Now that you’ve ordered all your gifts, you can focus on the holiday projects. Sure, you’ve Instagrammed your masterpiece DIY holiday wreath and your neighbors keep asking where they can buy one, natch. Now it’s time to scale it down in size… miniature, to be exact.

1. Mini Wreath Holiday Cards: Head to your backyard or neighborhood nursery and grab a few sprigs of boxwood, rosemary, myrtle or seeded eucalyptus to wire these handmade (and handwritten) holiday cards together. If you’re planning a winter wedding, these would make gorgeous natural escort cards. (via Frolic Blog)
2. Mini Pinecone Wreath Placeholders: Here’s another easy project for urban foragers. Simply hot glue mini pine cones onto a circle of jewelry wire, layer on a strip of cardstock with your guests’ names in calligraphy or a printed fancy font. You could add a piece of thread or ribbon at the top to make this place card a take-home ornament. (via Oh So Beautiful Paper)
