Christmas is over and V. is so sad that the tree is gone and the decorations with it which caused us to get creative with winter decorations. Since my little explorer loves to play in the woods, I gave her a task... go and find some cool branches and bring them back to the house. As usual, she went above and beyond the call of duty and brought back what looked like several small trees. Although we couldn't use all of them, a few worked rather nicely. We fashioned them into the winter decor you see below. It was a completely free project and added a little more ambiance to our bare "after Christmas" decor. For those of you that are like us and need a little post Christmas fun..this is the project for you!
Supplies:
Twigs
Epsom salts
Glass bottle
Step 1: Send your energetic child to get some dry twigs or branches.
Step 2: Fill a bottle 3/4 with Epsom salts
Step 3: Shove the twigs in and arrange them to your liking
Step 4: Find a fun shelf or mantle to put them on!
After seeing that we had a stack of Christmas cards that we had no idea how to display, we took it one step further. We punched a hole in each card, tied a loop with some twine and hung the cards from the tree. It was a nice way to display the photo cards for at least a little longer!
