Plastic Balls

Balls

If you got balls, for goodness sakes use them!!

Lots & lots of plastic balls, I grabbed these up several years ago when we had an ice storm right before Christmas. It nearly crippled our city, not many after Christmas shoppers were out & about. I found these balls for .25 each, a garage sale waiting to happen at a retail store. So, I scooped them up,there must be something in the air but this was the year to bring them out of their dark, hiding spot and hang them out!

So, 20 feet of garland later, a bargain at $11 at our local midtown hardware store & wholah!!

A festive entrance for some good ol' holiday cheer! I remembered the balls after the fact of making the wreath, I thought that adding a little glittah, would get the holiday spirit going!

So, greens up, lights wrapped & some balls added it has a festive feel.

You never know where inspiration will come from, I was given the berries from my sis for the wreath & the balls just sort of happened. Funny story where the red ones came from, a silver tree given to me by my brother, it came from his work AKA Coors distributing a few years back.

I was about to pitch them this morning when the lightbulb went off & I thought that they were an exaggerated version of the berries in the wreath, so I turned the balls to the plain side of red & up they went on the garland.

I think the plain door would have been fine but the addition of the lighted garland pulls the whole entry together. Not a big color person when it comes to decor, but red, silver & natural greenery is so holiday. Keep your eyes open this year espescially before & after the holidays. You can find really great things that don't have to break ol' Santa!

A closer look at those big & smaller balls, white lights & natural greens. Total cost for this hanging of the greens? About $25

Getting into the holiday spirit?
