Hey there!  Do you have a misfit Christmas decoration sitting in a box or tub just waiting for the day when it can be displayed again?  Maybe I can inspire you to bring it out and give it a makeover.  Like most of my blogs I like to revamp things I already have.  What better way to save a few bucks, right?

I had this arrangement for several years.  It is still in great shape even though it’s missing the flowers, I pulled out the flowers a couple of years ago. 🙁  Today is the day when I take it out of the tub and make it work for my Christmas home again.

I took a plastic grocery bag and wrapped up all the greenery.

Taking the Rose Gold craft paint giving it two coats.

I painted two coats with white craft paint.  Distressing it a bit with 150 grit sand paper.

I removed the bag and thought to myself, it looks good, but it’s still not grabbing me.

I stuck a couple of copper mini ornaments inside the opening of the holder.  I wanted one large ornament but it wouldn’t fit between the spindles. 🙁  It looks good with the mini ornaments, doesn’t it?

I found a copper candle on a clearance shelf at Old Time Pottery for 74¢.  Perfect to place on top of my makeover candle arrangement.

What do you think?  Doesn’t it look better with it’s new distressed look?

I just love how it looks now.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill.   I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank.    Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy.  You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
