Christmas Crafting

I have been having a blast making these arrangements.

I used a cardboard "bucket" from the Dollar Store, the lights and Snowman are from Dollar Tree. The rest is from my Vintage stash as well as newer stuff. Most of the greenery is from an old garland that I have been cutting apart. The battery pack is tucked in the bucket. This is a good size at about 16 inches tall. Hubby will be taking this to work for a Secret gift Exchange.

I ended up using two sets of lights for this. I wired the star lights to the tips of the re-purposed garland, as well as another set of LED dot lights along the base. I glued red berries to the tree and added vintage pine cones and a bit of greenery below the deer. I had a piece of wire that was dotted with red berries, so I strung that in the trees. The deer is from The Dollar Tree, the 6 1/2 inch square box is from The Dollar Store.

I have been using up my stash/hoard...what ever you want to call it :)....making these arrangements. I have to say though, I am looking forward to garage sale season to stock up again.
Until Next Time....
Happy Crafting!!!
