Silver glitter plant

This DIY project was a hard one to accomplish but I think it turned out pretty well. I first found the silver pot that I have this in around my house and I thought was a perfect idea to get a fake plant and spray it silver to match the pot and that would be a good Christmas decoration. I went out and bought a fake plant and some silver glitter spray paint. That was a hard thing to track down but I was determined to find it. After spraying it with the silver glitter I then sprayed it with hairspray because if you are using glitter and it keeps shedding than hairspray will keep it on. I spray it often just to keep all the glitter on.

Tinsel Wreath

This wreath is one that I actually made so this one takes a little more time than all the other projects. I took wire and formed it into a circle and then did the same thing and made a bigger circle around it and did that again. I got the color tinsel I wanted to use and wrapped it around the wire multiple times. It took a lot of tries to get this wreath looking this good. You need a lot of tinsel and than I bought those colored lights at Five below because I thought they would be cuter than the different colored lights that people usually use.

Candle holder with tinsel

This is a cute and easy way to dress up your kitchen or where ever you would want to put this with Christmas decorations. I got this candle holder from Pier 1 Imports and I used this same candle holder for another blog post I did back in October with pumpkin fillers inside for Thanksgiving. I just took those out and took this white candle with glitter on it and put it there and I took tinsel and put it down inside the stem and halfway around the candle. It's a simple and cheap way to make a normal candle holder into Christmas decorations!

Wine glass tea light holder

 This is a cute easy way to make a tea light candle holder. The first thing you need to do is get a wine glass that you are not worried about getting ruined. The second is you get spray on glitter and some fake snow which if you followed my last blog post you should still have some left! All you have to do is use spray fake snow and while that was wet I put glitter on. You don't have to use a tea light because in this picture that is a small size candle but which ever you prefer.

Wine glass candle holder (Christmas decor)

This is a cute and easy way to make decoration for Christmas time! You just take a wine glass and flip it upside down and take a candle(of your color choice) and put it on top. But before you do all of that you need to get little snowman figurines or any of your choice and some fake snow to put inside the wine glass to make it look like a snow globe. You can add the bells and ribbon if you like, I just thought it was a cute touch!

LED lights in lantern

This was a hard thing to get a picture of but this is a lantern that has LED battery operated lights inside of it. I don't like using candles inside of lanterns because of fire hazard and I also don't like using the LED tea light candles inside either because than you always have to turn them on. Pier 1 Imports sells a 5 ft strand of white lights that has a battery pack on them. I also got this lantern from Pier 1 Imports. I strung the lights up through the bottom where the tea light is supposed to go. I left the battery pack right behind the lantern hidden so all I have to do is hit the button on the battery pack to turn them on. It is a quick decoration for a coffee table or a bathroom. Especially if you have the beach theme going on because I do in my bathroom and bedroom and I have had this in my bathroom for awhile and now it is a decoration on my dresser in my bedroom.

Gem vase floral displays

Have too many vases and floral sets that you don't know what to do with but want cute Fall decorations? Well this is the best way to take care of those problems. You can go to the dollar store and buy some gems (preferably brown or red like the ones shown here because they are Fall colors). Your next step is to put the floral display in the vase before you put the gems in because than the gems can go around the bottoms of the floral display that way all you see if the gems and the top of the floral display. This is a cute way to dress up a side coffee table with Fall decor!
