since funds are a bit tight this Christmas, but I have lofty ideas and dreams of a Christmas decor make over, I have found myself repurposing some of the things that I have had for several years. Here are my first two projects.

A CHRISTMAS WREATH

SUPPLIES:

Wreath form from real wreath 2 years ago

Well used Christmas tree garland

glittered poinsettias in red and green

green ribbon left over from Christmas sign project

DIRECTIONS:

1. Attach poinsettias to their form using the wired stems

(5 groups of red/green combo)

2. Wrap the Christmas tree garland around the form until desired fullness is obtained.

4. Finish off with a large bow created from a remnant piece of ribbon. I attached the bow with a twist tie.

VOILA! Repurposed wreath complete. Hang and enjoy.

Doesn't it frame the roly poly's face perfectly?

JAR DECORATION

I keep this jar decoration on the back splash of my counter; it breaks the kitchen from the den. 

SUPPLIES:

Glass jar (originally purchased for sister-in-laws baby shower)

red rocks (from last years Valentines)

Snowflake ribbon (off a package a few years back. It's been floating around)

Floating candles from Big Lots

Tray from Target clearance

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill jar with red rocks and replace lid

2. Wrap the ribbon around the lid of the jar and tie a bow

3. Place on tray and set up candles as desired

SO SIMPLE!!! 

Okay, so that is it for now. I am sure that I will be repurposing some other stuff soon.
