Attach flat thumbtacks in rows around foam balls, then paint them or leave as is for easy, colourful decorations! Display them in a tall vase for a unique centrepiece, use them to add an elegant touch to your place settings or hang them from a chandelier for New Year’s Eve party décor.
Capture the spirit of this magical season in a repurposed jar by making your own snow globes! With a few basic materials, you can decorate them with delightful winter scenes or fill them with colourful beads and glitter. These eye-catching decorations will be memorable for years to come.
Show off your creativity and decorate your chairs beyond the typical bow. Our collection of ideas includes paper cones and filled ornaments brimming with festive treats and rustic natural or handmade pinecone clusters. It’s easy to make your chairs stand out all season long while also delighting your holiday guests.
Get those cards out of the mail stack and into your holiday décor. Whether they’re clipped to clothespins to make a wreath, tucked into a rustic shutter or hanging from twigs in a vase, we have a few ideas to put your loved ones’ greetings on display by crafting their cards into one-of-a-kind creations they’ll love to admire.
When you start with an empty ornament, the decorative possibilities are endless. Fill each with the material of your choice—we love traditional trimmings like berry sprigs and tinsel as well as unexpected items like feathers and pearls.
With a few easy folds, your ever-growing stack of cards can become something more. Combine colours, textures and patterns to create our fun, festive origami balls. Hang a few from the chandelier, make a garland or display them in a bowl on your table.
Bursting with whimsy, these hand-tied garlands add a festive touch to just about anything. Hang one on the tree, the mantel or give it as a special gift. Start by choosing your fabrics—the more colours, textures and patterns, the better!
Dress up your holiday table when you arrange gorgeous ribbons into a striped table runner. Work with ribbons in lots of different colours, or choose one, like red, and use several shades. It’s quick, easy and no sewing required.
Strike an extra sweet chord when you craft holiday cookie cutters into a hanging mobile. Strung from a simple embroidery hoop, the shapes jingle just like bells. Try giving one as a gift, paired with your favourite cookies and a recipe card.
