A Recycled Christmas

What's not to love about Christmas?  Between the glowing fairy lights, a midnight dinner with the whole Gabriel clan, and the excitement of buying and (more so ;) opening presents?  C'mon now!

This year, I have taken it upon myself to take the DIY route when decorating for Christmas.  Firstly, because we have way too many decorations as it is, secondly I need to save $$ and thirdly, well it's always more fun creating things yourself ain't it?

Take a sneak peak of what I - with the help of my siblings - have created below.  I suppose it's not your usual glitter and tinsel kind of Christmas but that's exactly what we were going for.   Now, I can't exactly take credit for all these ideas; I have been trawling through the Etsy newsletter everytime it hits my inbox for inspiration but I have tweaked some of these a la Gabriel!

Yay or nay?

Who knew you could do so many things with empty coffee jars?

This took a lot of work but how awesome did it turn out?

This was way too easy to make!

I'm bringing DIY Christmas cards back :)
