Holly and Ivy Wreath

In between browsing for recipes that don't take half of a day to prepare, I still do crafts and this is a busy time for me.   I just love doing crafts and time sure does fly when you get involved with something and the ideas flow on some days, on other days they don't.   I have finished a few wreaths that I started last week and and some miscellaneous crafts. 


For this wreath, I wrapped red shimmery ribbon all around a styrofoam form and glued wire edged holly and ivy organza ribbon all around on top of the red ribbon.  I attached four shiny bells to add extra color.

ANIMATED SNOWY SCENE

This cute ornament was made out of a powder drink container believe or not. What I did was to and cut a oval in the front with a exacto knive, keeping about 1 1/2 inches from each end. I added little ornaments such as snowmen, santa, and teddy bear. Then I sprinkled faux snow and cut a little scened from a greeting card that I glued at the back.

 I hot glued the miniature ornaments to the bottom of the inside of the container and I had a little wreath that I hot glued to the back wall of the container. With craft glue on the top of container, I sprinkled faux snow all over and attached a battery operated tealight at the end where the plastic lid is. I pushed the tealight in from the outside and glued in so the on/off switch would work.
