Brown paper packages tied up with string...

While strolling my local Dollar Tree on Friday, a few items made their way home with me.

Supplies:

Gold flower ornaments (they came five to a package and are already glittered)
Tulle ribbon
Brown postal wrapping paper
Tape
Glue gun
*optional: miniature flowers, white glue and fine white glitter

The package of gold flowers were beautiful on their own, but I had a set of miniature flowers that were just begging for some glitter and glue so I hot glued them to the center of the flowers, brushed them with a bit of white glue and dusted them with fine white glitter.

The packages were then wrapped with the brown paper and the tulle ribbon was added with the gold flowers as the final touch. Be sure to act surprised when you see these Christmas afternoon, Mom!

We had a fabulous weekend in Chicago visiting friends.
More pictures to be posted Monday evening.
I promise to get caught up your blogs.
I've got a 3 day work week...yippee!!
