Super Easy Christmas Mantelpiece Garland
One of the things I’m really grateful for in our house is the beautiful fireplace. Every year at Christmas I like to decorate the fireplace with a garland. I usually use fresh foliage, but this always ends up crispy and dry after about a day and a half as we use our fire. This year, inspired by my faux foliage wreath making workshop at OKA, I decided to create a Christmas mantelpiece garland using faux foliage, dried flowers and pampas grass. It won’t dry out, and I’ll be able to reuse it year after year!
Plastic-Free Christmas Wreath Tutorial
Another week, another wreath! This weekend we started to decorate the house for Christmas. I say we – Mr R helped me move the bookcase then went out to buy a part for the car, and Holly helped put the baubles on the tree the decided to do some crafts. With glitter. Eugh. I put the tree up, made a mantelpiece garland, a staircase garland and two door wreaths. Here’s my (pretty basic) plastic-free Christmas Wreath Tutorial – it’s so easy to make!
