EASY GARDEN WREATH
Spanish Moss
Hot Glue Gun
1 Small Piece of Garden Hose
Dried Flowers - Potpourri
Fasten Garden Hose into a circular shape with a string or twine. (Less accurate the more character) Use your hot glue gun to attach spanish moss to hose. Once dry, you can begin attaching potpourri, dried flowers or add miniature garden tools. - Contributed by Kari

PINECONE FIRESTARTERS WITH COLORFUL EMBERS:
- Gather up some wax from pieces of almost finished or broken candles and melt it in a double boiler.
- Using a string, carefully dip your pinecone into the wax and then dip it into a fine sawdust with a small amount of table salt mixed in.
- Once the wax has set, you can toss them into the fireplace when desired.
- These will produce lovely yellow embers for you to enjoy. (They make great content for a gift basket too!)
