I had to show you all my project for the day. My DBL has this wonderful tree that is loaded with beautiful acorns. He was so sweet and brought me in a sack full. I decided to make a holiday wreath with them. I bought a wreath at the Dollar store and some holiday picks. (Which I promptly took apart.) Armed with my hot glue gun I started creating my wreath. Three small blisters (the love/hate relationship with my glue gun) I had this lovely wreath. Well, I think it is lovely. It cost me a total of $7.00 dollars. I know if I were to buy this ready-made it would be lots more! So, I have something new for the holidays and all the more special because it is home made!
My husband said I could use the song "Acorns Roasting On An Open Fire" . He is SOOOOO not into Christmas! I hope your Monday is a good one! Blessings!

Hi me darlin plinths are the planks that go from the floo to the bottom of the units to hide the gap lol in the same material as the doors he he xxxx
FABULOUS Patty!
I love this wreath, beautifully arranged and it is so much nicer to make one - especially with your free acorns - than to buy a mass produced one, and cheaper too. Sorry to hear about the blisters though!
