The First Day of Catmas

We at Life in Rehab are proud to present...

 

Wells the Cat
The Twelve Days of Catmas!

A dozen days of last minute projects so easy, your pets could do them!

So if you're stressed out and running behind, settle in with some 

non-fat pumpkin spice soy nog and get ready to dazzle your friends and family with some 

offerings that will astound and amaze!

Okay, maybe not, but you won't be showing up empty handed either.

Ready?

First, we're going to take those plain Dollar Tree wreaths at the top left and haul them outside.

 

 3 light coats of aqua spray paint later, we have a great base for a pair of really easy wreaths.

 

 Joanns has most of their Christmas stock on sale for 60% off, so the gorgeous peacocks were only $2 and the wired garland with silver beads came in at $2.79.

 

 Using wire edged ribbon, loop a 3' length through the wreath and tie a bow. I hung these on the french doors with 3M Command Hooks.

 

 

 Slide the garland through the ribbon and center the middle of it at the top of the wreath.

 

 Drape the ends across the bottom of the wreath so it's fuller there.

 

 Tuck in the hanging loops.

 

 With a small piece of wire, secure the garland to the center bottom.

 Hide the wire by clipping on a peacock.

 

 You're done.

 

 Simple and shimmery.

 

No hot glue needed, and it's almost fool proof, plus it took less than 15 minutes to make both of them, minus time for the paint to dry.

How easy is that?

And the pair of them were less than $12!
