At our latest Craft Club meeting, we made really nice winter-season decorations that we can leave on display after Christmas is past. These are outdoor decorations that are beautiful, yet very easy to make. If you would like to make an easy, low-cost craft, here are the directions. I used a white plastic hanging pot still filled with dirt that was leftover from my fall yard cleanup. You might want to do this craft in your garage, because it can get messy. First, dampen the soil with a little water. Then, prune some of your overgrown evergreens/holly bushes/pine branches/etc. Cut them to an appropriate length, based on the size of the container you are using. Arrange them attractively in the container, pushing them down into the soil. To make the planter prettier, add some red berries (artificial or real), pinecones, etc. for color and texture. Proudly display your new creation outside. Remember to water it occasionally.

Merry Christmas from Frolic Farm!
