3 Fall Decorations Using Faux Flowers

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing 3 fall decorations using faux flowers that are pretty easy to bring together and great for any small table in your home.

I’ll be using many of the supplies that I normally love to use when making simple arrangements so if you have things like twine, a collection of inexpensive faux flowers, recycled bottles and mason jars along with a few extra decorative items you can create your own beautiful fall decor too.

And bonus for anyone that doesn’t love using hot glue (like me) you don’t even need a glue gun to complete these simple DIYs!

I hope you enjoy these fall decorations and leave inspired to go make something of your own! Not because you need fall decor or anything, it’s just so much fun to craft 😉

3 Fall Decorations Using Faux Flowers

There’s something about brown bottles that just make me so happy for fall.

Here I’m using a recycled soap bottle, twine, white flower accents, yellow faux flowers and sticky dots.

I started by removing the label off of my bottle under warm soapy water. Thankfully, it peeled right off which was a small miracle because usually it takes some muscle to rub labels off of bottles for me!

Anyway, after my bottle was clean and ready to use I wrapped a super long strand of twine around my bottle and used a few small pieces of sticky dots to hold the twine in place. I find these dots to be really useful for things like this but if you’d rather use something like a hot glue gun that would be great too.

I found these adorable little white silk flowers at Walmart a couple of months ago. If you look closely they have a tiny pearl right at the center. So cute, and girly!

I used 3 of these flowers to add to my bottle, again using the same sticky dots.

As for the main star of the show here, the faux flowers…

I’m using two delicate stems of small yellow flowers which were part of a larger bunch of flowers that I picked up a few months ago at my local dollar store.

I love this simple and slightly messy look with the flowers that kind of resembles what we see out in nature where flowers rarely ever look perfect.

This second piece starts off with another recycled item…

A recycled can for my container, paint from Walmart, a few Dollar Tree flowers, Dollar Tree ribbon, twine, and a cute little pumpkin sticker. I’m also using sticky dots to hold my ribbons and sticker in place.

I started by painting my can with crafting paint from Walmart in the color territorial beige (what a pretty color!)

Then I wrapped my plaid ribbon around the can holding it in place with my sticky dots. After that I created a really simple shoe lace bow using 4 strands of twine, as you can see below. Lastly I cut out one of my pumpkin stickers and then attached everything to the ribbon using sticky dots.

FYI: the sticky dots are very large for what I’m doing here so I just cut them down very small as I went and that worked pretty good for me.

As mentioned, all of my flowers here are from the Dollar Tree. The small stem of hydrangea was from a few years ago but I purchased the other two about a month ago.

And here is the finished piece. This one is great for a kitchen counter or anywhere in the kitchen that has a little room for some decorative items.

This last arrangement is made up of colors that are not necessarily your classic fall colors but I really liked how everything paired with the beautiful stems of wheat that I have right down the center so I figured why not.

So I started with a mason jar for my arrangement. I really wanted to use something that wasn’t transparent but I didn’t have anything that would have worked so I ended up filling it with brown crafting paper.

As for my flowers, I’m using stems of wheat from the Dollar Tree, and a mix of white and light pink flowers that I’ve had for a few years now. Possibly from a dollar store or Michaels Craft Store.

Then I’m using beige mini sunflowers from the Dollar Tree and smaller yellow flowers from Michaels.

To make this arrangement I used all of the wheat stems first in the mason jar then I started placing my white and pink flowers all around the rim of the jar, keeping the wheat in the center.

After that, I added the mini sunflowers and lastly the small yellow flowers all down the middle with the wheat.

Once all of my flowers were in the mason jar I looked around the entire arrangement to make sure everything looked ok from all angles and moved around any flowers that needed to be adjusted.

That’s it for these 3 fall decorations using faux flowers. Thanks for stopping by!

3 Seashell Table Decorations – Perfect for Countertops and Small Tables

I know we only have about one month left of summer, but as always, I’m still trying to enjoy what is left of the season.

I always have a hard time transitioning from one season to another. I love taking in all the beauty that every season has to offer, and as for my crafts and decorations…. Well, after putting some time and effort into them, I never really want to put them away too soon. So frustrating!

Can any fellow craft lovers relate to that feeling? Never wanting to take your work apart or store it away when it’s time to move on to making new decorations for the next season.

