I've started a little holiday DIY! So here we go:
Inspiration:
Actuality: 
Super easy...and took about 2 seconds, including the fluffing of the bow. Got 10 yards of red ribbon for $5 and the pinecone sticks for $.25 each at Michaels. Easy, cheap, and festive...can't get much better than that!
Inspiration: Actuality:
This project was a much bigger undertaking than I expected! The tutorial I followed used a 6 inch wreath and about 2-3 boxes of tacks. I used a 14 inch wreath and 9 whole boxes of tacks...and I could've used 1 more! I got the styrofoam wreath at Michaels for about $5, then the dollar store has 300 tacks in a box for $1. 
I had to go back to the store a few times...for some reason i thought four boxes would be enough and it barely made it halfway!! I had just finished the wreath and I was so excited to hang it, when I dropped it and it broke!! I was so tired and mad i just left it on the floor until the next afternoon.
I ducted taped it back together and while it doesn't look perfect, i fixed it pretty well.
It was SO heavy (go pick up 2,700 tacks and you'll see what I mean), so I took a large ribbon (same ribbon on the chairs!!) and the only way I could figure out how to get it to stay was to nail it to the top of the door! Overall, I love it.
Now we're onto glitter candles, body scrubs, picture frames, and a stocking hanger!
