Fairy Light Birdcage...and a pretty Christmas table vignette.

I LOVE fairylights!
And I LOVE birdcages!
Let's put them together for a stunning Christmas table vignette.
 Clea offered to help.
Ohhh, they are so pretty...
let's put them inside the birdcage.
Butterfly fairy lights are mesmerizing...


 And this is what they look like...
 What a pretty vignette.
It's still daylight,
so I can't wait to see them tonight!

On the table is the peekaboo heart candle... 
This is how you make one:

 The white birdcage is full of butterfly fairy lights...
and there is a large vintage jar 
full of berries and baubles in RED... 
And a gorgeous aroma of lavender from the candle jar.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!




Simple Burlap Tree Bows...

Christmas prep time continues, 
and today we're making some simple burlap tree bows.
Cut 17 inch (43cm) pieces of burlap ribbon.
(In New Zealand this is sold
 in the Gardening section at Bunnings as Jute Tree Tie).
Fold as this photo below shows...
(the blue paper is so you can see how much to overlap).
Pinch the centre together.
Tie with binding of your choice.
You may want to enlist a helper to tie the ribbon
if you find it tricky to do by yourself.
And that is it!
I made 20 simple burlap bows to decorate the Christmas Tree.
But you could use the bows to decorate
 a basket handle, a wreath or even a present.

Peek-a-boo Heart Jar Candle Holder...

Peek-a-boo Heart Jar Candle Holder...
using Christmas-themed music sheets,
a little ribbon and
a hint of lavender.
This is a sweet wee project for celebration decorating
 or to give as a gift.
Select a jar in the size you want.
.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the jar is heatproof
Print a music sheet -
or two if the jar is bigger than mine.
.
I used this one:

Using a Sharpie pen outline the heart in a central position on the music sheet.

 Cut it out.

Christmas Crafts
 Extend the music sheet to wrap around the jar if necessary 
by glueing another piece to it...

Christmas Crafts
 Glue onto the jar
 with the cutout heart centred at the front.

Christmas Crafts
 Add a few sparkles...
some dried lavender to the bottom of the jar...
and a ribbon or string bow.

Christmas Crafts
Finally, add a small candle or tealight.
Light and enjoy.
You'll smell the lavender as the jar warms up.