Well, if you are like me and still want to see more summer decor ideas, then these simple seashell decorations may be perfect for you. They are super easy to put together, and you can probably still find many of the supplies that I’ll be using (or similar items) at any craft or dollar store. You may even get lucky and find items on clearance, since it is almost the end of summer, you know 😉

So let’s get to it and have some last-minute summer decor fun before those gorgeous fall pumpkins start rolling in.

3 Seashell Table Decorations – Perfect for Countertops and Small Tables

All three of these seashell table decorations came together with seashells that I found at my local dollar store. I purchased them a couple of months ago, and I believe I used a total of two small bags for everything.

For this first seashell table decoration, I’m using a few small pieces of faux leaves that I cut off of flowers I had in my floral stash, along with white and brown seashells and light blue beads.

Then for my container I’m using a cylinder vase that I found at Walmart a few years ago, along with a white candle.

My candle was a bit short for my vase so I used a floral styrofoam to raise it up as you can see here, but if you are using a candle tall enough to fit your vase you can skip this step.

Once I had my candle and vase ready, I used an old piece of fabric that I had on hand and added it to the bottom of my vase to cover the styrofoam and give the look of sand. You can use burlap here as well, or if you have some sand of course that would be perfect here!

Then I added my leaves, seashells, and beads to the top of the fabric, and this one is done.

(Friendly disclaimer: this is only for decorating purposes. Please don’t light a candle with fabric, faux greenery, or any other flammable decorative item)

So summery!

This next seashell table decoration consists of the same white and brown seashells that I picked up at my local dollar store along with a few short strands of iridescent beads that I had in my crafting stash.

I’ll be using a small recycled olive jar here that I filled almost completely with my seashells, then topped them off with those iridescent strands of beads.

What I really love about this seashell jar is the extra large, almost silly but adorable bow that I placed on top. Tehe…

To make this bow, I used sisal twine, which is a very strong and stiffer twine compared to regular twine. I found mine at my local dollar store, but I’ve seen it on Amazon, and I’m guessing you can probably also find it in hardware stores.

I made a rustic layered bow and then hot-glued it onto the top of my jar along with a few beads and one seashell.

A perfect summer decoration for any countertop or end table!

For this seashell table decoration, I’m using another recycled jar and filling it with a layer of small rocks, a second layer of blue gems, and a top layer of flat clear marbles.

Super simple!

All of my rocks and gems came from my local dollar store, and I used a little less than one bag for each layer.

Some sisal twine gets wrapped around my jar a few times and hot-glued around the back to hold in place. After that, I made a large bow with the same twine, hot-glued that onto the bottle, and then hot-glued on some seashells and beads to the center of my bow.

Keep in mind this type of twine can be very messy to work with, so it’s good to work over something to catch the mess like I did here with pink tissue paper.

Easy peasy and we’re done.

I hope you enjoyed these seashell summer decorations. Thanks for stopping by!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Faux Sunflower and Turquoise Summer Arrangement

I find sunflowers to be so perfect for decorating almost any time of the year. They are especially beautiful for the fall, but for this centerpiece, I will be using sunflowers along with white flowers to put together a summer arrangement that is simply an eye-catcher with its bright yellow color.

What flowers do you like to decorate with for the summer?

Do you like beach-themed decor, nautical decor, tropical?

There’s so many beautiful options for the summer! There are sunflowers, wildflowers, vibrant colors, lemons, watermelons. The options can go on and on.

Well, no matter what you like for summer decor, I hope this sunflower arrangement is a favorite for you!

Faux Sunflower and Turquoise Summer Arrangement

I’m starting with a few sunflowers, some green leaves and a few white faux flowers.

For my container, I will be using a turquoise glass from the Dollar Tree along with a bunch of marbles.

The marbles will help keep my flowers in place as well as act as a pretty vase filler.

Once filling my cup with the marble, I add a large sunflower, slightly off to the side.

Those leaves you see above will be going in next.

One large leaf off to the right and a couple of stems with smaller leaves off to the left. (FYI, these stems are just random stems that I took from other flowers in my faux flower stash)

Then I’m grabbing a couple of white flowers from IKEA (possibly named alliums but don’t quote me on that) and placing them to the “back” of my arrangement.

Now I have a few more flowers to work with…

A small sunflower goes around the back along with my white flowers…

A medium sized sunflower off to one side…

And those smaller white flowers go off to the other side.

I wanted these flowers to kind of cascade down the side so before placing them in, I made sure to bend the stem enough to get that effect.

Here is where I stopped and took some time to look at my arrangement, see if it needed more flowers and decide where I would be placing my arrangement.

