Ever since my hubs FINALLY put up my huge mirror in the dining room, I've been obsessed with decorating it with whatever holiday season it happens to be.
Although I have plans for a few more garlands to hang about this holiday season, here is one I finished...
The garland of snowy evergreens & pine cones I bought at Michael's on sale for $6.99 (Regular price $12.99). I bought two so that it would be long enough to go across the mirror...
Then I bought a couple cheapy sprigs of berries (also on sale for 69¢).
With Anthony's help we dismantled them on a cold evening...
 |
| When I asked him to help me do this, there was no hesitation. |
 |
| When pulling the berries apart, I had to be gentle & make sure we didn't rip the wire out from the berry. We only had one casualty which could easily be fixed with a lil bit of glue & popped back on, but Anthony wanted to play with it...so he kept it. |
We then grouped them in couples & threesomes, and kept some singles & placed them randomly throughout the garland.
 |
| Yes, yes... I realize pine cones and berries don't grow together in nature, but you know what, they do in my fantasy world! |
And here we go!
 |
| I used white on white wire LED lights in the back for that nice glow at night. |
Happy Holiday Decorating!
Christmas is gonna barf all over the house this up coming week!
