Great Last Minute Christmas Decorations





































To make, pour Epsom salts onto a flat surface. Sprinkle in glitter, then mix. Apply a layer of decoupage adhesive to the candle sides using a paintbrush or foam brush. Keep glue away from the top and top edge of the candle so salts and glitter stay clear of the flame. While wet, lay the candle in the mix of salts and glitter. Lift, rotate, and set the candle back in the faux snow until all sides are covered. When dry, arrange as a centerpiece on a tray covered in fake flakes.

This craft is so easy and looks amazing!! To achieve the pinecone flower shapes, cut straight through a pinecone with pruners. (One pinecone yields multiple blooms.) Paint the petals white using acrylic paint. When dry, write guests' names on leave cut from green cardstock, and slide the leaves between the petals. Place a pinecone flower on the rim of a glass at each place setting.

Using Christmas cards you receive makes this craft cost efficient and easy. If you can't find mini red clothes pins, you should spray paint them red in a well ventilated area first. Then position tension rod in window. Cut ribbon lengths 1 1/2 times as long as distance from rod to windowsill. Loop ribbon over the rod and secure about 1 to 2 inches down the back side of ribbon, you can you a hot glue gun. Add rickrack and thin ribbon in between ribbons with cards on them. Now all you have to do is clip on your Christmas cards!

Coastal Living



























Use an antique jar and fill with water, some greenery, and cranberries. All you need now is a lit floating candle. This DIY looks great as small centre pieces of a Christmas dining table.

I love this easy amazing decoration! Spray-paint a bare branch white. When dry, make it a perch for clip-on songbirds (available at crafts stores). Place removable adhesive hooks on the ceiling, then hang the branch above your table using two ropes. Tie hanging tea-lights or votive holders from the branch using fishing line.
