Christmas Swag DIY

atlanta-july-09-002-1The final, for a little while at least, do it yourself project from our Atlanta showroom is our Christmas swag.

This festive piece incorporates a little of everything: from traditional Christmas bulbs to artificial pine and berries, Blossom Bucket mini samplers to artificial snow, and more.

As with all of our projects and suggestions, this swag can be adjusted to fit any décor by simply switching out certain colors, selecting different Blossom Bucket items, and using more or less of each element.

For the ornaments and ribbon in this swag, we primarily used deep reds and burgundy tones to coordinate with the mini samplers, but kept the twinkle lights clear to keep the piece from becoming too dark.  We added red and green hued berries, along with pinecones, and additional cream berries.  We accented the entire swag first with spray-on snow, then a touch of spray-on glitter for extra shimmer. 

The most important thing (after safety, of course) with any project is to have fun!  Be creative; don’t be afraid to use bold or unusual colors if they suit your tastes.  Lastly, perfection is subjective: if you like it, then it’s perfect!

Have fun with your project, and have a happy holiday!

Don’t forget that larger photos of our completed projects can be viewed in the DIY album on our Facebook fan page!
