Two Simple Projects - Pinterest Success #8

 

Every Pinterest project does not need to be expensive or time consuming. I love simple projects that I can finish quickly, because for me the fun sometimes is not actually doing the DIY project, but the result. Also, the most rewarding thing, is using Pinterest for the inspiration and then putting your own creative twist on the project. Last week, I finished two quick and inexpensive projects and I love how they turned out - simple and sweet.

For project one, I bought an inexpensive (1/2 price) frame at Michaels with a 5x7 mat. I found this printable on Pinterest and easily printed it on white paper and placed it in the frame. Some branches, sweetly tied with twine were hot glued to the corner of the frame. It hangs in my laundry room and the words remind us of the meaning of Christmas.

For project two, I used a gold tray I owned and purchased some gold jingle bells and some flameless candles, all at 1/2 price. The Pinterest inspiration can be found here. You could use silver or red jingle bells and real candles, if you prefer.

I placed the candles on the tray and spread the jingle bells all around. With the candles flickering, it is especially pretty and shiny at night, sitting on the red, green and gold plaid table runner, found on my kitchen table.

Don't let Pinterest overwhelm you - pick an easy project, put your creativity into it and the result will be something pretty for your home this Christmas.

Happy Wednesday!
