Recently you have heard a lot about my thrifted aqua ornament find for $5. Having over 100 aqua ornaments, it’s been fun to get the creative juices going and that includes a DIY Aqua and Red Christmas Wreath.
I just really like how it turned out and the festive look for the apartment cottage front door.
Below is a simple tutorial, with a list and links for you to design your own wreath.
Last year I decorated our Christmas tree with emerald green and red. And I LOVED it. So that was the plan again this year-until…
finding over 100 aqua ornaments at the thrift store for just 5 bucks!
THAT changed my whole direction and the creative juices started flowing. My first thought was aqua and lavender. I bought a few lavender ornaments, placed them on the tree with the thrifted aqua ones. Nope, not what I wanted. It looked TOO fairy/childlike to me.
I TRIED to like it. Really, I did. The color combination just would not fit my own “style”.

While decorating your Christmas tree, you can add Christmas cheer to your chandelier, too.
It’s been awhile that I have wanted to create Air Dry Clay Ornaments with SeaShells and Sea Glass. Perusing through Pinterest helped a lot. In the end I decided to make up a “one of a kind” design.
There has been a “Grandma” tradition every Christmas, for 26 years, that each of our grandchildren receive a handmade ornament from me. Last year I tried my hand at air dry clay ornaments. They turned out…okay. Not my best work. But, fun to make, nonetheless.
