6 Holiday Home Decorations You Didn’t Know You Had
Accent Pieces
Bring nature into your home this year to create a rustic and cozy feeling throughout. Use branches from your live Christmas tree or pinecones from your yard to use as candle wraps, gift wrappings, vase displays or even use as table settings.
Candlesticks
Bring some soft light into your home by putting multiple taper candles on display. Make your candles look extra fancy by fitting them into empty glass or wine bottles!
Christmas Ornaments
Invite an old fashioned holiday style into your home by upgrading your Christmas cookie cutters into DIY Christmas ornaments! Turn holiday cookie cutters into ornaments by covering one side of them with patterned wrapping paper. Next, just add an ornament hook and start trimming the tree!
Decorative Trees
Got some old music books collecting dust? Upgrade the sheet music by creating your own DIY paper trees to display. Sheet music can also double as a gorgeous placemat for your dining room table—extra points if it features holiday music!
Luminaries
No kitchen is fully stocked without a few mason jars, so we know you probably have a few laying around. This year add some mason jar décor to the exterior of your home by using them as outdoor luminaries. Just fill the mason jars with sand (to avoid a fire) and a candle. Next, line your sidewalk with the lights and enjoy walking in a winter wonderland!
Table Accents
Have an extra scarf or wool blanket collecting dust in the closet? Just fold it into a rectangle and use this cozy texture and pop of color as the perfect table runner!
