Holiday Mantel/ Diy: Cranberry Candles

Although I would consider myself a tad bit craftier than the general population, I am no Martha Stewart. I would say that the things I create are fairly simple and very easy to replicate; that’s the end goal. Most of the time, I get ideas from what I see around the web. Creativity should be contagious and it can’t spread from one person to the next unless it’s inspiring and easy.

This past weekend, I worked on a mini decor project with Zoey. We transformed our mantel into a holiday masterpiece. The main centerpiece was a collection of cranberry candles which we made in three easy steps. This project is extremely quick which is so perfect for the those who lack time or just plain ol’ lazy.

Can you imagine how holiday dinner affairs would be with these cranberry candles all lit up? Just glowy and heartwarming.

Below is our mantel deconstructed. Again, keep it simple!

And here’s me and my best friend. Because Zoey has declared one too many times, “Mommy, you are my best friend!”

Hope this post has motivated you to deck out your space for the holidays.

‘Til next time,