Where I would be placing my arrangement was important because at this point it was pretty much done as long as I would be putting it somewhere that the back was not very noticeable. But if I was putting it somewhere that I could see the entire arrangement, I would want to add more flowers around the back.

That’s exactly what I ended up doing.

I added a couple more small sunflowers and another bunch of small white flowers all around the back and I slightly moved everything around a bit wherever I felt it needed some extra love 🙂

And that’s it for this arrangement!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

DIY Blue and Pink Wreath – Spring to Summer

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a spring wreath that can easily transition into the upcoming summer days.

I’m kind of at that time of year where I’m still enjoying spring, but I’m starting to also think about summer and all the pretty things that come with that warm, super sunny season.

Are you still working on spring decorations? Have you moved on to summer yet? Well, either way I hope this spring to summer wreath inspires you and gets those creative wheels rolling in your head as you come up with your own spring (and/or) summer decor projects!

Let’s get to it!

DIY Blue and Pink Wreath – Spring to Summer

The main supplies that I will be using for my wreath are:

A styrofoam wreath base

Blue tulle that I’ve had for years

Burlap ribbon from the Dollar Tree

An old kitchen towel

Pink faux flowers that I pulled off of a garland I picked up at my local dollar store

Greenery that I’ve also had forever

I started by cutting my kitchen towel into three long pieces.

Once I cut my fabric, I started wrapping each piece around my styrofoam wreath frame and hot glued the fabric onto the frame as I went.

Now I’m taking my blue tulle and burlap ribbon to make a simple bow.

First I cut a long strand of the tulle and then a couple of strands of the burlap.

(By this point I stopped working on my wreath and started up again later that evening, hence why the background is different for the next two photos 🙂

For my bow, I layered the tulle and longest piece of burlap together and secured them with a small piece of pipe cleaner.

Then I wrapped the shortest piece of burlap around the pipe cleaner and secured it in place. I used sticky dots to keep it in place but you can also use hot glue for this.

Now I’m taking a wire cutter to cut my bunch of greenery into smaller pieces.

So it may look like everything is hot glued in place in the next photo but nothing is actually glued on yet.

I wanted to get a good idea where to put my flowers and bow so I mapped everything out first, placing my greenery, bow and pink flowers on the base and moving them around to get them to look how I wanted before actually gluing them on.

Once I knew where I wanted my bow and flowers, I took a picture with my phone and used that as my guide once I took everything off to start hot gluing.

I started by hot gluing the greenery first, then I hot glued on my bow over the greenery and lastly I hot glued all the pink flowers.

To hang my wreath I took a long piece of my blue tulle, tied it on either side of the top of the wreath…

And this wreath is done!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Spring Crafts and Home Decor Ideas

I can use flowers all year round to decorate my home but what better time than spring to truly enjoy beautiful floral decorations all around the house!

Hello friends. Today I’m sharing all of my spring home decor with you along with a few really simple crafts. Most of these pieces can easily be recreated with items you probably already have at home or a trip to your local dollar store, which is where I usually find a lot of my items.

Hope you enjoy these spring decorations!

Spring Crafts and Home Decor Ideas

For my small kitchen table I’m using faux white tulips and blue hyacinths in a long cylinder vase filled with pink grass/basket filling.

This centerpiece honestly came together very quickly and easily. After filling my vase with the pink filling I went ahead and evenly distributed my flowers all through out the vase leaving a few of my tulips wide opened, just because I love the way they look stretched open.

Here I have a mix of pink, yellow and purple faux flowers…

that come together and create another beautiful spring centerpiece.

This is another arrangement that came together fairly easy despite all the different flowers that I used. I added in my flowers one at a time to my vase, turning the vase as I went to make sure the flowers looked good all around. I also bent a few stems here and there around the bottom of the arrangement so that they were facing down.

I love using pinks, greens and yellows for spring but for this next centerpiece I included some peach colored roses for something a little different. The soft peach really ended up matching nicely with the bright yellow from my other faux flowers. You can click here to see a step by step guide for this centerpiece.

I love using this area in my kitchen for seasonal decorations. It’s kind of a “catch all” area where I can display some items that I may not be able to display anywhere else.

The decorations here are pretty simple. A few scattered Easter eggs displayed in differed containers like a small bowl, a glass, and a pretty vase.

And this is the lower section of the hutch where I used three turquoise cups filled with a couple of faux flowers.

