Most everyone loves to decorate for the holidays. It gives you a chance to change up your decor and add a new twist during the month of December. Here are some fun and easy creative ideas to add some pizzazz to your home, especially great for entertaining.
Personalize Your Stemware - Use leftover ribbon to tie around the stems of your champagne flutes or wine glasses for an extra bit of festivity. Choosing a different color for every glass will help guests keep track of their drinks.
Create Memorable Place Settings - Attach personalized ornaments to a colorful ribbon, and tie around the napkin at each place setting. Fill clear glass orbs, available at craft stores, with glittery garland, pine needles, or special trinkets.
Cast the Perfect Glow - To create soft, flickering light for a mantel or a table in a dark corner, group inexpensive frosted-glass vases of different sizes, add tealights, and enjoy the glow.
Fill a Wreath with Wishes - Hang an unadorned twig wreath in a spot where guests can't miss it. Set out red magic markers and small white cards on a table next to it. Post a little sign asking visitors to scribble a greeting or a wish for the upcoming New Year, along with their names, and have them slip the notes into the wreath.
I hope that you get inspired by some of these ideas. If you try any of them, or come up with some of your own, please drop me a line and let me know what you did and how it turned out.
