With just a few dollars worth of supplies, you can make a fun christmas bulb wreath. I bought the wicker wreath frame, and all the bulbs at the dollar store. I had some black felt that I wrapped around the wreath so I could glue on the bulbs more easily, and then used my glue gun and went crazy adding bulbs.
Here's how it turned out! Not too bad, but after having done it once, I would have changed a few things, like making the bulbs look more uniform instead of crazy all over the place.
I also wanted to make my small christmas tree in my family room look a little more fancy this year and update the ornaments. So, I grabbed some black card stock, modge podge and black glitter at the store and created these fun fluer di lis and eiffel tower ornaments. I also bought fun silver bulbs and a silver garland to add to it. With the new black and silver theme, I needed to change some of my other decor for that room.
I made these fun little christmas trees out of scrapbook paper. It cost me all of $2.50 to make. I bought some cheap candle stick holders at the local thrift store to sit them on so they wouldn't all be the same height. They were only $0.50 each.
Then I decided I wanted some fun artwork. I bought a 16 x 20 frame at the local thrift store for $2.00 and painted it black, and created a fun picture. I then backed it with scrapbook paper that matched the little trees that I made. Added a garland and some bulbs, and here is the finished product.
As for the big Christmas tree . . . here it is. I've changed it up just a little this year. I'm not quite finished with the front room decor in this room. More pictures to come. I'm working on building a little sofa table to put my christmas village on, and those fun little spiral trees you see on the left hand corner of the picture.
Happy Christmas Crafting
