Fa-la-la-la-la!
Good Morning!
I have been making preparations for our holiday decor and wanted to share with you a project we started yesterday.
I have a vision for a glammed up holiday at home this year. I love all the ball ornament decorations I see out and about, but some of that stuff can get pretty pricey!
I purchased these very ugly fake rose topiaries at a garage sale for $1 each, knowing that I was going to use the base and the foam cone for this project. I like to hunt out things that have good bones that can be made over whether it be furniture, decor, or clothing.
I had my trusty assistant helping me pull all the flowers off. Good riddings!
I picked up some gold and silver ball ornaments dirt cheap from Goodwill. I bought all different sizes and only spent $7! I also went the shatter-proof route since little hands are so curious at home.
I simply just started at the base with the larger ornaments and gradually went smaller as I worked my way up. I opted for the glue gun and it worked out fine. After my first layer was in place I just filled in any gaps with the smaller ornament balls.
One down, one more to go!
I also like how this transitions to New Year Decor too…
Very glam indeed!
Have a great Wednesday!!
Lovely!
Thanks!

Ooh, love it! I never would have seen the potential in the rose topiaries.

Thanks, Sarah! I try to see past the ugly if there are good bones! xo Kristin
I think the roses are pretty. Lol
So glad to know I’m not the only one working on holiday decorations. May have to copy that idea. I’m changing colors this season and thinking of a mantel in nothing but trees of various textures and candles.
Ooooo! I love that Michelle! It will be here before we know it! xo K
Great job, girly!! And a great/cheap find! I might need to try this out.

Cute idea! Where is that pretty clock on the table from?
The clock was a Target purchase 4 years ago. It was in my son’t nursery when he was a babe. xo Kristin
Kristy, your ornament tree looks just stunning & fabulous too! So much beauty!
Thanks so much, Sophie! xo Kristin
Such a cute project. My mom bought one of these one year from some high end boutique and paid $150. What a rip off!!! Plus yours turned out much better than the one she bought. Always pays to DIY. So cute!
On trend holiday decor can get super pricey! Yikes! I agree, see something you like, you can most likely find an affordable way to make it yourself

You did a great job on your tree. Great job transforming your $1 finds. Your tree adds so much sparkle. I am visiting from Centsational Girl’s party.
Thanks so much, Judy! xo Kristin
