Fall Decorations

2009-11-22T08:57:00.001-08:00

I got these ideas out of a Pottery Barn magazine and since I can't afford Pottery Barn I decided to make these myself in the most inexpensive way possible!

The glass containers all came from Ross for $5.00-$19.00, I have seen them at Wal-Mart as well for about the same price. I use these all year round so they have been a great investment.

These pumpkins and pine cones came in a set for $5.00 each at Wal-Mart. They were kind of boring and they looked cheap so I bought some gold spray glitter (also from Wal-Mart) and sprayed the pumpkins which made them look more elegant. The rocks in the bottom are "river rocks" from Wal-Mart. There are located outside by the potting soil and playground sand it comes in a large bad and costs around $4.00. These rocks are very pretty once you rinse them off and they are a fraction of the price as the decorative rocks you find in the craft section.

This arrangement is the same as the one above. This one is just in a different container

I went outside a picked up a lot of sticks to make this arrangement. I broke them all to around the same length and spray painted them with fall colors (you can also spray these with gold glitter as well for additonal shimmer) and tied raffia around the bunch!

Finished product! See below for more details...

O.K., so I went outside again and picked up more sticks...hey they are FREE you know. I spray painted them with pretty fall colors and put these in my largest glass container.

This is a smaller version of the arrangement on the above photos (center). This was how my fireplace turned out with the fall decorations that I made myself for next to nothing!

I hope you got a few ideas and enjoyed these projects.

Enjoy!!

Our Christmas Table

2009-11-19T13:22:00.000-08:00

I must admit I'm very proud of this table setting, I'm even more thrilled that everything on this table was less that$50.00!! Get a pen and paper because I'm going to tell you how I did it. The white plates, napkins and napkin rings, I bought last year after Christmas at Target for 70% off. The place mats, glass wine goblets (which are thick and sturdy) were bought at the Dollar Tree. I found the glass cylinder container at on sale at pottery barn, which was a little pricey at about $30.00 (and not included in the total) but I use it all year round and for every season and holiday. I have seen similar glass containers at Wal-Mart for $10.00-$20.00, they are a great investment and very versatile as you will see with a lot of my holiday projects. I purchased the ornaments from Wal-Mart, they are the shatterproof 24 in a container for $5.00 and you can use them year after year. I tied some ribbon around the stem of the wine goblet and placed an ornament in each goblet. My favorite purchase were the gold chargers from Wal-Mart and they were only $5.oo for all four! The chargers also come in silver and red. You can also use the chargers to place in the center of a table with some small ornaments, glass beads, or tinsel and a candle, use extreme caution when lighting candles with other objects in the container, I primarily use these as decoration only. And the sweet angel ornaments were gifts from my mother for my first Christmas tree as an adult.

I hope you can use some of these ideas to make a beautiful and inexpensive table setting for this holiday season.

Enjoy!

Helpful Hint: Look through your old holiday decorations and maybe ask your mom, grandma or aunt for some old holiday heirloom ornaments. You can also place a pretty holiday name tag inside the wine goblet as a name place card.
