A Little Festive Light

What a great little find!  I was shopping at Crate and Barrel the other day and came across this adorable tea light.  Here were all these beautiful very fine handmade glass fish bowl type tea lights layered in this awesome display which in itself was quite a sight.  These tea lights are so simple looking yet I saw so many possibilities with them.  I just loved how there was this little tea light on a pedestal sitting inside the holder.

I love that it's only 4 1/4 inches in diameter. 

 I thought I would share a few ideas I had that could be used this Holiday Season.  The ever festive cranberry.

Several tiny pine cones.

I snipped a piece of greenery off a branch that I had, thought it would work perfectly.  It has what appears to be a sugared look to it which makes it really interesting.

Cut two more for a total of three pieces of greenery in the tea light.  To even add more of a pop you can add a coloured tea light.  I tried a few different colours and it made for a great look.  Grouping a few of these together would make a great little statement and table display.

Thank you for visiting me today.  I'm away until Thursday which would explain the missing post yesterday. 

Where ever you are in your day, I hope you're enjoying it!

Wishing you many wonderful creations!



Christmas Beauties.....

Gather some empty jars add some greenery, water, cranberries and a floating candle...so pretty!

Such a fun a versatile project. 

Let me show you how easy it was!

Gather all the items you need

Cut your greenery placing it into your glass container, add as much or as little as you wish

Fill your container with water just full enough to allow for the cranberries and floating candle

Here is what your container should look like once the water is added.

I have enough room to add the cranberries and floating candle and if need

be, I am able to add a bit more water if necessary

Carefully add your cranberries until you achieve the look you want, this will depend on the size of glass container you have chosen. 

Add your floating candle, a bit more water if necessary and enjoy!

So pretty!

Group several together to make a statement

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, now it's your turn!

I Got What I Needed ....

...to start my project with the jars.

I was out today doing some Christmas shopping and of course had to have some me time thrown in there.  If you recall my drawing from yesterday,  I needed to pick up a few things before I could get started.   I had the jars ....and the water is a given, it was the rest of the stuff.  Not to worry now, I have what I need so tomorrow I'll put it all together and we'll see how it turns out.  Here is what I picked up.

Some cranberries, floating candles and two different pieces of greenery.  One piece that looks something like variegated boxwood.  Feel free to correct me as there was no name on the greenery sticker.  The other greenery with the red berries is called a Foliage Bush, so we'll just go with that for now.  I chose it because of a bit of sparkle and it also went really well with the boxwood.  I'm not sure at this point what greenery I'm going to use.  I may use both or just one.  I'll try a few things and go with what I think looks best.  Oh.....I also picked up one of the most versatile and cutest tea light holders ever and I can't wait to show you that too.  

Where ever you are in your day, I hope you're enjoying it!
Wishing you many wonderful creations!
