Red And White Dining Style

I think I'm finished decorating the dining room for the holidays now. The last project was a red and white wreath.

To make room for the tree and everything, I put the table up against the French door.

I won the black and white dish towel in a giveaway last week. And the cute tote below.

Red and white is just such a cheerful color combination. And a little green added for Christmas.

Here's the bird cage in the other corner. I've taken to thinking of it as "my jail full of Santas!"

Here's how I made the wreath:

I recently did one in whites and creams. Once again, I didn't even take off the plastic wrapping.

This is the same polka dotted fabric I had left over from when I recovered the chairs in my garden room. I ripped 3-4 inch sections of it. And started tightly wrapping it around my wreath.

Every few inches, I'd put a little hot glue along the wreath to glue the fabric on. When you run out of your length of fabric, just start with another torn strip.

Then I got out my stash of red and white trims.

My base was a handkerchief.

Hot glue your choice of trims onto the wreath.

I wanted a flower, but I couldn't seem to decide how to make it. Finally I just cut "petals" out of felt and hot-glued them to a circle of cardstock.

I took a length of lace and "scrunched" it up a little at a time and used hot glue to adhere it. Then I put a button in the middle to cover that spot.
