Raffia Bows

Our Christmas tree is a hodge podge of ornaments collected over the years & made at school. I love this because every ornament has a story & means something to us. Sometimes, I start to get envious of the glittery matching ornaments & ribbon wrapped trees. However, I still wanted to keep all the ornaments & memories. So we just tied bows out of raffia & it works great with my mom’s country house. This is a really inexpensive way (mere pennies) to fill in the holes or gaps in the tree, plus it lends continuity & you get to keep all your cute ornaments.
