I like adding accents like ribbon to make basic decoration items stand out more. My mom gave me these beautiful glass hurricanes but I felt they needed a little something to help them tie in with my bookshelf decoration.
I bought some little white accent rocks from the Dollar Tree (and I'm getting another bag next time I go so I can add more!). They are adorable, a little sparkly and ONLY a $1!! Can't beat that. I added them to the bottom and then used my favorite striped ribbon from the Recollections line at Michael's.
All you need is some scissors and a glue gun. I cut the ribbon into strips that fit around the top of the hurricanes, with a little extra overlapping to put the glue. I wrapped them around, glued the ribbon, and voila! A little added character to an otherwise basic piece of decoration. And the best part is the ribbon is easily removed or changed for a different look.
Super easy & inexpensive! My favorite kind of DIY project.
