Winter time Decorations

These are a few cost friendly, homemade, winter time decorations that everyone will have a blast making!

Spray-painted Pinecones 

What you will need:
1. About 12 varying size pinecones. (I'm pretty sure everyone has pinecones laying around their yard, but if not just ask a friend or neighbor if you could help clean up their yard by removing any unwanted pinecones. :)
2. One large cardboard box. (Recycled box.)
3. A few cans of spray-paint. (Whatever colors look best with your house)
What to do:
1. Place 3 or 4 pinecones in cardboard box.
2. Spray pinecones with first color. Let dry. Turn pinecones over and spray. Let dry. 
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for each color.



Floating Cranberry Centerpiece 

What you need:
1. Vase/ candle holder
2. Candle (White looks best)
3. Cranberries (fresh works best. NOT FROZEN!)
4. Holly-berry leaves/ with berries. (Or any pretty winter leaf.)
5. Water (Amount varies)
What to do:
I think you can figure that out! : ) 
One tip is to wash your cranberries first.

I thought this was quite cute! Very easy! I think all that was used was:
1. Vase
2. Candle
3. Sugar/salt/sand....?
3. Cranberries.

Very pretty and super simple!
 
 
Cinnamon Stick Candle-holders

This is by far my favorite! And while I've never done this I think it's fairly simple.....?
What you need:
1. Candle/with holder
2. Cinnamon Sticks
3. Small ribbon/ twine
4. Hot glue-gun/ with glue sticks
What to do:
1. Glue each individual stick onto candle holder in and upright fashion
2. Repeat step 1 until candle holder has no bare-spots
3. Let dry
4. Tie ribbon on and enjoy!



This is by far the easiest craft! No need to explain!


Vase with acorns. very easy, but pretty! 

 Elegant!

 Same idea as the pinecones! : ) pretty cute!


This is the hardest of the craft projects, but very beautiful!
