I may use this next year, since I got a deal on clear twinkle lights after Christmas, 200 lights for 50 cents a box! I never knew I could make anything until my boss left and I took his place and found out I had not one but 18 gift to buy at Christmas for my drivers. I had 2 teens, a mother who I was helping buying her meds, a dh who was on the road and had to keep an appartment in the next state and I wouldn't get my raise until after the new year! I had a friend who had a sawmill and he sawed me some slabs in half, I used my dh hot glue gun, and he drilled the holes for the candles I got 4 for a dollar, and I got the plastic garland and a bag of cedar chips. I put the candles in the holes and hot glued them, put the garland around them, forming it into loops and put the cedar chips under it to hold it up and sprayed some spice spray on them. I also had to sand them before I started, carried blisters until the middle of January, ha. No one told me to get me a cold glass of water to dip hot fingers dripping with glue into, now I have graduated to wire, floral pins, wreaths, swags made from vine on our property and florals from the discount stores. Keep the ideas coming as soon as you are settled with your family! Your mantal was beautiful and loved the “tree”.
