Today’s beautiful modern Christmas decoration can be used year round with different embellishments. This modern faux-concrete ring decoration was sent in by the clever crafter at the blog A Crafty Mix. “No one believes me when I tell them we made this Christmas-themed ring light with cardboard. But once they see how easy it was they all want to make one too. It’s a great way to reuse throw-away stuff and turn it into something special for the festive season. The ring light can be used as table decor or hung as a wreath and the step-by-step tutorial will show you how to customize it to suit your decor style.”
