Hey, hey, it's nice to see you today! Care to join me for some holiday crafting?
During the winter months, when all the trees are bare, I am always drawn to this tree with red berries. I think it's called a Washington Hawthorne, but for any of my dear readers who are skilled gardeners or tree enthusiasts, please correct me if I got it wrong.
I think of it as a fantasy tree where woodland creatures come to gather for some winter feasting. But that's just me. It's also inspiration for a lot of holiday decorations like holly wreaths, garlands, and holly centerpieces.
It's easy to find bunches of these holly berries or winterberries at the supermarket. Just add them to a clear vase and your home will turn from blah to TADA!
This door decor looks so extra with all the berries and pinecones!
I'm now inspired to make my own winterberries.
I found these dried twigs with pea-shaped buds in the park. I don't know what they're called. They are lovely as is or if included in a dried floral arrangement.
But if we painted the buds using some acrylic paint and a small paintbrush...
Don't they look like winterberries?
Paint a few stems, let them dry, and add them to a vase -- instant holiday vibes!
Or why not add them to your holiday gift wrapping?
And that is how I turned some dried twigs from blah to TADA!