Both me and my eight year old daughter can’t get enough of cute little chicks any time of the year, so this next one is truly a favorite for both me and her.

A few tiny chicks and a small basket looks so sweet by our living room window as they sit on a bed of shredded green construction paper! Yes, if you have a shredder and some construction paper you can make your own grass or what I would better refer to as DIY confetti.

I filled my small basket first with brown paper (the stuff that comes in delivery boxes) then I shredded some light green construction paper to give my precious little “twin” newborn chicks a bed to rest on.

Too cute!

A wooden bunny embellished with some handmade mesh bows and surrounded by Easter eggs on a white plate.

The bows are held in place with sticky dots but hot glue would work here too. One thing to keep in mind here is that the wooden bunny would be much sturdier if I would have glued it on to my plate but I wanted to keep it simple and quick so mine is not glued on.

I found this large Easter egg wall decoration at my local dollar store probably last year and decided to use it again this year. It’s embellished with a large burlap bow and some faux flowers that I went ahead and hot glued in place.

FYI: when I hot glue flowers on to flat surfaces, I find that it works best when I cut off as much of the stem as I can so that the flowers glue on nicely.

Paper cone trees for spring? Why not!

I’ve seen these cone trees a lot on Pinterest and have been wanting to give them a try for some time now.

I finally got around to trying them and honestly it took some time learning to roll the paper into its cone shape but once I got it they were pretty easy.

I just used a sheet of construction paper, rolled it into a cone shape, allowing it to flare out around the bottom (the part that would be the bottom of the tree) and once the paper had its cone shape I cut off some the bottom part to level it out and make sure that it could stand up on my table.

Phew! That’s one serious run on sentence…

Lastly I used some scotch tape to hold it in place.

To decorate my cone trees, I hot glued on some beaded chains and bows then topped them off with faux flowers.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Simple Table Decoration Ideas With Dried Flowers

I always seem to end up with a few dried flower decorations around my home this time of year since my birthday is in January and then there’s Valentine’s Day a month after (yay for flowers on those special days)

My husband always tries to pick up some flowers for me on those special days and of course I put them in a vase with some water as soon as he brings them. I try to keep them around and enjoy them for as long as possible but once they start drying I find that some of the flowers and greenery still look very pretty so I start wondering what else can I do with them.

Dried flower decorations may not be for everyone and I have to admit they don’t always work for me either because let’s be honest, they can sometimes look a bit tacky (eek, so sorry to any tacky arrangements out there) But I think if we keep it simple and even add in a few extras like candles, ribbons or even marbles like I did below, we can end up with beautiful long lasting decorations, for those of us that are not completely against dry flower arrangements that is 🙂

Let’s get to it…

Simple Table Decoration Ideas With Dried Flowers

I love how this yellow rose kept its beautiful color once it dried. It was part of a bouquet of roses for Valentine’s Day that were all different colors and this was the brightest in the bunch.

I took my yellow rose once it dried and carefully pulled off a few of its petals, trying my best not to tear them. Then I combined those with a few marbles in a small votive. I topped that with what was left of my rose for a tiny, colorful and oh so cute decoration for any side table, window or anywhere else you’d like to decorate in your home.

I love!

Here I took almost all of the petals off of this dark pink rose and used them to surround a short, white candle on a small white plate.

I thought the rose looked so pretty when I pulled off most of its petals and seeing the center part of it so I decided to place it right in front of my candle making it a focal point for this simple and classic decoration.

I had a bouquet of light pink roses for my birthday that dried to this almost rusty beige shade and surprisingly didn’t start drooping down while they dried out. I ended up removing all of the leaves from their stem and placed them in this cylinder vase.

I think baby’s breath stems can look so pretty all on their own.
These baby breaths were not quite dry just yet so I put them separate in a vase with some water while they dried out some more.

This is one of those really super simple ideas that I think work so lovely for those of us that enjoy simple decorations.

And lastly one more simple baby’s breath centerpiece, this one hanging out in a much smaller vase.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Simple Valentine’s Day Crafts and Home Decor Lookbook

Floral bouquets, chocolates, hearts…and if you have a kid like I do, silly little Valentine’s Day favors for all those school friends, are a few of the things that make Valentine’s day so wonderful. It’s a holiday that I truly love. Even though it’s not actually a true holiday 😉

Hello friends! Valentine’s Day is almost here so let’s take a look at a few simple decorations that you can easily put together for your home or anywhere else that could use some last minute Valentine’s day cheer.

