The holidays are coming up. That means snow, holiday music, and of course decorating. If you’ve been following Make Something Mondays for a while, you know that I am not a huge fan of holiday decorating. But, there is one piece of advice that I’ve been given over the years that has really helped my blog. “If you can’t beat them, join them.” I don’t like decorating, but I like crafting. So, if I use the holidays to inspire my crafts, then I seem to enjoy them more. And my audience seems to enjoy them. That makes me happy. So, here we go!
Thing You Will Need:
Candle
Glitter*
Pinecones*
Clear bowl
White sand
Pine needles
Colorful ornament balls
*optional (not pictured)
Step 1:
Pour the white sand into the bowl. If you chose to use glitter you can pour that in now as well. Shake it up or stir in the glitter.
Step 2:
Start adding in your decorative elements. I added the ornament balls first, then some cinnamon-scented pinecones, then pine needles.
I added a second layer of silver glitter over the holiday decorations for more of a winter effect.
Check that out! $8 and 10 mins later and you have a lovely winter-inspired holiday centerpiece. This craft would’ve costed $6 if I wouldn’t have used the pinecones that I bought for my DIY Fall-Inspired Wreath. If you live in an area like I do, the pine trees are prevalent, so you will be able to find what you need out in nature. Take advantage of that!
