1. Fill large vases with red cranberries to add a beautiful splash of Christmas red to any room. If you don’t have any vases, take 3 or more clear glass wine bottles or other household bottles and fill them with cranberries. You can even take it a step further and add flowers, twigs, or greenery with water.
2. Take red, white or green bath towels and stack three different sizes with coordinating ribbon, thus creating a “gift wrapped package.” Place on bath counters or tiered rack behind toilet bowl to dress up the guest bath.
3. Take household bottles (wine or juice) and simply spray-paint them holiday colors. Green, red and blue work well. Even just taking a dozen bottles, spraying them with silver paint and popping candles, flowers, or twigs in them is the simple and perfect accent for a dining table, fireplace mantel, or a long console table. It will look stunning and no one will even guess how you did it so simply!
4. Take clear vases or bottles, fill them with water, add holiday colored food coloring — a few drops will do — and float candles in them or just line several up in a row to add a simple, cool holiday accent!
5. Go branch hunting outside. Spray paint the branches in a silver or gold, pop them in a vase and voilà … elegant holiday decor. Take it a step further and dangle some ornaments on them or tie a few bows.
6. Take some hanging picture frames and simply frame some pretty holiday paper as artwork. Sometimes you can even find a nice greeting card worthy of being framed and hung.
7. Take a blank canvas and spray-paint it a solid holiday color! It is that simple. You could also stencil or stamp snowflakes, stars, etc, to add some holiday accent!
8. Glue beads or sequins onto Styrofoam balls to intermingle in a centerpiece or place on your mantle.
