JOY Christmas Wreath

September 28, 2017 by Shellie Wilson


Gather a few dry twigs and branches from your garden and try making this joyful wreath!

 

 

 

Materials

Dry branches (small)

• White foam board

• X-acto knife

• Hotglue gun

• Beads and decoration supplies

Step-1: Collect a bunch of dry twigs and branches. Collect them in different sizes.

Step-2: Create the wreath base using the dry twigs and branches. You can use hot glue to attach the twigs and branches together, create any pattern you want but make that the pattern is somewhat round.

Step-3: Gather some faux pearl beads and other supplies to decorate the wreath. I created a feather pattern from white felt and glued the beads on the small side branches of the wreath.

Step-4: Cut out the letters ‘J’ and ‘Y’ from white foam board, make sure that the size of the letters are proportionate to the size of the wreath. Glue the ‘J’ on the top and the ‘Y’ at the bottom of the wreath, the wreath base is the ‘O’ and it completes the word ‘JOY’.

Add more decoration if you wish to and finally attach a hanging mechanism to complete the wreath.

Happy Crafting!

Hidden Storage Fake Books – Why You Need Them

I am absolutely in love with these color-styled hidden storage books. They are one of those home decor finds that instantly make a shelf or coffee table look more styled, more thoughtful, and a little more expensive. Which color would you get?

What makes them so appealing is that they are not just decorative. Each faux book opens up to reveal hidden storage, which means they are doing double duty as both decor and a practical way to tuck away little bits of everyday clutter. I love anything that helps a space look beautiful while still being useful, and these do exactly that.

The blue tones in this set are especially lovely. They feel calm, elegant, and easy to blend into so many decor styles, from modern and coastal through to classic or vintage-inspired spaces. They have that curated designer look that makes it seem like you have carefully styled every corner of your home.

These are the kind of pieces that make me ridiculously happy because they solve a problem without looking like storage. You can use them to hide remotes, notes, keepsakes, or all those random little things that never seem to have a proper home. Instead of adding more baskets or boxes, you get something that looks polished and intentional.

I think that is why I am so taken with them. They are pretty, clever, and practical all at once. For anyone who loves styled bookshelves, beautiful coffee table decor, or home accessories that secretly work harder than they look, these hidden storage books are such a fun find.
