Christmas Preparation: Decorations

download (2)

With Christmas just days away, you may be doing a lot of holiday entertaining.  Here are a few inexpensive and relatively easy decoration ideas you can do in an afternoon:

Create an Ornament Wreath.  All you need for this one is a styrofoam wreath and about 100 glass ball Christmas ornaments (you can get lots at the dollar store to keep costs low!).  Find the instructions for this simple & gorgeous creation here.

Candy Cane Vase.  Slide a thick and close-fitting rubber band over a cylindrical vase and slide candy canes between the vase and rubber band one by until the vase can no longer be seen.  Once the vase is fully covered, tie or hot glue a ribbon around it to hide the rubber band.  Fill the vase with a favorite flower, evergreen branches, or whatever your heart desires.  (See above photo.)

Decorate Your Kitchen.  Choose a thick, holiday inspired ribbon and “wrap” your kitchen cabinets by running the ribbon over the top and bottom and taping the ribbon to the insides of the cabinets.  This is a simple & elegant decorating idea that can fit any taste or budget!
