In the fall, when you'll be spending more time indoors, it's important to carve out a corner for yourself. Maybe it's a tabletop in the corner of your living room or in your bedroom. Fill a bulletin board with images of things you love: photos and mementos from trips, ticket stubs from a great show, cherished letters. Small collections of shells, rocks, and candles are simple things that are good for your soul.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Stephen Saint-Onge, New York City.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRkyw1N5Se-r3SoEYULg15AlYvxMfuCFkPCjPon24nKe8T8bwn_v5ZUOBC7ZZ9j36cmatQjURS_s9AAUSdnekpbW82wO65x7Azg-wa8eKx58Xx1OuZ5dLXR_slKOPkWXcaGRw1o3R/s1600/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRkyw1N5Se-r3SoEYULg15AlYvxMfuCFkPCjPon24nKe8T8bwn_v5ZUOBC7ZZ9j36cmatQjURS_s9AAUSdnekpbW82wO65x7Azg-wa8eKx58Xx1OuZ5dLXR_slKOPkWXcaGRw1o3R/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add a Layer of Texture</span> </b></span></div><br />Anything with texture adds dimension.

The fabric softens the room and adds glamour.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUO2wB9hxTISFij8IMIoLfBSBi-mUPo_klFfzcIBRDIiSgj63mNuwV9iK2luBahY-Y3q_uPJ1noJCZxQevvc5t8FU2VQpmQs2bJr7jwwPmOFwT4mFzYqtmTEf2jwF43Q9xWS3E8cv/s1600/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUO2wB9hxTISFij8IMIoLfBSBi-mUPo_klFfzcIBRDIiSgj63mNuwV9iK2luBahY-Y3q_uPJ1noJCZxQevvc5t8FU2VQpmQs2bJr7jwwPmOFwT4mFzYqtmTEf2jwF43Q9xWS3E8cv/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Think Accessories</span> </b></span></div><br />It's all in the accessories. If a room is empty, it's going to feel cold and unwelcoming. Style every table with personalized vignettes: Choose a few special items, keeping in mind that contrasts in shape and texture work best. I always look for funky, slightly off-the-wall pieces at antiques stores and flea markets.

Now her favorite supplies are out of drawers and off of surfaces yet still within easy reach. Baskets, bins, canisters, and magnetic strips provide perfect homes for ribbons, stamps, paper punches, embellishments, beads, and other art essentials.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZuHQGTfdAsv3_JPOMy51NPUUfjIdc3LdGRzWeRDWVbdrHRa7Wkp0BbsjnR7QWPtd6JEOR2JFgBEq2EothXCSHFg3Zel96l2ooC-HcCaOY7jaLspyZd0eJoYNNIRc8DMaNXG7zx7a7/s1600/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZuHQGTfdAsv3_JPOMy51NPUUfjIdc3LdGRzWeRDWVbdrHRa7Wkp0BbsjnR7QWPtd6JEOR2JFgBEq2EothXCSHFg3Zel96l2ooC-HcCaOY7jaLspyZd0eJoYNNIRc8DMaNXG7zx7a7/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clear Solution</span> </b></span></div><br />These canisters are meant for the kitchen, but the homeowner/designer uses them to stash art supplies.

But she didn't want to sacrifice privacy. So she had a plastics store cut these 12-inch panels of plexiglass and drill holes into the top and bottom of each piece. For color and fun, she affixed vellum and scrapbook paper to the back of each piece. Finally, she connected the panels with binder rings to create this completely unique window treatment.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPk4bicpRXoF4FlH33M8RVCIuRibUvsow-fSiiJVDQcgIzQOQYQbpiFgegoqpdYKww-zTjKX4_0QrK8YTm6Ypf7pGqbJ_bMqDhn4AWJty1XeOkAdOsRE2xN-9uoX6CnTQMKl5H6xf/s1600/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPk4bicpRXoF4FlH33M8RVCIuRibUvsow-fSiiJVDQcgIzQOQYQbpiFgegoqpdYKww-zTjKX4_0QrK8YTm6Ypf7pGqbJ_bMqDhn4AWJty1XeOkAdOsRE2xN-9uoX6CnTQMKl5H6xf/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Color Cues</span></b></span></div><br />Mixing and matching vibrant color comes naturally to the homeowner/designer. For her work space, she chose a palette designed to inspire creativity. Two bright shades of orange coat the far wall panels, while lime green accentuates the adjacent wall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5UxaR5GDjOA4J-3Nv4TyYkdR9KNfRDuMbyNW68oUNFzOmLPdWWcFlhKJDRQCbErSlWWOwTLR4Gx9mWLWbkSrMtYtbp5qcVMPIQybYf4R6PZihfzJXmiQEaUYyB2xRW_in_YqX6YLd/s1600/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5UxaR5GDjOA4J-3Nv4TyYkdR9KNfRDuMbyNW68oUNFzOmLPdWWcFlhKJDRQCbErSlWWOwTLR4Gx9mWLWbkSrMtYtbp5qcVMPIQybYf4R6PZihfzJXmiQEaUYyB2xRW_in_YqX6YLd/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Orange Blossom</span> </b></span></div><br />Mod, graphic flowers bring the palette to life. The homeowner/designer first hand-drew the floral design on a transparency sheet, then used a projector to enlarge the image onto the wall. She drew the design on the wall in pencil, then covered it in a coat of light orange.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKpuMkvjT4epXk8FpQqPw7HbLXNXgolJy9Fmktcze-rwYtYxM2ovE4hgNY8AlD-Axc0hmt8_KS9TwXCoq4TZjhiqV0iEzt0kpN_b1vSyLNAmF6EQYX8GT6kafZGsmY3kl-eyZl2bd2/s1600/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKpuMkvjT4epXk8FpQqPw7HbLXNXgolJy9Fmktcze-rwYtYxM2ovE4hgNY8AlD-Axc0hmt8_KS9TwXCoq4TZjhiqV0iEzt0kpN_b1vSyLNAmF6EQYX8GT6kafZGsmY3kl-eyZl2bd2/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Barstool Style</span></b></span></div><br />To dress up plain stools, the homeowner/designer sewed custom skirts.

