Recycling is key! Look for materials you already have, such as pinecones, leaves, and pods. You can even use old mason jars for a stylish makeover. Fill the jars with pinecones or pods from the yard. Add a final touch with pretty ribbon or twine around the jar.
You can spray pinecones gold or silver for a festive touch. Pinecones are wonderful for creating pretty wreaths or candle rings.
Don’t toss your glass yogurt jars. They can be easily used as tea lights.
