When craftiness and thriftiness collide!

My brief and not-really-very-helpful evergreen swag tutorial.
1. Start with several leftover evergreen boughs from when you trimmed the bottom of your Christmas tree. Tightly wire them all together at the branch end. Cost so far: free.2. Add some holly cut from your own backyard and wire into place. Cost so far: free.
3. Add some red plastic berries you just happened to find in your Christmas decorations box and have no use for by themselves. Wire into a group of three berries and then wire into place with the holly. Cost so far: free.4. Keep your toddler entertained with watercolor painting. You may have to paint a tree for him to add ornaments to. Cost so far: free.5. Add some gold jingle bells that you had yet to find a use for in decorating this year. Cost so far: free.
6. Frustrate yourself trying to follow the poor bow-making directions on the ribbon spool. [Use wired ribbon.] Decide to do it your own way and make a pretty-decent bow for the top. Curl the dangling ends of the ribbon. Cost for 1 spool of ribbon: $1.00 plus tax [in Washington].7. Create a hook with heavy-duty wire by making a loop and wrapping the ends around the top to secure. Cost so far: still only $1.00 plus tax.
8. Marvel in your own craftiness and thriftiness. Cost for step 8 alone: free.
9. Hang your creation on the front door. Total cost: $1.00 plus tax
10. Take a picture, making sure the toddler mentioned in step four is peaking out the front window!