First, she and her husband found three unfinished wood cabinets. They added molding to give the pieces architectural interest, then painted them in their favorite orange hues. She used frosted window film to create the diamond designs on the glass cabinet doors. Pretty curtains suspended from tension rods give the cabinets a soft look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuooiHxjPvm1pTt9EaPqo9aF1acNlum9VEiGZQutsLHf0xZS4T09djQ6GAQzx8N_pFEP9rBJyiTIKlBAJjleaV7yZiMVBCpKtWjGui2-qTSGvMRilggrFZZ-9iqXu2akf9lXnWXK59/s1600/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuooiHxjPvm1pTt9EaPqo9aF1acNlum9VEiGZQutsLHf0xZS4T09djQ6GAQzx8N_pFEP9rBJyiTIKlBAJjleaV7yZiMVBCpKtWjGui2-qTSGvMRilggrFZZ-9iqXu2akf9lXnWXK59/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="heading2">Store More</span></span></b></div><br />Picking up on the floral theme from her DIY window treatment, the homeowner/designer used scrapbook papers to perk up plain white magazine files.

Fill the bottom with sea salt (a stand-in for snow) and arrange a scene with small ornaments, pine branches, and old photographs or cards.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQH8XoAGZ746eLHuR2vdTf1-RarBDEs-XuHsJpzfuaKwgCrAIeUtpDXuExNox4s9OX0wSNSjdOtOH9ETRPPENwltu_Ae-SXMD6f8cn8JFCYY71rFrdzZbI5oGvu59e_ENmgyu5kd2t/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQH8XoAGZ746eLHuR2vdTf1-RarBDEs-XuHsJpzfuaKwgCrAIeUtpDXuExNox4s9OX0wSNSjdOtOH9ETRPPENwltu_Ae-SXMD6f8cn8JFCYY71rFrdzZbI5oGvu59e_ENmgyu5kd2t/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Holiday Flowers Table Centerpiece</span></b></span></div><br />Sometimes the simplest flower arrangements can add the perfect amount of holiday cheer to a table. Arrange bright red roses in a tall vase and complement the centerpiece with leftover glittery ornaments in various sizes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8wL9nqSKIKrTgMbtNTcYZ1hCobT0dRVjB6Z4gDrSE66RDFKnKEL1hZdxUYLmFkvQXs24UhE9huQwjGIOa7s-tNEfBQhY89ulApH0dlZBGbrOxL07NUYqJ-YKnb4XUqu3R29mQAPJ/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8wL9nqSKIKrTgMbtNTcYZ1hCobT0dRVjB6Z4gDrSE66RDFKnKEL1hZdxUYLmFkvQXs24UhE9huQwjGIOa7s-tNEfBQhY89ulApH0dlZBGbrOxL07NUYqJ-YKnb4XUqu3R29mQAPJ/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Wrapped Gift Boxes Display</span></b></span></div><br />Pretty wrapped boxes -- even if they're empty -- can play up a distinctive holiday color scheme. Here, an unexpected combination of gold, cream, and chartreuse provides a vivid pop of color both on and under a bench. In place of bows, wrap a few loops of ribbon around the boxes and stick in a cedar sprig or two.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieIxpjCs97eWFB4sfcxZF38ULI7rWRWl8bLmbQBers6WQBcfzX2W8cPotjQxcKnnJk0yTLJOZz5cwt-gBCvVde5Ue_gby3mVIZKxPRr4JUqHBUVeqq9i0qxVKDtMy1rXvEVNzFcasf/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieIxpjCs97eWFB4sfcxZF38ULI7rWRWl8bLmbQBers6WQBcfzX2W8cPotjQxcKnnJk0yTLJOZz5cwt-gBCvVde5Ue_gby3mVIZKxPRr4JUqHBUVeqq9i0qxVKDtMy1rXvEVNzFcasf/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Ornaments-and-Ribbon Headboard Accent</span> </b></span></div><br />A wall, a headboard, and a door are all great spots for this simple-as-can-be idea. Sew a single ornament to the end of a length of ribbon, then loop around a hook or headboard and hold in place with strong tape. To create a diminutive bedside tree, wire together full branches and prop in florist's foam.