candy cane candle holders

I totally love these.I wish I could keep them up year round.Each one cost $2. I got 2 candle holders at walmart and just hot glued them on. Then I put a cute little ribbon on(also from walmart,I live in walmart country!) and made a cute little centerpiece for less than $5! I found the cone for the ribbon tree at a thrift store for .55,used ribbon I already had, and I made the runner from scraps. I made my own little star for the tree but I found this candy cane one at hobby lobby and had to have it(50% off too).

First project for my blog

I did one of those ribbon trees I see everywhere and I think it turned out pretty well. Not a fan of the thing on top but I ran out of ribbon an inch from the top. That's usually how it goes with me...

I also made a christmas countdown calendar,but only for 10 days. I remember when I was a kid the countdown was unbearable! So I made it that way for the sake of my impatient 3yr old. It has some cute little things to do to get ready for the big day!

I'm totally dreaming of a cricut or silhouette for christmas.... I'm still working on some centerpiece ideas and maybe something for the ceiling fan.
