Better Homes & Gardens Hacks

I thought the Dec consequence of BH&G was fantastic.  As I flipped through the pages, 
I spied several ideas that would last slowly to duplicate.  


This is what my periodical has looked similar for the yesteryear few weeks (torn scraps of newspaper marker pages...the master copy version of Pinterest!):

I've worked through the projects I bookmarked 1 yesteryear 1 in addition to here's what I came upwards with.  

I loved the wreaths hanging over the pictures inward this photo.  I hung mine over my quondam window that was previously on my fall mantel.

The trees inward the urns caught my oculus inward this photo, along amongst the telephone of greenish apples to a greater extent than or less the base.  I spray painted an quondam urn dark in addition to used imitation pomegranates to a greater extent than or less the base.

This snowy bird's nest was adorable.  I pulled everything out of my arts and crafts drawer, assembled the bowl, in addition to cutting a few sprigs off of my neighbor's holly bush.  Done.

The pino cones strung amongst a beautiful ribbon on the chairs (but how gorgeous is this whole setting?)  I dusted some pino cones amongst white spray pigment (actually, I intend it was but primer!  All I could discovery at the moment...), hot glued the terminate of the ribbon to the bottom of the cone, in addition to  used a fiddling while of floral wire to secure the knot to the chair.

One to a greater extent than projection I desire to practise but haven't yet-this dyad cuts a while off the terminate of their Christmas tree each twelvemonth in addition to makes an ornamentation to commemorate the year.  Such a sentimental keepsake!  We don't practise a existent tree, but I accept some aspen logs that I desire to while upwards in addition to brand personalized ornaments out of them.

I already had everything for all of these projects, some other argue they were appealing to me in addition to I knew they would last unproblematic (and free!) to accomplish.  Look all to a greater extent than or less for inspiration.  You don't accept to practise things just similar you lot encounter them inward a periodical or photograph, but role what you lot have, set your ain spin on it, in addition to teach your creative juices flowing!
