Well, another week has passed, and the bags on our Advent Calendar are starting to dwindle. Our favorite so far is Day 6, “Have a Dance Party!” I even downloaded some Justin Beiber Christmas songs to shake it to…talk about fully invested in the Advent Calendar!
I had some leftover foam piping from the Metallic Bow Wreaths, so I thought I’d whip up something with Target’s Dollar Spot plastic ornaments. It was intended to be a wreath, but since we’re in wreath overload, I turned it into a centerpiece.
I wanted to add some pink so it would coordinate with our other decor this year, so I started with a piece of garland (like I used on the Pink Magnolia Mantel). I clipped the strands and glued them to the form (in no particular pattern apparently!)
Then I just worked my way around, gluing ornaments directly to the form and each other. The wreath was an insatiable beast, and I continued to add ornaments until it was even and balanced. So there are easily 100 balls.
Once they had all set, I slipped it over a hurricane candle for our Dining Room centerpiece.
We won’t have a Christmas Dinner at our house this year, but I need to find a reason to create a tablescape around this centerpiece!
What were you up to this weekend?
Love love love. Happy Monday.
Oooh so pretty, Cass! You are a crafting MACHINE these days! Come on over to my house and make me something? I was in bed most of the weekend (minus a couple of family holiday parties), still recovering from this bad head cold!
I wish you could come and whip my house into holiday shape! Love this- so fun!!
I agree . . . you are a machine. So cute. One creative hot mama.
The centerpiece is a great idea…love how creative you are…definitely a DIY machine!! 😉
You are a decorating machine. I haven't even put up my tree yet. and at this point, I wonder if I am going to do it…..
Your centerpiece is really great! I'm so impressed by all of your holiday decor and ideas!
Woww lady! Everyday we've got a new awesome craft over here! Love this one (: I think we have some of those ornaments on our trees. This weekend I was busy baking for Natasha's link up and finishing our Christmas decor! Also went to my brothers bball game…so fun (:
i love that! that is really cute! i'm totally into the glittery shatterproof ball ornaments this year too.
Love it! It looks fabulous! And can't believe there was no TWSS reference to "So there are easily 100 balls."
This is gorgeous Cassie, the colors are just perfect!
This is so pretty! Love the color combination!
