25 Days of Christmas: Day 5

Day 5: Glass Bottles

Today we are sharing some project ideas we created using Glass Bottles. We do sell glass bottles here at Crafts Direct for you to use when you are creating your projects - but you can always create these same projects using a recycled wine bottle. I think the Glass Bottle projects are perfect for a little kitchen counter decor and would also make a perfect hostess gift for any holiday parties you are attending!

You can find supply lists and project instructions for both projects by clicking on the project names below.

Day 4: Curly Geo Mesh Wreath

Of course you've seen our Geo Mesh Wreaths before - but have you seen this new version we have been creating? This new curly style is very popular and is a great way to use Geo Mesh in a new way - of course you can stick to the standard wreath ideas too (we have lots of ideas for them HERE and HERE) - but if you want to give the Curly Wreath a try you can find project instructions on our website by clicking the project name below.

Day 3: 8x8 Shadow Boxes

Shadow boxes are one of my favorite pieces to use when coming up with new project ideas. I love that you can easily add dimension to both your inside contents - to both the background elements and with what you add to the inside as a filler - as well as by adding pieces and elements to the front glass piece of the shadow box.

The 8x8 shadow boxes are great because they give you enough space to create some fun layouts, but aren't too overwhelming and can easily be added to a lot of different spaces. Below you will find a couple of the new projects we have created using the 8x8 shadow boxes.

Day 2: Christmas Wishes Paint Can

Today we have a quick and easy project to share that would be perfect for a teacher, neighbor, or anyone that you would like to send some Christmas Wishes! For this project we filled up the paint can with some of the white Sixlet Gumballs and embellished the outside with some paper, ribbon, a berry spray and of course the very fitting "Blowing Christmas Wishes Your Way" vinyl. You can find detailed project instructions for the paint can HERE.
