My goal was to switch up the decorations while spending the least amount of moolah possible. I think in all this year I spent less than $20. Hey ohhhh!
2 books = $2
2 foam wreaths = $2
scalloped scissors = $3
brown ribbon = $4
hot glue sticks = $4
brown paint = $1
The rest of the "stuff" I had around the house.
I am all about the garland this year. Tara, over at the Scoutie Girl blog, really got my head spinning with this tutorial. (for the record, I made the bakers twine and craft paper garland too. for the bedroom. sheesh. ending anything in "for the bedroom" makes it sound scandalous. oowee.) I took that tutorial and just used book pages and hemp twine to keep in the "paper" theme that the wreaths started. Even with the ornaments and the garland the tree was still lacking, so I made little paper "puffs" (for lack of a better term.) using the same technique as the wreaths. I would of made more, but I ran out of book pages. And patience.
that's gorgeous. Now I go to steal this idea! What a crafty little lady you are!
