DIY Winter Decorative Bottle

I have been wanting to try this beautiful DIY winter decorative bottle by Sweet Something Design since last year! I finally followed through.  This is a great project for winter decorating! The bottle would look great on a mantle.  See the Sweet Something Design link (above) for the tutorial.



(I copied piano sheet music.  Snowflake decoration is from AC Moore.)




Thanks David for taking the pictures!  Find David's beautiful bone china decor here: Rocks&Mountains

Stay warm!

Christmas Wreaths (Hi again!)

Now that the warm weather is gone, I have turned my focus to back inside projects.  (I guess I'm a seasonal blogger.) The holidays are approaching, and I've been feeling crafty! I'm not skipping over Thanksgiving, but is the Christmas Wreath I made for this year.  (I still have my Autumn Wreath hanging.)

I made a mini version with a cute owl decoration for my boyfriend!

I purchased all the materials at AC Moore.  
For the large and mini wreath I simply tucked each piece between the vine branches.  I hot glued the owl.
