Welcome to day THREE of the
Caardvarks and
CC& M blog hop! I just realized now that I forgot my links yesterday. I do apologize for that. I hope you are all having a great time hopping and getting some great ideas for the Holidays!
If you are here for the hop, you are coming from
Chris's blog. Don't you love what she has been creating??? Don't forget to hop over to
Jennifer's blog when you are done. I know I am...I just loved all of her projects from yesterday.
The one thing I have been focusing on during this crop is simple and cost effective ways to get your Holiday deocrating jump started. You just can't go wrong with Creative Cuts & More die-cuts when it comes to decorating for the holidays. Here are a few things I have done for some easy and inexpensive table decorations.
First off, I created some napkin rings. For this first one, I used some craft wire and wrapped it around my
foam snowflake to make a "hook" to attach it to plain napkin ring I already had.
I added a vintage button from my stash {I am SO loving the blue and silver combo right now for the Holidays} with a pop-up dot and then threaded the wire around to the back.
Next, I twisted the wire and bent it down to form a hook to slide it into the napkin ring.
Now you have a clean and simple napkin ring.
At 35 cents a piece, if you had 8 people for Christmas dinner, this would cost you $2.80 cents to spruce up your table.
Now for this table setting I used the the
Sleigh die-cut. The great thing about the
Metallic Cardstock at Creative Cuts & More, is that they don't need a lot of help to look great. I added some holly from my garden, silver balls, pine cones and some gift wrapping ribbon to finish this centerpiece off. Oh, and we can't forget the ambiance ;)
Now you have to check out the Velvet die cuts. They just SCREAM winter and holidays. For this quick napkin ring, I used the
velvet snowflake, some hemp and a
Jillibean Soup button.