As always, I’m using items that I already had on hand and things that you can easily find in dollar stores, crafting stores or even sections in department stores with crafting and party supplies.

Simple Valentine’s Day Crafts and Home Decor Lookbook

I don’t think I could ever do any decorating around my house without a few faux flowers scattered around here and there. I know faux flowers may not work for everyone but for a black thumb girl like me, faux flowers are an almost perfect alternative to real flowers.

For a very subtle Valentines Day floral decoration I used these pink faux flowers and a light pink satin ribbon to tie three bows onto my vase and although this is so simple and quick to put together I find it so so pretty!

Valentine’s Day always calls for atleast a few roses and these red faux roses have been a favorite of mine for a few years now. I love bringing them out every year and creating a centerpiece with them.

This came together so quickly with three mason jars, a couple of red roses in each jar, a white flower and smaller yellow filler flowers to finish off.

Can that red on those roses be anymore beautiful?

A couple of areas in our bedroom…

This pink floral arrangement came together with four large faux pink peonies that I’ve had for a few years now. Then I simply taped on some glittery heart confetti’s all through out the round vase.

I usually keep things very simple for holiday decorations just because I know they won’t be out for a long time but of course if you want a more permanent or stronger hold you can add embellishments with hot glue.

So I can’t take credit for this three heart decoration on my kitchen wall. It’s something I picked up years ago at a random shop while on vacation with my husband. I always use it for Valentine’s Day and never really have to do much to it other than maybe add an extra bow like I did here on the command hook that it’s hanging off of. It’s made of faux berries, red beads and organza red ribbon holding it all together.

Are you like me and decorate with items you’ve had forever?

The simplest craft ever…cardstock, ribbon, and heart stickers for a simple handmade sign on the kitchen countertop.

My kitchen hutch always gets a sprinkle of holiday decor.

A pink mug, pink bowl and a few extra fun Valentine’s Day knick knacks come together for this area and give it just a bit of Valentine’s decor for my kitchen.

This one may just be my favorite.

A strand of tiny adhesive rhinestones and a red rhinestone heart on a chubby white candle.

Here I’m taking a fuzzy heart pick, a small votive that I added a small red heart sticker to and filled it with a very long strand of crafting pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s Day lookbook of my home. Check out my foam rose wreath as well as this post for more crafts and decorations great for Valentine’s Day.

DIY Foam Rose Valentine’s Day Wreath

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a wreath that I recently made for Valentine’s Day using pink foam roses. I’ve never used foam flowers of any kind for crafting but I saw these at my dollar store when I was looking through the craft section and thought their beautiful pink color was so pretty so I grabbed a couple of bags. I was actually looking for faux flowers to make a Valentine’s wreath but couldn’t find anything that I thought would work so I thought why not give these foam roses a try in place of faux flowers.

I will say, this was a fairly easy craft to do but a bit time consuming. Gluing on the roses one by one did take some patience on my part but the end result was worth it! So you may want to keep that in mind if you try this DIY at home as well as the size of your wreath because of course, the larger the wreath the more foam roses you will have to glue on.

Let’s get to it!

DIY Foam Rose Valentine’s Day Wreath

I started my wreath by making a frame for it out of poster board but you can also use a heart shaped wire frame or even a wooden base instead.

I shared a step by step tutorial here where I made a sturdier version of this frame, but for this wreath I am keeping it very simple…

I traced a heart onto my poster board, using a a large red paper heart that I already had in my crafting collection but you can free style this if you are good at drawing hearts…

Then I cut my heart out, added some twine for hanging (that you can see below) and now I’m ready to start gluing on my foam roses.

Now, I had originally wanted to fill the entire heart with my roses but unfortunately it turned out that I didn’t have enough roses! I measured everything before starting and must have miscounted somewhere (face/palm moment) so if you try this DIY out for yourself please make note to buy plenty of foam roses, unlike me 🙂

I picked up two bags of roses which had about eighteen in each bag and my heart measures 9 by 10 inches so I would say about eighty foam roses, give or take, would have been enough to fill the entire heart.

Since I didn’t have enough roses, I went ahead and cut out the center of my frame with both a scissor and crafting knife and then finished gluing on my roses with hot glue. As I mentioned earlier, this was overall an easy craft to do aside from being time consuming when it came to hot gluing on all the roses. So patience, patience, patience (and maybe a snack) is what it will take while you sit and glue on your flowers.

After that, I made a bow with white ribbon, hot glued that on and added a few small decorative hearts in the middle of that bow.

