In keeping with trying to not spend a lot for decorations this year, I took a cue from Laurel over at Chipping With Charm and her Twine Wreath Ornaments. Hers are so cute and rustic . . .
Believe it or not, I didn't have much twine but I did have a lot of ribbon, including some vintage seam tape so I used those to wrap the rims. I like how the flat ribbon created this 'indentation' on the wreath.
I also have a bag of these tiny, tiny "pine cones". I'm not sure what they really are but they grow on small trees around here and I collected a bunch in the fall.
After wrapping a few with different ribbons, I added some of these pinecones and pearls on one . . .
To another, I just added a 'spray' of the pinecones . . .
and a book page banner and vintage key to another
I like how these turned out and will probably be making more to use up more scraps of ribbon, etc.
Linking to these parties this week . . .
