Decking the Halls
Not with boughs of holly, but with evergreen boughs, pine cones and branches.
I made a double-wired wreath out of wire clothes hangers, then wired the pine boughs to it for this wreath. I added a few small pine cones and the ribbon, and it was done.
Lucy and I made this mitten advent calendar garland this week. The worst part was turning the mittens outside-in after sewing them, and Lucy stayed the course, doing most of them herself. I ironed-on numbers, cut slits in the back for the yarn to string them, then filled them with candy after hanging it. I'm glad I don't make mittens for a living though. Tedious work.
A pine garland for the kitchen windows. For this, I just used leftover boughs from our tree, wiring together small bunches with florists' wire. I wired on a few pine cones, added lights and bows for a very inexpensive decoration.
It's amazing what a little greenery and lights can do to make it feel more Christmas-y.
