Christmas Decorating

This is a very nice craft to master. Making wreaths. So beautiful because you can make them according to every season or according to your own taste. I've seen so many beautiful ones. For easter even one with eggshells and lavender! I also like them for their ability to make very tastefull decorating.

Found a recipe to make them. They are said to give such a nice smell and they look lovely in a bowl. Good idea to make different designs.

Things You’ll Need:
Orange
Cloves
Ribbon
Step1 Chose a good thin skinned orange. Any orange will work, but a Florida juice orange has a thin skin and gets the juice soaking into the cloves.
Step2If you want to hang it as an ornament you can attach a one inch wide ribbon. You can hot glue gun it on or pin it making a top to bottom circle. You can do it two directions to make an X and tie a bow at the top.
Step3Poke the cloves into the orange. Poke them deep, up to the bigger top of the spice clove. You can cover the orange completely or make lines and patterns.
Step4 The spicy cloves will absorb the orange juice and give off a great Christmas smell. Leave it as long as you want. The orange will dry out over time. When they were very dry my mom would occasionally boil one to bring the smell through the whole house then discard it when done.

Pincones a a sure way to make somthing breath winter or christmas. Even the front door.

Timeless decorating.

Here a nother wreath to show just how versatile they can be. It can be worth wile to follow a little workshop to learn the finer skills.

Another pine decoating idea. inspiring

Kinda looks like a long wreath . Put it on the table.

Pinecone galore!

This is the way you should decorate the staircase. Notice the folded blankets? They catch my attention anytime and anywhere I go. These are great because they are my old time favortite design "the tartan".
