Lordy Jesus it is late late late! We ran a hundred errands today but I WILL post this blog!!!!
So today(tonight) I'm going to show you how to make an extremely easy hanging light decoration for your porch!
Here I have a bunch of cedar limbs... trimmings? off of a tree in my backyard, the little trimmers, some ribbon that was left over from my Christmas Wreath, a foam block, and a few ornament hooks. Not pictured is my handy dandy hot glue gun!
So first I unwrapped my little block
Then I trimmed off a few pieces of the cedar and shoved it in the bottom. I didn't use any hot glue for this because they stuck pretty dang good but feel free to use some!
Then I pretty much kepy shoving the pieces of cedar in the block. All facing towards the bottom. I only covered the front and sides because I figured it would fit closer to the house on an empty back.
Here it is upright
Here you can see the top that I left empty as well so I could attach an ornament hook.
Here I just hot glued it in! I ended up using a crap ton more hot glue than this(the entire top was covered) because the hook almost came out!
Here I made a bow using the left over ribbon from the Christmas Wreath.
(If you want a tutorial on how I made this bow let me know! I was in a rush and didn't think to take pics while I was making it)
I twirled the ribbon around my finger to make them all spirally and pretty.
Then I attached the bow to the block using some more ornament hooks!
Here is the final product! I might get another package of the ornaments that I used for the Christmas Wreath and hang them throughout but for today I was working with what I had!
Okay so I'm not completely sure what tomorrows blog will be about but hopefully I'll get it up a tad sooner than today's. Now I'm off to wrap the kiddos Christmas presents before one of them sneaks out of bed and sees them laying all over the floor!
