Instructions
  1. Start with a cone made from chicken wire (a square of chicken wire rolled into a cone, pinched together). Shape it with your fingers, scrunching and pulling it into the shape you want.

  2. Cut 4-inch squares of burlap.

  3. Starting at the top, poke the first piece of burlap through the top hole. Shape it into a point.

  4. Continue poking the squares through the holes as you make your way down the cone.

  5. On the bottom row, let the squares trail outward like slippers to give the tree a pretty finish.


Recipe Notes

Rustic placemat and plate-wrap
There are trends that deserve to be a flash in the pan and then there are trends that embrace a classic movement that has stood the test of time.
Mixing natural elements from the outdoors with touches of red and organic white in your place settings, may be the hot trend at the moment, but it is certainly also a time-honored tradition in parts of the world that spend their winters covered in snow.
Simple and inexpensive, these ideas will leave you with time to actually enjoy your Christmas Holiday.

Materials:
Dishtowels in ‘vintage white’ with a little stripe of red
Thin 1/4” ribbon - natural or vintage feel to it
Glue dots

Tools:
Scissors
Iron

Instructions:
1. Iron the dishtowel so that it has no creases.
2. Lay the towel down on the table as a placemat, letting 1/3 of it hang down over the table’s edge.
3. Wrap the plate in one strand of the ribbon, cut to fit the plate.
4. Attach the ribbon by tying a knot, under the plate.
A burlap candle centerpiece
Burlap … rough and heavy? Not always! This candle wrap, with the lightest touch of burlap, will have your holiday table glowing with the feel of nature brought indoors.
You may not be celebrating the season in a snowy cabin in the north, but you sure can warm up your decor and pretend you are.

Materials:
Large glass vase
Burlap lace ribbon
Short pillar candle, ivory or white
3 flat sprigs of cedar
Handful of red winter berries
Glue dots

Tools:
Scissors
Related on Yahoo Makers: A DIY Candle and Pearl Centerpiece: So Simple, So Glamorous

Instructions:
1. Lay the sprigs of cedar at the bottom of the vase, with stems facing center.
2. Place the pillar candle in the center, on top of stems.
3. Cut a length of burlap lace ribbon to fit around the top half of vase.
4. Stick a glue dot to the vase, at the height you want the ribbon.
5. Stick one end of ribbon to the glue dot, wrap the rest of ribbon around the vase, and attach it with one more glue dot at the end.
6. Trim ribbon with scissors so it meets the other end exactly flat.
7. Toss in a tiny handful of red berries, to achieve a delicate, natural look.

Instructions
  1. Pick your herbs and peel the outer layer of your citrus fruit, being mindful of only getting the colorful part and leaving the white pith on the fruit.

  2. Tightly pack your jars with the herbs and citrus of your choosing. You can make combinations or keep it simple.

  3. Pour the oil into the jar of herbs until it covers them and then seal the jar tightly.

  4. Place the jars in a single layer in your Crock Pot, cover them with water, cover the pot and place the temperature on low. Allow the jars to sit for 8 hours.

  5. Pull the jars out and let them cool completely. Then strain them into a container with a pouring spout.

  6. Pour the oils into pretty glass bottles, cork them and dip the tops in melted letter sealing wax. (Just place it in the bowl of a double boiler, and it will melt beautifully)

Instructions
  1. Scrub the copper with soap and water until it shines.

  2. Saw the copper pipe into three pieces: one 6-inch piece, one 3- to 4-inch piece, and one 5-inch piece.

  3. Attach the three pieces together with the right-angle copper elbow joints, using the 5-inch piece for the top and the 6-inch piece for the bottom. Tap with a hammer or mallet to make sure the pieces are well-connected.

  4. Add the copper cap to the bottom pipe and the coupling to the end of the top pipe.

  5. Hang the holder on the wall from the top pipe with the copper U-straps. The toilet paper roll slides over the bottom pipe.


Recipe Notes

Copper bud vase
There’s something so delicate and beautifully simple about a single bud vase. When that vase is copper, the effect is even more stunning.

Materials:
Copper stub-out tube
Copper female coupling that fits stub-out tube
Copper Milford tubing hanger
Tools:
Phillips screwdriver
Rigid object with a right angle (such as a kitchen counter or block of wood)
Instructions:
1. Fit the female copper coupling onto the top opening of the stub-out tube so that the strapping for the Milford hanger will fit.
2. Using a rigid surface with a right angle, bend the long hanger part of the Milford hanger into a right angle (to fit against the wall).
3. Attach the stub-out tube to the Milford hanger strapping, securing the screws tightly with a screwdriver.
4. Attach to the wall securely; add water and flower bud.
Copper foil leaf art
A framed piece of copper foil leaf art is a statement your home needs and wants!

Materials:
Copper foil leaf
Metal leaf adhesive sizing glue
2 small paintbrushes
Black card stock
Frame
Tools:
Scissors
Instructions:
1. Cut the card stock to fit your frame of choice.
2. Draw a design on the card stock with the sizing glue and let it sit for about five minutes.
3. Cut the copper foil leaves into strips.
4. When the sizing is tacky but not wet, place the copper foil strips face down over the sizing glue and rub the paper backing with your thumb to ensure the copper’s contact with the paper. Peel away the paper, leaving the copper stuck to the glue.
5. Continue this process until all of the glue is covered.
6. Gently brush away any excess copper with a very soft paintbrush until the design is the only thing left.
7. Place your new copper leaf art into the frame and display it in an area with light to bring out its reflection.

Copper-dipped drawer pulls
Turn a simple piece of furniture into something straight out of a high-end design boutique by adding a shimmer of copper to plain drawer pulls.

Materials:
Copper paint
Drawer pulls
Wire
Tools:
Paper cup cut into a shallow bowl
Wire snips
Instructions:
1. Pour some of the copper paint into the shallow paper cup.
2. Put the drawer pull’s screw into the hole in the pull and wrap a bit of wire around it so you can hang it to dry later.
3. Holding the drawer pull by the wire, dip it into the paint and roll it around, getting as much coverage as you would like. (Hint: We like to leave a bit of the original drawer pull showing; that way it has a “dipped” look.)
4. Hang it to dry so that the fresh paint isn’t touching anything.
Copper penny tray
We love a good resin project! This tray is a great way to display the simple beauty of the often-overlooked copper penny.

Materials:
Pennies
Tray
Resin-based “bar coating” or lacquer
Tools:
Plastic cup with measurements on side
Stir sticks with a flat edge
Instructions:
1. Lay pennies out on the tray the way you want them to be displayed.
2. Mix resin according to the manufacturer’s directions and pour it over the pennies.
3. Let the tray dry thoroughly.

Keep it simple and learn how to cook, garden, and decorate your home with Katie Brown.

No Flower Green Bouquet DIY

Usually a supporting character in a bouquet, the green element plays second fiddle to its vibrant, colorful, blooming counterparts. However, we think leaves and ferns deserve a little more credit than they’re given. There is so much to chose from - from Queen Anne’s Lace, to Maiden Hair Fern, to herbs of all sorts - greens are totally capable of being the stars of the show. This no flower bouquet DIY craft is just what you need.
