DIY Holiday Decor


I know this isn't exactly massage related but I loved this creation that my talented Mother and business partner Beverly made so much I just had to share! Come see it in person at the clinic over the holidays more info at SwanseaRMT.ca 

Time to make: several hours (depends on how big you make it!)

Materials: 4 large coloured Christmas balls (these are Martha Stewart)
                15 empty glass ornaments (can get at a craft store)
                 Peacock feathers
                 Silver ribbon 
                 Clear fishing line
                 S hook 

Preparation: Fill the empty glass ornaments with the peacock feathers and ribbons (or anything else you like). Tie a long piece of fishing line to each ornament. 

The tricky part: Hang the S hook up and start tying the ornaments to it so that they fall at different lengths. My Mom somehow managed to get the clear ornaments to spiral around the coloured ornaments which is not an easy thing to do! We got our handyman to install a hook in the ceiling above the stairs at the clinic earlier in the week and hung it from that. One of the first clients to see it was amazed we made it ourselves and wanted to buy one! This is a great entrance statement piece.
