To create this month’s Idea Spot, begin with some existing holiday décor (the glittering metal snowman, tinsel trees, and faux snow) and created a “wintry scene” by placing our Snowflakes Theme Pack (#16867, part 1: Berry Red; part 2: Robin’s Egg) randomly on the wall to create just the right “feel.” Because this is a theme pack, remember to cut out the individual pieces and tack them up with painter’s tape. Step back and see if they “feel” like they are in the right spots. Move them around so that they fill the space evenly. When you are satisfied with where they are placed, mark each edge of the piece lightly with a pencil on both the transfer tape and the wall, then remove the backing paper and apply them.
You may only need one theme pack, but if the space is larger, I would recommend spacing them out a bit or even ordering an additional theme pack to make sure they don’t seem too sparse. Don’t forget to go back and erase the pencil marks!
We also needed to add a bit of “winter” to the bronze color of the lamp base. Using the idea from last month, snowflake embellishments we added—3 each of “Bold snowflake” (#4501902, Bright White; 2”) and “Simple Snowflake” (#4502002, Bright White; 2”)—and applied them in a random fashion. Be sure to order several different styles to coordinate so that the theme is complete.
By adding a few more details (mini wrapped gift boxes filled with tea lights and a small vase with candy canes), you are ready to greet guests with a delightful scene and help send them off with a smile. ‘Tis the season!
