This year I am going to try to not spend any money on new decorations for the Holidays apart from the one ornament we buy for our tree each year. This year my Christmas decor is going to be based around nature and seasonal items which will be sure to give our home a festive feel.
Pinecones are a cheap (free!) and rustic way to decorate your home for the holidays.
These pinecones look so festive placed in silver bowls, cups, and candlesticks and sprinkled with glitter.

Wrap silver or clear votive holders in blue velvet ribbon, and hot-glue mini frosted pinecones to the ribbon for a natural touch. Via BHG

I know this was posted awhile back so the link for the "Pine Cone Place Cards" doesn't work.... do you know where I could go to see how to make those? Thanks so much! Great ideas! Love your blog!
