Christmas Porch Update

I had a few minutes so spare while the hubby was able to watch the kids, which is a rarity! So, I decided to take advantage of this and work on my porch for a bit! I had two pre-lit evergreen trees that I used to love, but anymore they are just beginning to look a bit pitiful.. Luckily, I had just the thing for them! The kids and I were at my friends house the other day and she had some trimmings from her live Christmas tree sitting on her front porch. I said, ” I know this may sound strange, but are you using those branches on the porch?” She said, ” Nope!”, long story short, I told her I would love to take them and make some wreaths! I got those babies home and just couldn’t wait to use them!! I can’t wait to show you some of my other creations using these beautiful greens, but you’ll just have to wait! Follow with me as I show you how I incorporated them into my front porch!

So, as I was saying earlier, I felt it was time to give those aged evergreens a makeover! I simply did this by adding spurts of the live greenery throughout, and a few pine cones here and there! Wow, they looked so much better already!! I couldn’t believe how much extra branches I had left over, so I grabbed an un-used planter, wrapped it in ivory burlap and tied it together with some of my pretty red ribbon! I filled it with lots of branches and added some pine cones too! At the beginning of the season, one of my friends Dad filled a huge trash bag full of pine cones from his yard for me. I’ve been so excited to put them to use! Thanks Ron 😉 I wanted to add some finishing touches, so I sprayed my trees and planter full of branches with hairspray and poured on some silver glitter for sparkle! It looks beautiful and I’m pretty happy with it for less than a half hour of my time 😉

Oh! And be sure to check out the two wreaths I scored from Jo Ann’s for $10 each, I was excited!
