DIY Crafts

this post is an oldie but goodie from last year

Over the weekend, I realized that I needed to change out my front door wreath. But, that is not what this post is about. This post is about the idea that came to me after looking at all the leftover scraps and cuttings from making the wreath:

Add this to the pile of leftover glittery leaves, vines and such I had from making my tree-topper a few weeks ago, and I knew I wanted to do something other than store them until next year.

And, I just knew I wanted to make some festive chair decor for my dining room chairs. These were so, so easy, and hardly justify a tutorial. Basically, I collected my scraps and hot glued pieces together until I got a look that I wanted. All six are different, and used leftover twigs, branches, glittery bits, pinecones and even a bird in a nest.

Here is one completed...

And here are all six. The entire process took about 20 minutes, tops.

Then, I choose a red gingham ribbon from my (large, ever-growing, much-loved) ribbon stash. And tied each to my chairs with a simple square knot. I love how these turned out, and I especially love the fact that they cost me practically nothing.
