Many people don't think they are artistic. They associate art with drawing or painting. Decorating is as much an art as gardening and landscaping. It takes a certain something, something. Since the Mardi Gras season is upon those in New Orleans. I thought I'd share some secrets on what to do with those Mardi Gras trinkets. Some people leave up their Christmas trees and decorate them for every holiday. I've on occasion have decorated my christmas tree with white beads as garland. I also take the beads and instead of buying colored marbles or foam. I place beads inside a vase and then arrange artificial flowers. If the vase is clear then choose beads of the same color scheme as the room or use clear or white beads. I also have two large jars, one filled with purple, green and gold beads, the colors of Mardi Gras and the other filled with Dabloons from various Krewes. There you have it, another way to be creative and not spend a lot of money. The beads are free, you can get a vase for under $5.00 and a bushel of flowers for .88 cents at Wal Mart or Big Lots. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
