Here's a quick, easy, and super inexpensive DIY to make candy decorations! The best part is that you probably have all of these supplies on-hand, so this DIY could be no-cost.

1. Wrapping paper (any color, theme, or patter)
2. Bathroom tissue/paper towel roll (if using a paper towel roll, cut it in half)
3. Ribbon
4. Tape
5. Scissors

Directions:
** Cut your roll in half. If you prefer a larger ornament, leave it whole. (I used a combination of bathroom tissue and paper towel rolls. I cut the bathroom roll in half and the paper towel roll into thirds).
** Cut wrapping paper to cover the tissue roll, leaving enough length at each end to tie the ribbon (Measure according to the type of roll you have on-hand)
** Tape the wrapping paper to the tissue roll to hold it in place, then wrap the rest of the paper around the roll and secure it with more tape.
** Tie the ribbon at each end of the roll. (Tip: it helps to bunch the paper with your fingers and then tie it. This prevents accidentally ripping the paper when you tie it).
You can make these candy ornaments for any occasion, weather it's to decorate a Christmas tree, baby shower event, or as a finishing touch on a wrapped gift!

Here's a cute, quick and easy DIY that you can make for any occasion.

1. I used a gingerbread house themed box that Dollar Tree had this year.
2. I used my exacto knife to cut the corners on each side of the box.
3. I taped snacks and gift cards inside (I used lots of tape because I wanted to make sure everything stayed in place once I put it all together).
4. I returned each side to an upright position and then placed the lid on top.
5. When the box is opened by lifting the lid, the gifts inside will unfold.

There's so many possibilities with this DIY, and with Valentine's Day coming up you can make some really creative gifts!

Happy crafting!

Look who I ran into while I was at CVS on this rainy, Sunday afternoon! I told Santa that I'll have cookies and milk for him, and carrots and celery for Rudolph and the crew when they swing by the house in two weeks!

If you're a candle lover like me, do yourself a favor and get a candle warmer lamp. I've been enjoying mine! Goodbye matches, electric lighters, and the soot they leave behind. The warmer allows the candle to "burn" down evenly, and the added glow from the light gives your room a cozy feel. Y'all already know I'm getting ready to jazz it up for the holidays with berries and ribbon!

I made the centerpiece a few years ago using a candlestick and bowl from Dollar Tree for the base, and stems from Dollar Tree as the filller. It was a cost effective and beautiful DIY that I use year after year.
