Mrs. Claus has a lot of treats to make between now and Christmas. My family has a list of their favorites that I have to make every year!! 

I'm planning to share a "family favorite" recipe each day in my stories.

HOW TO ADD GOURDS INTO YOUR CHRISTMAS DECOR 🌿 HOW TO ADD GOURDS INTO YOUR CHRISTMAS DECOR 🌿

I love using natural elements in my decor. Christmas is no exception! 🙌

Why put the gourds away with the Fall decor when you can just incorporate them into your Christmas decor? 🤗

Here are 5 ways to add DRIED GOURDS to your Christmas decor. 

1. As an ornament 

2. Part of a potpourri mix

3.Tucked into a basket 

4. As a door hanger 

5. As a bowl filler 

👉Other ways to use your dried gourds... As a garland, as a display piece under a cloche, tucked into a cubby, painted or carved, or gathered inside of a clear glass jar. 

Dried gourds make beautiful decor because of their naturally unique shapes, varied colors, and textures. 

Would you try using dried gourds in your Christmas decor?
