I have been busy tinkering here at home with small things that we have collected over the years. I am recycling empty containers into simple Christmas decorations using the pretty little things that my kinds have found during our walks or small things that they got as gifts. First up are the small tree jars that was given to the kids by the homeroom Moms last year. They were filled with chocolates. Now that they are empty, I filled it with the small figurines that we have.
My son collected these baby pine cones last summer during one of our walks so I thought of using it to fill the tree jar, it made him happy that I used his collection.
The card that says "God's love is the Heart of Christmas" was given away by the second grade homeroom moms this year so I out it by the nativity scene figurine.
It is now sitting in our little corner nook that the kids have initially decorated.I filled the other tree jar with sweets (tree cane and small candy canes). The kids received these sweets last year but they never really ate them so these would serve as decorations from now on.
Ain't that cute?
Another thing that I tinkered is this empty candle jar. I put two of the baby cones that daughter and I painted and a one holly branch.
The small pine branches are also from my son's nature collection. They are real pine leaves that he dried out so they smelled good.
I don't really decorate for any other holidays but I make sure to decorate on Christmas. If you are tired of putting up the same decor every year, you can alter them. Make something new out of something old. Pink Saturday
