Red is my friend, right? {4 & 5/12 Christmas Crafts}

Last Christmas, I avoided red. Like the plague.
I had golds and bronzes and burnt oranges... but no reds.

Then I got bit by the red bug {which may or may not be related to the bed bug} - and now I am in lurve.

 

See for yourself.

Eeks. I don't know what happened. And I guess it would be red and white and black, really. Let me share with you what I do know.

1) My zebra lampshade that normally sits in my very green office. Repurpose (Free!)
2) Framed Art. Yeah right. Try dollar store frames with dollar store gift bags. I just cut out the cuteness and added it to the frame. Easy peasy. $4 total (for the trees and the penguin)
3) Candle stick was a Goodwill find, bought it for Halloween. Repurpose (Free!)
4) More Styrofoam and pipe cleaner trees. All on hand. (Free!)
5) Berry branches - $1 each at Hobby Lobby $3
6) A red pot from years and years ago, turned upside down lengthen the lamp. Repurposed (Free!)
7) Glass jar from the dollar store filled with red Styrofoam berries from the dollar store. The twigs I got from Hobby Lobby. $4 total.
8) Walgreens trees $1 in a candle I already had.

  With so much going on, I am going to count this as Craft #'s 4 and 5. I am the Queen, after all.

Well, what do you think?! I know I am going to have a lot going on in the house, but I can't help it. I am having so much fun!!

Off to see where else I can add some red.
