DIY Ruffled Tree Skirt

If you need a new skirt for your tree this year take a look at this amazing ruffled one! This is a no-sew project but you will need a glue gun as well as some time and patience since it took Randa about six hours to put it together. It looks fabulous though and works out a lot less cheaper than buying something similar from the store. (via The Bewitchin’ Kitchen!)

DIY Snow Globe Necklace

Mini House Wreath Tutorial

I am totally in love with this wreath, it’s so snowy and those mini houses give it an almost magical vibe!
