We are almost into December!!!
This is probably the funnest decorating time for me. The layers of greenery,
silver and gold, lots of bling.,..
I love it.
I decided to start decorating outside first.
I have been collecting items for this project over
the last month or so.
I picked up this ribbon early, and I am so glad I did,
the burlap ribbon has sold out!!

I thought I would share how
I layer a wreath.

I like to re-use the base
for my wreaths. This has been used for
my Christmas wreaths for over 12 years.
I have a different one for each season
that I keep re-using.

Under this greenery is just a basic grape vine wreath.
I kept the greenery on from last Christmas...I was planning
on flocking it, but I wasn't ready for the mess this year.
Maybe next year...
After I was happy with the way the branches were lying
I applied a coat of glitter/glue almost everywhere,
along the branches and pine cones.
Then came the snowflake wire ribbon
and the mercury ornaments.
After wrapping the ribbons around and around,
I stabilized them with a large bow.
Tucking it into branches and pine cones.
I bought this snowflake ornament at Micheal's as well.
The snowflake was rusty brown, so I chalk painted
it with lighter grey then darker grey on top. Once dry, I
sanded it gently and sealed it with
glittery topcoat.
It is soooo cold outside this weekend...but
once it warms up a little, and my camera doesn't
fog up...I will get some pictures from farther away.

Hope you enjoyed my version of a
Woodland Christmas Wreath.
Happy Decorating!
