Christmas Crafts: Fun Friday #19

I got bit by the crafting bug again! Cold weather and the proximity of Christmas seems to spark my creative fuse. Here's a tally of what I've been up to so far. Maybe you'll get some ideas for your own home! Most were simple and inexpensive.

Canning Jar Candles:  Cost: $1 for the pack of floating candles from Dollarama; I picked the greenery and berries from outside and already had the twine to tie around the jars.
Got the idea from here:


Dress Up Your Chairs: Cost: $1.50 for the ribbon
Got the idea from here and here:


And put it all together for a festive dinner party!


I got together with Amanda and Esther on Saturday evening to craft! Amanda worked on forming "NOEL" out of wooden letters, Esther worked on making a tree from a cone and yarn, and I started making a wreath from tree ornaments.

 

Tree Ornament Wreath: Cost: $20 for ornaments; $1 for ribbon from Dollarama
Got the idea from here and here:



Centerpiece: Cost: $4 for the ornaments from Dollarama
Got the idea from here:
