HomeY Treats

Yesterday, I posted pictures of my Christmas project and share you a story how I thought of it. Since I started it, why don't you also show your Christmas project on your own blogs? If you don't have any blog, you can email me the pictures of your Christmas project and be sure to include a description. I'll feature your project here to show everyone your creation. You can post a comment here to tell us where to track your article about your Christmas project. I’m looking forward to see your own work of art for Christmas. By the way, here’s my email: homeytreats@ymail.com.

Christmas is coming so I decided to do some Christmas decoration for our home. I told my mom not to buy a Christmas tree anymore. We have a small space at home so a Christmas tree would not fit anywhere. Last year, we had a Christmas tree at the living room but it makes our home more crowded and it’s always on the way…so messy to look at. So I took out all the decorations we hang on our last year Christmas tree. There were lots of ornaments and Christmas balls in red, blue, silver and gold. I decided to use them again to decorate our house. I pulled out a nylon string and attached the balls together then put an ornament to give accent to the bunch of balls. After doing some finishing touch, the work of art for Christmas is done. I hang the balls in every corner of our home and I’m really glad that it looks nice. I’m planning to do more of this in different colors. Maybe you should also try doing this on your old Christmas decors. Why buy a new one if you could still use the old one? Just do some retouch. I’m sure they’ll be beautiful like the new ones. It would be more fun to do this with your Family.

I was looking for easy to do crafts when I saw this project from Better Homes and Gardens. I find it interesting to do but the image that was posted in the website doesn't look so attractive (actually, it is shown below). I posted the project thinking that someone may want to try it and send me pictures of his/her finished craft. I'll be very glad to post those pictures if the sender allowed me. I'll also try doing this when I have enough free time and I'll show you a better craft of it.


What You'll Need

* Drill
* Bits
* 18-gauge wire
* 3-inch-thick pieces of wood or logs
* Strong adhesive (such as E6000)
* Wire cutters
* Dripless taper candles

Make It

1. Using a drill bit to fit the wire, drill an off-center hole in each wood piece.
2. Cut an 18-inch-long piece of wire for each candle. Glue one end of the wire into the hole. Let the glue dry.
3. Wrap the wire around candle. Shape the wire end into a curlicue.
