Yeah, cute huh?
This was an easy one for me!
I just happened to have this lantern that I bought at Ikea several years ago. It is one of those things that I thought I couldn't live without, then found myself moving it from random place to random place throughout my house trying to decide what the heck to do with it! I also had all these extra decorations that don't fit on our tree, and the ribbon (believe it or not) I've been hoarding from my wedding leftovers 4 years ago.
I plopped the ornaments in the lantern, tied on a pretty bow and the other ornament, and done!
I think it took me longer to find the ornaments than it did for me to put together.
Here's what it looks like on my shelf, I'm pretty happy with it:
So that's that. Easy, and that's what I like! It's pretty screw-up-proof!
I have a ton of Christmas projects to complete, so until we meet again...
