Simple Paper Cubes For Christmas Lights . . .

Saw this on Pinterest. I think the image says it all! How fun!

Simple, Fascinating Doily Wreath . . .

Truly beautiful, here is a step by step!

Step 1

Working on a covered surface, lay a 24-inch wreath form inside a 30-inch one. Attach them with 24-gauge wire at 6 to 8 evenly spaced points.

Step 2

In a ventilated area, coat combined wreath form with white spray paint. Let dry

Step 3

Wrap wreath form with a 20-foot strand of white holiday lights (test lights beforehand), leaving the plug end unwrapped (as much as is needed to plug in).

Step 4

With scissors, widen the center-hole slits slightly in paper bouquet holders (we used 10 8.8-inch ones, 20 6.4-inch ones, 20 4.8-inch ones, and 50 3.2-inch ones). Poke a finger through center hole of each bouquet holder (from front to back) to create openings large enough to accommodate a lightbulb.

Step 5

Beginning with largest ones, place bouquet holders evenly around wreath, slipping a light through each hole so that bulb bases, not bulbs, rest against paper. (From time to time, hang wreath, and step back to ensure that the arrangement is balanced and attractive.)

Step 6

Add remaining bouquet holders in descending size order. Use smallest bouquet holders to cover centers of larger ones and to fill in any gaps. Hang near an outlet. Unplug when unattended.

Simple, Holiday Lighted Art . . .

Saw this and thought, "How fun!" Buy a canvas, or even a foam board or other white board (I thought it would really look nice if you stretched burlap over a couple frames and arranged them on the wall.) and poke some Christmas lights through! Can be made in any price range, and adds warm light to the room!

Simple, Found-In-The-Yard Window Trimmings . . .

Saw this and thought, "How easy." We just had some wintery weather roll through and now my yard is littered with pine cones. Granted I'll have to fight the squirrels for them, I figured this would make quick work of accomplishing three things:

1:

Decorating for Christmas

2:

Cleaning the yard

3:

. . . and getting rid of the pine-cone-eating squirrels . . .
