A Pine Cone Garland

The holidays are fast approaching, and I must admit that I am not ready.  I need to decorate!  I came across this great pine cone garland and instructions on how to make it at Twig and Thistle.

 Since I have some large pines in the yard, I am heading out right now to gather some for my mantle!  I may spray mine with a little silver paint for a touch of glimmer.  Our living room is a tad dark and I think that shimmer may brighten things up and add a touch of holiday magic!

Make Your Own Lighted Garland

I found some really interesting lighted garlands on Once Wed. You can personalize them however you would like. It's a wonderful idea for a wedding, and could be made in any color of your choosing. Imagine your child's name in lights! A camping themed party or movie night in the yard! Go over to Once Wed for the full set of easy directions and have at it!
