Winter Pinterest Projects

We just finished one of the coldest and longest winters I can ever remember. As a result, there were quite a few projects/Pinterest swipes that I did along the way. Most of them happened before Christmas, and were a great addition to our home during the holiday season. I keep it very simple at holiday time because my boys will just destroy things (not really-- but kind of). However, these added a simple touch of holiday fun and simplicity. 

This Merry Mail card holder was simple to put together and was a much needed item to add to my Christmas decor. I usually throw the cards we receive in a basket (or plastic bowl) and never really look at them again. But this allowed us the chance to look at them all season long. I added a few clothes pins along the ribbons in order to attach them. 

This tray was actually made for a gift exchange. I bought a simple unfinished tray at the craft store, added the background paper and wording. I then made the jar to put on it with a candle inside.  It shimmers through the snowflake cutout and adds a soft glow on the tray.
