countdown to the holidays - part three of three

Here's one more way to countdown to the holidays and add a whimsical element to your holiday entertaining decor. 

Wedding planners and brides love our decorative trees for centrepieces all year round. But did you know that you can also use these trees for display purposes? We painted the base of a four foot tree black and added beach stones and a burlap striped ribbon to match to our rustic themed party decor.

Two inch square gift boxes were wrapped up with bands of kraft wood grain wrapping paper and tied up with red jute rope. We numbered all twenty-five boxes using blackboard stickers and chalk markers and fastened loops of plain baker's twine to the jute rope for hanging.

Stay tuned for more holiday gift wrapping and entertaining ideas!

If you missed our first two countdown ideas you can find them here and here.
