When it comes to decorating for Christmas, I try to put something in every room. Yes, I even put decorations in the bathroom! :) Well, I didn't have anything in my bedroom, and I couldn't let that happen, so I had to come up with something.
I have this lantern that I keep for decoration, so I decided to spruce that up! When I was in Colorado this past summer, I bought some silver bells on a whim at a Christmas store there. Of course when I was putting out my Christmas decorations I had nowhere to put these bells. So I thought it would be cute to put the bells in the lantern and add a bow to it.
I really like the elegance of it. Next time, I might make the bow more elaborate or at least have more sparkles. I wasn't sure this was going to work, so I just used some ribbon I had.
Occasionally I make fabric wreaths, and one of my friends had asked if I could make her one for Christmas. Her theme was peppermints and gumdrops. I couldn't find too much with gum drops on it, but I did find these really cute peppermint swirls, so I added them to the wreath the give it something extra.
