Oh, it's only July but we all know the early bird gets the worm. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I'm always on the lookout for all things Christmas wherever I go.
So today I want to share with you how this Santa wreath came together. The Santa is what I call a good Santa. You know for me a good Santa is like the old Coca Cola Santa on their advertisements from the 1950s. He looks joyful and excited getting ready to bring all the kids their presents. I found this Santa at the Goodwill "dump." I also found the red/green/gold deco mesh wreath already made there too. You can see from the picture it had some ribbon half on half off so I removed it and fluffed the mesh a little.
The Santa was supposed to be lighted but I took the wiring off of it. Next I found some little green zip ties from another project as well as the roll of green florist wire. I used the wire to wrap it around the wreaths metal frame to hold the Santa in place. I punched some holes in the back and tied three of those little zips ties through them. I put the ties on there so I could have something to hold the florist wire. Next I pulled the florist wire to the back of the wreath and tied it to hold the good ole' Santa.
Yay!! Now we have a new creation from two old things. Besides that... how cute is the Santa wreath! Listen ...truly Thrifty Sissy did a bug on this wreath. The total cost... $.98.....Santa $.50 and wreath $.48. Oh my word!! What a deal!!!
I hope this has stirred your Christmas spirit up. Even though the real Christmas is still a few months off it's never too early or too late to get in the "Thrifty" mood!! I hope your week is filled with joy and peace. Remember to keep your "thrifty" on!!!!
