Have A Sweet Christmas!

It's my favorite time of year!  I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season as well!

I have put away all of my DIY tools and all my projects are on hold during the season.  Trust me, it was hard!  Very hard!  I think I started to have some withdrawals.  But the thought of sawdust and power tools amongst the Christmas decorations was a bit much...
even for me.

But of course, I just can not do nothing! 
So, I thought of a inexpensive, easy wreath.  I was inspired by some of the wreaths I have been seeing using candies.  I have seen them made out of candy corn and recently saw one made out of mini candy canes.  Here is my version of the wreath:

Isn't it sweet?!


It was so easy too!  I just took a green styrofoam floral wreath that I found at the Dollar Tree for a...what for it...dollar!  Then I wrapped it with white duct tape.




After that, I just hot glued the starburst candies on the wreath!  Easy, smeasy!  
Then, a ribbon around it to hang it up and viola!  A sweet little wreath!


The wreath was inexpensive to make.  It was $1.00 for the wreath form, $2.50 for the candies and I used a ribbon I already had.  So the final cost was $3.50!   Sweet!
I hope that all you have a wonderful sweet Christmas!

Come join my journey as I share how to make my house into a home.

About Me

Hi! I'm Karen I started this journey a year ago. After having a "honey do" list that seemed unsurmountable for the hubster, I had an epiphany. Do It Yourself! Ahh...the very definition of DIY. So now, I spend my days as a Kindergarten Teacher and my nights as a DIYer. I scour the internet for inspiration, direction and motivation. I have learned that power tools make me feel POWERFUL! I am glad to share my journey with you as I transform my house into a home.
