{ DIY Thrifty Berry Christmas Wreath }

So every Christmas  season  I try incorporate at least two simple, cozy & festive DIY projects that anyone can make for their home. No power tools, big budget or help needed. Well, today I'm  super excited to share the MOST simple double ribboned Christmas  berry wreath!! I needed a wreath for our front door to coordinate with our 2019 Christmas porch { Coming Soon } , so I made one for $6...Yup, 6 dollars!!!
•Come read & WATCH the tutorial below...

 

S U P P L I E S: 

  • Wreath { any kind} I used Boxwood 
  • Berries { $6 pack from Target }
  • Two kinds of ribbon
  • Small zip tie 


 
STEP 1
I picked up these this $6 bag of berry clippings at Target. The wreath I already had, you could even use a thrift store or one you have!

 

STEP 2
Take the berries out of the bag & put in the middle of the wreath for easy access. 

 

STEP 3
Start at the bottom middle  of the wreath & work your way up on one side about half way, then do the same on the other side staggering them. Make sure the berry stems are tucked into the wreath securely into the twine or thick part of the wreath { super simple}. No scissors, glue etc... needed!


 

 

STEP 4
Once the berries are all placed & secured, it's time for the ribbon!! I used two different shades of green ribbon I had leftover from decorative pillow packaging sets! Simply tie a bow with each, layer them & attach with a small zip tie { or bread tie}.

Place the bows on top of each other & slip the zip tie through the middle of each bow into the twine. Adjust ribbon to cover zip tie if necessary.  A bread tie can be used on the back to secure even more. 


 

VOILA, A BEAUTIFUL  CHRISTMAS WREATH using things around the house- HASSLE FREE!♡

{ Vintage Christmas Coffee Table }

Happy Sunday, pals & welcome back to TQS! So back in September when we went on our week long 10 year anniversary trip we did a lot of antiquing in northern  Michigan!! We left the cottage for two days & went even farther north up by Petoskey to Carp Lake, MI to visit my aunt! While visiting we drove the Petoskey coast & stopped at a bunch of little country antique dealers..I ended up randomly finding this old chippy table in a tent sale in town...for a whopping $20!!! You know I snatched it up ha. The character, look & size were perfect for our upstairs living room. Well, like usual I forgot to blog it, so today I am sharing it fir Christmas in all of it charm!! Come see the full reveal below..


 

I wanted to keep with the rustic dainty vintage  Christmas look, so I just added a little mini tree, wood stocking ornaments & simple "Merry Christmas " ribbon!!

 
It's  a smaller table, which works out great for us, especially with the dogs running around constantly.  I love the white oval top & chippy brown legs..the character oozes from this little table! 

 

I layered it to add a bit more depth & height with this wood cubby, & leather tray! Few rustic decor goods { almond candle,  vintage wood tobacco pipes, matches & a pottery plate..}

 

The details...so cozy. I think this is about the only piece of furniture I didn't have to paint..Out of all of the pieces we've had!!



 

The browns, whites & creams with touches rustic whimsical flare are pretty much my going theme upstairs ...I can't  wait to share downstairs-SOON!!


Did you guys like this cozy little thrifty coffee table? Sometimes the thriftyiest pieces entail the most charm with minimal effort & this little coffee table is just that!
