Glass prisms make a wonderful addition to holiday decorating. Hang them from the tree or the chandelier for a sparkling touch. To make a unique holiday picture, use spray adhesive to attach a vintage holiday postcard to a piece of cardboard. Punch holes to attach ribbon for a seasonal wall hanging. Fireplace doesn't work? Fill it with candles! Use candles of varying heights and widths and place on other objects to vary height. Candles in unusual holders (make sure they are stable and fireproof) add a romantic touch to the holiday. Look for chipped crystal at tag sales, add a votive or taper attached with sticky wax and you have a beautiful addition to your décor. Unsure of just what gift to bring to your party hostess? How about mixing 3 cloves peeled garlic with 1 cup fresh herb springs (basil, oregano or rosemary work well) add 3 cups heated white or cider vinegar in a decorative bottle. Seal the bottle with a cork, keep it in a cool, dark spot for 2 weeks, add a pretty bow and you're set! Look around your home for unusual tree decorations. Teacups, sugar bowls and creamers make beautiful ornaments, especially for the tree in the dining room. Small kitchen utensils (cookie cutters, whisks, even cinnamon sticks) look great on that tree in the kitchen And silver pieces such as baby cups or silverware look great on any tree. Take you and your family back to simpler time by decorating with fruit and nuts. Displaying fruit in unusual containers or crystal bowls is a nice touch. Or how about a bowl of walnuts with a unique nutcracker?And remember, anything can be turned into a special decoration with a little imagination and perhaps a bow or two! |
