So easy and fun to make, these cones are a festive centerpiece for Christmas—or any occasion, for that matter! Try changing the colors of the glitter and the ribbon for a different look.

Snowflake Lanterns

Transform a strand of Christmas lights with only mini plastic cups and paper! That’s right—cups and paper! I used white plastic cups (the 3 oz. size) found in the paper products aisle at the grocery store. Depending on where you shop, they might also be called bathroom cups. I tested these lanterns with clear cups, but they didn’t diffuse the light when turned on. The lights inside the white cups illuminate the opaque plastic nicely, casting subtle shadows from the snowflakes. You cannot tell that these are cups once the lights are on!
Strands of lights usually come with 100 mini lights. You only need to cover about half of the lights with cups. You can also use these as a tealight holder—with flameless candles only!

Here’s a different spin on bunting! These circles add a playful twist to your party décor. Hang them alone or with other strands of bunting.

What’s not to love about bunting? It adds a festive flair to every occasion. Bunting is so versatile—it can be made from paper, felt, fabric—today I made it from burlap. Hang bunting as is, or decorate using stencils and paint, or whatever you like. Have fun!
Winter Branches

This is a very inexpensive, yet very impressive table arrangement. It is a nice arrangement for any winter-themed occasion—dinner parties, birthdays, showers, and of course, Christmas! I collected the branches from outside, but you could easily find similar branches at a craft store.
Song Birds

Sheet music + birds = song birds! These cute and simple ornaments could easily be made from any unwanted book, dictionary, map, etc. Feel free to explore and use whatever material you like. I found my sheet music in an old songbook at a yard sale. I love to rummage around thrift stores and yard sales because I never know what I might find. Plus, the prices can’t be beat!
Santa’s Felt Coasters

These coasters are great to give as a gift. Made from felt, they will last a long time and are washable! Have fun trying different designs with stamps, cutting decorative edges with rotary cutter, and embroidery floss. Make a holiday set with traditional Christmas colors, or if you are giving them as a gift, use colors that the recipient would love.
