Easy Peasy Christmas Crafts

As per the post below, today has all been about decorating for Christmas.  Its been a fun but also challenging day, but thats a whole nother blog post!

I just wanted to show you some easy, cheap and chips decorating I have done - so far.

I have had this wreath sitting around for donkeys yonks!  It is a polystyrene wreath which I wrapped thick natural cord around.  Then I hot glued on some green leaves, and faux red carnation flowers - all up maybe $10.  I love it so much it may become a permanent fixture.

Yes the flowers are on one side, not in the middle at the bottom.
I thought if they were on the side then it wouldn't bug me
if it wasn't perfectly centre!  Rather genius I think!

This is a work in progress as a table centrepiece.  If/when it gets finished they will be on a long white, skinny platter with holly or red berries around them.  3 white candles with 3 stripes of green and white washi tape.  All up maybe $4 (excluding the $6 for the tape but you get 10m!)

Simple yet effective
 Have more plans and ideas, but I guess watch this space to see if they eventuate!
