Your Fireplace - Sans Fire!
2 Materials
Unless you live with Santa in the North Pole, I'm guessing your fireplace in the summer is like mine - nothing but a boring dust collector.
I'm gonna show you how to make it fabulous in hot weather without the flames!

Fill your fireplace with wood as if you're getting ready to start a fire. Make sure to get pretty wood.
Now you get to spend the next three hours untangling the mess. Sorry.
Next comes the groady part of the project. You WILL get covered in soot, but you will also make new friends. Dust bunnies, spiders and other creepy crawlies love those kind of hiding places. Its too bad the dust bunnies won't eat the spiders. They don't even pay rent to live in your fireplace. You'd think its the least they could do.
Confession: I actually did this as part of my Christmas decorating, not for summer. We weren't using the fireplace and it seemed like a great way to add lights to my winter wonderland.
So there you have it! I hope you enjoy making your fireplace fabulous without fire!

I don’t think I have an outlet anywhere near my fireplace but since the hubby decided to put the outlandishly large tv above our fireplace I can’t have a real fire. Maybe battery operated fairy lights? Got me thinking. Great idea.

I do this but also use the flickering candle lights and it really looks like a fire is burning in there.
