Using Natures Own For Decorations, While Going Green

By Ana

Using Natures Own For Decorations, While Going Green - mini pumpkin gourd, pinecones, apples, greenery and a candleI love creating decorations from items that are free! Not only is it free, it smells nice, adds earthy freshness, and can be changed out and composted, eaten, or dried for arrangements. With apples from the tree, pine cones, and my favorite magnolia leaves, all of earth's freshness, can go back to the earth.
