You’re welcome. Honestly, not yet. The weather here as been on and off. It is trying to snow but have not reached in my area yet thank goodness. And other areas it is not sticking.
Now just think if you put a sauna in your living room and really steamed it up you could not only look at the beauty but eat it too! Uh is the paint edible?
My 11th graders loved the artsy craftsy things we did. Need a break from readin’, writin’ and tests. Plus it allowed me to put lots of A’s for all in my grade book.
I bet you can get your hands on anything and repurpose it beautifully. These are beautiful on an Italian tree or any tree. Thank you for sharing your little gift of magical creation.

I’d make one with cookies but by Christmas there would be no decorations left.

Since this is Miami and beach just 10 minutes from where I live, one with sea shells might have an enjoyable Key West kinda appeal.
