Next, Sunday, November 23, is my downline meeting.  My DIVA’s select a different swap each month to share with each other.  They selected Decor Elements or Rub-on’s.  I decided to make my project late one night.  First, I’m going to show you what NOT to do with your Decor Elements.   Don’t get so freakin’ excited to get the project done, that you put the Decor Elements on c-r-o-o-k-e-d!  Ugh!  I found this antique bottle at a junk store and thought it would be perfect with the "jingle all the way".  Put some 1/2" Striped Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon around the neck.  I attached a retired chipboard snowflake covered with Real Red ink and Clear Embossing Powder.  You only get one chance with Decor Elements.  Take my advice:  slow down and take a deep breath before attaching it to a smooth surface. 

So now as it is getting closer to the downline meeting, I have to find something else in this house to use.  I found this cute jar in the back of my cupboard that I must have found garage saleing.  No extra Decor Elements laying around, so I decided to use the small flowers from the Chateau Bella rub-on’s.   Tied some 1/2" Striped Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon and 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon to the top.   I must have color coordinating candy and found these Starbursts.  Super simple to make.  The little flowers look like snowflakes right now.  All I need to do is change the ribbon colors and different candy and the jar will work all year round!
