The garland is the same one I have been making for weeks for our stairwell, so when you open the front door, you also see it inside.
I am just glad I took these pictures last week before we got this bad weather. Nothing like a little sunshine to make everything glitter!
Here is my Holiday copycat!
This was my inspiration picture
And this is what my front entrance looks like
I already had the tree from last year, so I just added a little bead garland, mesh ribbon and some poinsettias to make it look more festive.
And I added a little ribbon and ornaments to the pot for more color
I wrapped three boxes in pretty Christmas paper and tied them together with some red wired ribbon
And added a pretty poinsettia battery operated candle to my lantern.
I bought this wreath new last year, so I am using it again this Christmas. I think it goes well with all the colors on the garland.
I also made some new pillows for the bench and bought this cute snowman.
Isn't he adorable!!!
Here is the whole finished copycat!
Side by side
I hope you guys enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed getting ready for the block party.
