Christmas Decor on a Budget

If you still remember the candles that I bought from a yard sale, the here's the continuation. I am not really good in decorating so I created, recreated, then change it again a bunch of times lol..

I used these marbles that  we bought in store and  put it inside the gree bottles which I find in the attic.
I tried to put the candle holders on top of the bottle which by the way  has holes under them and makes it perfect to slide them  on top of the bottles. 
However, hubby said that they looked like angels with wings in front and that they are very tall.  So I tried to remove the red ribbons but they still look hideous lol.  Here's how the bottles looked like at first.  The statue of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus was also bought for a buck at the yard sale where I bought the candles.
I put the two statues in front of the candles but still didn't looked right.
So I then changed it again and settled for this one.  I wrapped around the leaves that I originally  wrapped the bottles into the candle holders.  Then I put Holly in the middle, put the bottles on the other side.  I plan to  buy some small candles to stick in the bottles. 
The Santa with gifts cost $.50, so cheap isn't it?  I bought it in a garage sale long time ago.  The other Santa is a musical one, Dad gave that to the kids.   Thanks to  Mel of Love Home Grown Garden for giving Rylie one of her doll collection (Holly). So there's my decorations that costs $7 only.

Below is a parenting tip from parents.com.

We’ve got creative crafts that do double-duty, such as this gift wrap made of full-sheet label paper. Pick your favorite project and set aside some time this weekend!

  8. Hi Rose, Your Christmas decorations are awesome! You remind me that I should decorate our house too. Waaa. I don't know if we are going to have the real tree this year, the spruce tree at the back of our kitchen has lots of snow in it. 20 degrees F and temperature, brrrrrr. I'm glad to see Holly. :) Xoxoxo
