Simple, Seasonal: Salt Votives

in Hand Made, Seasonal, Simple with 18 Comments

As promised a couple of weeks ago when I told you guys I’d have some seriously simple, but wonderful decor ideas, here is one that may not even require a visit to the store.  A little rock salt, some tealights, and assorted drinking glasses can make you look like a holiday rockstar in no time flat.  Arrange the candles among small side tables in your house or down the center of a table grouped together for big impact.

It doesn’t get any simpler, but isn’t the outcome so pretty?  If you’re interested in previous ‘Simple, Seasonal’ posts here was the first!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Tuesday!

P.S. the eleventh merry day of the 24 Merry Days is going on today over at Design Crush!  Head over for a magical giveaway!
