Okay, so it's probably not THAT crafty, but I'm not that crafty so I'm AWing it anyway.
I had cheap prelit wreaths from Bed, Bath and Beyond that we used in our windows last year, but the jerky mice in our old shed chewed through the wires. I cut the lights out and was going to hang them inside, but they were a really unattractive color of green. So I decided to put some flat white spray paint on them to make them look snow dusted, and I was surprised how nice they turned out. If you have old wreaths or garland you're considering pitching, this is a quick/easy/cheap way to salvage them!
These pics are from my Crapberry, so they aren't great (the green was much grosser than it looks in the before pic, and the second pic is a better representation of how the white looks than pic #1):
Re: AW: Christmas craftiness
that looks nice!! Very Pinterest of you
I saw this idea on Pinterest that I hope to do...we have wreaths that we used to hang up at our old house, but now we have more windows and I can't find these wreaths anymore, so they've just been sitting in the attic. I might put them to use this year!

I know! DH was calling me M-Stew.
I like the candle holder idea too!
Ohh, I was going to make mine for inside. I wanted to try to make a brown one. I'm a little skittish around hot glue guns though!
