1. Create Candle Holders Out of Glass Bottles
Make beautiful holiday décor out of your empty wine or beverage bottles instead of throwing them away. Put some fresh cranberries in the bottles with the evergreens to add a splash of colour, and then fill with water. Place a taper candle in the bottle opening after rubbing sticky candle wax into the bottom of the candle. To maintain the fresh appearance of the greens, simply remember to change the water every few days.
2. Use Garlands Made of Pantry Items
To make a unique garland, use a needle and strong monofilament to weave leftover pantry items such as candy, popcorn, dried fruits, or bay leaves. Wrap pretzels and dried pasta in decorative ribbon for a surprising twist. After the holidays, throw away the ribbon or monofilament and place the pantry contents in a compost bin.
3. Transform Art into Gifts
Wrapping artwork in a large, lovely bow can be a cheap and easy way to disguise it for the holidays. Just cut a ribbon to the appropriate length, then wrap it around the frame like a present.
4. adorn Your personal wreath
Add layers of dried and fake flowers and foliage to a pine wreath to make it look better. Just arrange the bundles in the direction of the evergreens on your wreath, then secure with wire. Hide any visible wires by overlaid bundles, and don't forget to embellish with a decorative ribbon bow.
5. Put on a Christmas Village Display
Instead of putting your china away for the season, display your holiday village with wooden Christmas trees, ceramic white houses, and new garlands. Becky Shea, a designer, suggests: "Incorporate garland on surfaces such as window sills, cabinets, tabletop centrepieces, none of which require you to drill for support and can be easily taken down."
6. Attach a bow to everything.
Your holiday table will look more festive if you quickly tie a bow on a bundle of cutlery, candle holders and stemmed glassware. A smooth ribbon with a hue reminiscent of a jewel can make a big difference.
7. Santa Claus Ball Wreath
An excellent, allergy- and shed-friendly substitute for conventional winter greenery are ornamental wreaths. This one is a tribute to Santa, the big man of Christmas, by MK Creations! This red wreath becomes instantly identifiable with the addition of a simple paper belt.
8. Fairy Light Garlands
Christmas string lights are not just for decorating trees. For a warm atmosphere, hang them everywhere. Decorate the cords with festive and shimmering paper embellishments.
9. Kit for Balloon Arch
This Christmas, make an all-star balloon arch and be the talk of the neighbourhood. Your house will look stunning for the holidays whether you use it to greet guests to your yearly celebration or just leave it up for weeks on end.
10. Mobile Frame with Christmas Tree
You have the opportunity to recreate the widely popular Kelly Wearstler floating Christmas tree this year without getting entangled in fishing line and ornaments. All you need to do is hang your treasured ornaments from a convenient frame that is mounted to the ceiling, thanks to one Etsy seller.