The last step before finishing my wreath was filling in a few areas where my white frame was showing through.

To do this, I took a pink faux flower and cut up the petals into small pieces to fill in any area where I could see the white frame.

And now I have a beautiful pink rose wreath perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

3 Simple Valentine’s Day Decorations (Perfect For a Small Table or Countertop)

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing 3 simple Valentine’s Day decorations that are perfect for small tables or kitchen countertops.

They can be recreated with things you may already have at home or inexpensive items you can find at dollar stores.

Change out the soft pink shades that I’m using for reds or even darker pinks for a Valentine’s Day decoration customized to your own liking!

Ok let’s get to it!

3 Simple Valentine’s Day Decorations (Perfect For a Small Table or Countertop)

This first Valentine’s Day decoration would look lovely in any small kitchen area.

For my supplies, I used a small flower arrangement I already had on hand, pink ribbon, a pink heart rhinestone, a small white gravy boat, and some sticky dots.

I’ve had this tiny flower arrangement for a few years now and decided to use it for Valentine’s Day by placing it inside a white gravy boat that I’ve also had forever.

To recreate something like this I would suggest using a small round vase or votive, fill it with white tissue paper, and then if you don’t have a small arrangement like I do you can use faux flowers and some floral foam in your vase to hold your flowers upright.

Wrap ribbon around the vase, hold it in place with glue dots or a glue gun. Then add a rhinestone or other pretty embellishments to the ribbon.

Wine glasses are so pretty for decorating.

Supplies used here are felt stickers, pink faux flowers, a wire cutter for my flowers, and a wine glass.

I simply scattered felt pink heart stickers around my wine glass, cut my flower stems all down to the same size and filled my glass with them.

I love keeping around recycled jars for decorating and organizing. I probably keep around way too many honestly but sometimes I just can’t help it 🙂

My supplies for this piece are recycled jars, pink basket filling, twine, heart shaped rhinestones, tea lights, pink ribbon, and glue dots.

I filled my jars with layers of pink basket filling (like what we use for Easter baskets) and twine then topped that with small battery operated tea lights.

On one jar, I tied a pink bow and for the smaller one I added rhinestones.

Hope you enjoyed these 3 Valentine’s Day Decoration ideas!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Small Red and White Christmas Arrangement

The holidays are here along with all its beauty!

Let me share with you a small red and white arrangement that I recently put together.

You can place it on an end table, nightstand or any other area in your home that’s asking for some holiday cheer!

Most of the items that I am using are things that I already had but you can substitute any of these items with things you may already have at home or similar items at craft stores and your local dollar store.

Small Red and White Christmas Arrangement

Supplies:

A few white faux flowers, all from my local dollar store and eucalyptus leaves from Walmart.

A few decorative Christmas picks…

(FYI: My candy cane pick was not long enough for my arrangement so I just taped on a straw to get the length that I needed)

White polka dot ribbon from the Dollar Tree and red ribbon from the Container Store (both purchased a couple of years ago).

One large rhinestone, small red rhinestones, and strips of teeny tiny rhinestones 🙂 all from the dollar store.

As for my container, I’ll be using a recycled can (so fancy)

Before getting started, I wanted to see how my large white flower would look with some glitter so I decided to go for it and added some silver and iridescent white glitter by “painting” on some inexpensive glue and then sprinkling on my glitter little by little. This did take a few coats to get it to look the way I wanted and it was a little time consuming but the results were beautiful.

For the can, I wrapped both of my ribbons, the red over the white polka dot ribbon and secured them around the back. I used these dots to attach my ribbon but hot glue would work here too.

I also added all of my rhinestones, as you see below.

The small rhinestone strips and large rhinestone are all self adhesive so those were pretty easy to attach but the small red stones are not adhesive (no sticky backing) so I used a toothpick and hot glue to carefully attach them all one by one (my poor fingers) This was a tricky step because aside from trying to not burn my fingers I also had to kind of map them out first before gluing them on so that they were evenly spaced out. It took some patience as well as being ok with it not being perfect but at the end I was happy with the way it came out.

FYI: I didn’t add my rhinestones until after photographing the way I placed my flowers, in case you notice that they are missing in the next step 🙂

I placed my large white flower off to one side and the smaller white flowers all off to the other side…

Then I added in my leaves behind the smaller white flowers and the rest of the picks mixed into the smaller white flowers.

Move your flowers around if needed and that is it.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
