Jennifer's DIY Christmas Wreath

I am so excited to share with you a super simple DIY Christmas Wreath! So many of you ask me where I get my wreaths and florals so I am thrilled to share with you that we have my favorite wreath in a bundle package you can purchase!  Everything you need to put this gorgeous wreath together is available here in our online store!

Dripping Cedar Wreath

Dripping-Cedar-Wreath

Let’s get started!  First of all- I am really picky about choosing my greenery!  I like for my wreaths to look real.  This wreath is called a Dripping Cedar Wreath– it is extremely full and you cannot tell it is not real!

DIY Christmas Wreath | Bells

DIY-Christmas-wreath

This wreath design is super simple and the wreath itself is so beautiful we really do not need to add a lot to it! 

I have chosen three little bells with a little bit of cedar on it.  So what we will do next is simply attach them to the wreath with wire! 

How to Make a Bow

DIY Christmas Wreath

The ribbon that will come with your DIY Christmas Wreath is some of my favorite!  So next we are going to make a bow to go on your wreath. It may seem like it’s hard but I promise making a bow is not too difficult at all! 

You can click the video below to see step by step how I made and attached this bow!

Fall Mantle Decor

Fall Mantle Decor

fall-mantle-decor-5

Hello!  It is one of my favorite times of the year- Fall!  I am going to show you how to take inexpensive fall garland and customize it to look expensive!  Let’s go through this fall mantle decor step-by-step!  AND, learn how to make a beautiful bow!  Let’s get started!

Spread Out Your Garland! |
Fall Mantle Decor

fall-garland-custom

First, you want to be sure you spread out your garland.  You want to spread it out as wide as it will go!  When I am putting garland on a mantle, I always put the end of the garland that has the loop in the middle and the pretty ends on the outside.  Next, I secure the garland. I take some floral wire and I wire it around the garland, and then around the nail.  

Adding Christmas Lights

fall-garland-custom

The next thing I am going to do is add some Christmas lights to the garland.  I think adding lights makes it SO homey!  

TIP:  When I am adding lights to a garland, I will add a little bit to one side, and I’ll stop, walk over to the other side and go ahead and add the lights on that side as well.  That way I know how much I have to weave into the garland!

Customizing Your Garland |
Fall Mantle Decor

Next is the fun part- customizing the garland!  I chose a burgundy boxwood that I thought would contrast into the garland really well!  I snipped small pieces and tucked it in and I also wired it them onto the garland.  Then, I added cotton to the garland.  I purchased the cotton on Amazon- check it out here! 

TIP:  When customizing your garland, always be sure to have something that is light in color, medium, and dark!  

Make a Bow

Finally- time to add the bow!  I actually found this gorgeous grey and white ribbon on Amazon!  It’s wired so it will keep its shape year after year!  I have linked it here for you! 

If you’d like to learn how to make a bow, I have a video here that will show you step by step!

Top Amazon Favorites

In this post, I am going to share with you some of my Top Amazon Favorites!  I have a few Amazon must-haves, Amazon home decor items, as well as a really cool inexpensive way to transform your kitchen or bathroom. I am also sharing with you a few beauty products that I use and love!  Take a look below!  

Home Decor Items | Top Amazon Favorites

top-amazon-favorites

First, I want to show you a few home decor items to warm up any space!  I added a textured soft throw to the chair.  Next, I added a really cute pillow.  I like to have texture in a design so this pillow is perfect!  

Next, my little table needed some work so I added another one of my favorite books and then added some greenery on top.  Love these items!  You can shop these items below!

Peel and Stick Tile

This is one of my favorite budget friendly DIY projects!  I actually first found it when touring a luxury home.  I noticed the beautiful subway tile in the mudroom and it was not until I touched it that I realized it was Peel and Stick!  We used it in Kayla’s kitchen and it turned out amazing!

Simple Easy Way to Style a Tray

top-amazon-favorites

Here’s a simple, easy way to style a tray for your coffee table or your kitchen!  All you need is a book that is one of your favorites, this one is mine, a simple wood bead tassel to lay on top, and of course add some greenery!

Laundry "Life Changing" Detergent!

top-amazon-finds

This is one of my absolute Top Amazon Favorites!  I first found this laundry detergent when I was at a client’s house.  We entered her bedroom and I could immediately smell this divine smell!  I asked her what it was and she said it was her laundry soap that she washes her towels and blankets with! I immediately purchased and absolutely love it!  The scent not only lasts but is beautiful and fills an entire room.  It is at the top of my list!

Tyler Laundry Soap

Easy Flower Arrangement

top-amazon-finds

For my next Top Amazon Favorite– I found this beautiful mercury glass vase.  I love to use mercury glass in a lot of designs because not only does it add a little bit of bling, but it is also a reflective item and lights up a room!

I love these Cherry Blossoms!  They come in a pack of four and are just beautiful.  I clipped them, spread the branches out a little bit and then placed them inside the mercury glass vase.  This is a gorgeous arrangement that would be perfect for a dining room, kitchen, or a guest bedroom! 

Holiday Candles | Top Amazon Favorites

One of the most important things in creating a cozy home is how it smells!  The holidays are right around the corner and I want to share with you my top two favorite candles!  We sell these in our store and we keep them burning all season long!  

The first one I want to share is called Simmered Cider.  It has a gorgeous, warm, soothing smell.  Fills an entire room with a lovely scent. 

My second very favorite is called Frasier Fir.  I have a lot of greenery in my house that looks very real, it’s not, but when I  burn the pine candle and have guests over, they wonder if my pine is real!  It smells AMAZING!

These two holiday candles are two of my favorite Top Amazon Favorites!

My Favorite Beauty Products

My next Top Amazon Favorites are my beauty products!  I get a lot of questions about my eyelashes, lipstick, and lip liner. 

For my eyelashes, I use  Rodan + Fields Lash Boost!  It is expensive, however, it lasts a long time!  I have had mine for about 7 months and still have plenty.  It is a liquid you apply along your lash line and I can honestly say I have noticed tremendous growth and thickness in my lashes!  

Next, I want to share my lipstick routine!

First, I start with my lipliner-  Maybelline Sensational Lip Liner- Gone Griege. 

Then, I use CoverGirl Fawn.  This is a matte lipstick that stays on very well and the color is just beautiful!

Lastly, I put on Mac Lip Glass- Cultured – this is not your typical lipgloss!  It stays on for a very long time- I absolutely love this stuff!

Top Amazon Favorites

I hope you love these Amazon finds as much as I do!  If you are looking for more accessorizing ideas, check out my post here or come follow me on Instagram!
