I did some poking around on the internet to find the which wedding colors are hot for the new year. Keep in mind, JLO Specialties can make hair pieces is most of the colors listed below.

In Part 4, I am going to show you how to make candle rings and wreaths. Again this process is very simple. This is also a great idea for a rustic wedding or holiday wedding centerpiece.
I bought a wreath for my front door when I first moved in my home, 12 years ago. It was on clearance and was still $29…but it was such a pretty wreath. About 4 years after purchasing it, it started losing its pizzazz. The one I purchased had fake fruit with a glitter shell which started cracking and falling off. The bad thing was, the way it is constructed, if I tried to change anything out of it (remove the fruit) it will rip it apart...everything is glued in with super industrial glue. I usually use wire to attach most of my embellishments so that if they get aged or damaged it is no problem changing them out.
In parts 3 and 4, how to use the needle sections of the artificial tree. Most artificial trees I have seen are basically 'pipe cleaner' style needle sections attached to metal rod that 'plugs' into a 'pole' or into the trunk. Part 3 and 4 are very similar ideas that result in different looks. In Part 3, I will show you how to make a 'pine garland' from your old christmas tree.
You can also wrap the needles directly on a light string (use same technique for wrapping as in Part 4-Wreaths/Candle Rings). After doing so, I found two potential problems…but these may not have any bearing on your project. The plaster of my walls does not like to hold anything. Nails and push pins tend to pull out quite easily. The light string wrapped with the needles is quite heavy and stiff, so it is difficult for me to get it to stay on my walls. And secondly, I have bad luck with light strings. Each year I lose about 1/3 of my strings…for no apparent reason…they just don't work anymore. I realized after I wrapped the one string, if something went wrong with lights, I would have to remove the needle sections and put them on a new string.
I found some pretty cute ideas to dress up the holiday dinner table. The following YouTube videos are different napkin folding techniques to enhance your holiday ambiance. I think my favorite is the Christmas Tree. The next one is for paper napkins
Another decorating tip, you can wipe the pine tips with glue (or use spray adhesive) and dip into glitter or snow flakes. You can also use a sponge dipped in paint to add color to the tips (like gold, silver, white….whatever). This one is much fancier. It is called the "crown". Definitely a way to spruce up that holiday or wedding table. Brought to you by eFavorMart. |
