Holiday Speed Decorating with Cedar


My husband is laid up from surgery on his arm and was not able to trim a few 
pine  branches from our yard, so I took matters into my own 
hands and bought this garland at Costco for $15.99!
I used clippers, floral cutters and scissors to tear it apart. It was so well built.


I deconstructed it on our kitchen island, which was a mess but warmer and sweep-able (is that a word). I want to share with you the ways I used the one garland in and around my Christmas decor.



I started a few tins, both new and vintage, I had, added the cedar and in most
 all examples I added faux  or real flowers, berries, glass balls and pine cones.


These are two vintage scoops we collected and set on the hearth.


I added a few sprigs, here there and everywhere!




Here are two on top of an antique frame.


Some were used "as is" in garland form. 



I even added some to our old sled that holds wet boots!


Then I added the what was left to the porch.


We added a buggy seat to our old red wagon and put a few faux tress
 in the middle,  then added the cedar casually around it.


I think you will have fun with this simple project and a 
big plus is the fresh scent it imparts.
Happy Holidays,
Melin
