On the sixth day of Christmas
Beyond The Picket Fence gave to me
A ladder with berries and greenery.
This simple decor item started with a three rung "ladder" I made from 1x3's. I left the wood as is, including leaving a few white paint splatters.
I am not a floral arranging expert at all, but using some twigs and a green pine garland and red berries I "fluffed up" the ladder. Thrift stores are full of old Christmas decor right now--hit them on half price days to find cheap decor to repurpose like I did with the greenery and the berry wreath.
I wrapped floral wire around the twigs, berries and greens, working on one twig section at a time. I ended up with 4 sections that I wired together and then wired to the ladder.
I added a bow and some twine for a simple decor item that looks great on the fireplace or on a front door.
It is beautiful a!
