An Up-cycled Christmas

Up-cycled Newspaper wreaths and Glitter Ornaments

This week is the official start to the holiday season.  Soon we will begin out month long celebration of Christmas season.  I cam to this realization when I walked into work this morning and our lobby was decorated with sparkly green and red dressed garland, poinsettias and matching wreaths.

Before we know it we will be making fires in our living rooms, mixing holiday cocktails and unwrapping the gifts we thoughtfully picked out by our loved ones.  Everyone has their own holiday traditions and associations.  You probably have our go to holiday dishes, decorations and parties that you routinely depend on every holiday season.  After all, it is a holiday built on tradition. 

We like putting a new spin on old traditions. Maybe revamp old ornaments with a fresh coat of festive glitter.  Try a new Christmas tree theme that is easy to do, burlap maybe? You can do this all without spending a fortune on Martha Stewart's most recent line...

Take your old wreaths, garlands and ornaments and give them a facelift.  Don't be afraid of a little crafting.