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis6-y25lhciIi9d2WNwcDsYkN2yTX5BYpaDDBxuz_hMd1lprKIkg-lOcdMZlVEBlWlCZwZfrX8Tiy2wqceBPrSHvfVGTeMGs2sUYUJe6fKy4PO-6m0hmM8jRSM7YPfzj7z1N53SaeA/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis6-y25lhciIi9d2WNwcDsYkN2yTX5BYpaDDBxuz_hMd1lprKIkg-lOcdMZlVEBlWlCZwZfrX8Tiy2wqceBPrSHvfVGTeMGs2sUYUJe6fKy4PO-6m0hmM8jRSM7YPfzj7z1N53SaeA/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Christmas Card Holiday Garland</span> </b></span></div><br />Add festive greenery to the kitchen entryway with a large, leafy garland. Make it unique by adorning it with last year's (or this year's) Christmas cards, gold and green orbs, and sprigs of fir or spruce.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrhBA2NaLwi6ocqH10fyhQyZW0Ravqv9YZxyv27ZdYwS3wR5jH-tdJgvmv-DLll7eZlfxy-fMh7EJ5oMVpvJGVSrpP-8SFxfrjpFjEdIiHgjRb1wnPCiHEmJFya6x3uw_U-NCneCvK/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrhBA2NaLwi6ocqH10fyhQyZW0Ravqv9YZxyv27ZdYwS3wR5jH-tdJgvmv-DLll7eZlfxy-fMh7EJ5oMVpvJGVSrpP-8SFxfrjpFjEdIiHgjRb1wnPCiHEmJFya6x3uw_U-NCneCvK/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Guest Room with Holiday Cheer</span></b></span></div><br />To pamper visiting family and friends, consider adding a few extra touches to the guest bedroom. Add a bright pop of color with a throw pillow and an extra quilt. To brighten the side of the bed, include a few red blooms in tin containers, and carry through the same color with a ribbon accent for a bottom-of-the-bed fir wreath. Spray-paint paper letters with a welcoming holiday message and set them atop a fir garland on a nearby shelf or table.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1cGSX0fhxz777evYsbs2xiT2iHwbZ3pZWlIDMz7uAw_sqwo5mIrkaItwRySUqZnReIu_T4gOjLeF1q-0R7lelws5Cfg1nM7wryfIrNWpAfKyl3r9wUpDJwhl87J9fr5Po7rKvRkks/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1cGSX0fhxz777evYsbs2xiT2iHwbZ3pZWlIDMz7uAw_sqwo5mIrkaItwRySUqZnReIu_T4gOjLeF1q-0R7lelws5Cfg1nM7wryfIrNWpAfKyl3r9wUpDJwhl87J9fr5Po7rKvRkks/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Mini Christmas Tree Tabletop Accent</span></b></span></div><br />This potted dwarf Alberta spruce tree makes a great tabletop accent when combined with other holiday elements. Put the tree container into a basket such as a picnic tin and surround it with apples, oranges, or other fruits, adding pinecones or nuts for accent. Attach a vintage holiday card to the open lid to make the decoration even more festive.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrHfZ1IpLozPzXcXxchYlNIrST-WLq1rZU1UJslSozhQ_jQ3ivW-lu7iqcb-TZCPKN1TfTEDymLjZcn0Gsyj3wLLd8erEcxNf8FVuo-pZGNUfR8hVI61KAka2ap-36WoFvCb8Fgl2/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrHfZ1IpLozPzXcXxchYlNIrST-WLq1rZU1UJslSozhQ_jQ3ivW-lu7iqcb-TZCPKN1TfTEDymLjZcn0Gsyj3wLLd8erEcxNf8FVuo-pZGNUfR8hVI61KAka2ap-36WoFvCb8Fgl2/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cheery Christmas Container</span></b></span></div><br />You don't need to go out and buy a special container or vase for the holidays -- instead, get crafty and adorn what you already own. Cut felt to fit around a container, adding an inch to the length. Wrap the felt around and glue at the overlap, then center a ribbon and glue it in place. Using a cookie cutter as a pattern, cut seasonal shapes, such as trees, wreaths, or ornaments, from a complementary color of felt and glue in place. For the final touch, fill the container with ornaments and bits of greenery.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHuinEfJTvenamtGAOAyv1fNEFMUshAioUc2fWrwMfcJl7eswsmxZMMnf0EwN7Jo2e-t0GL1B-m89ySgmLNKQ3AHSK1aHpaJEQDaxJTXRcjX4JrlB-w2d6BDbqhN1Tptq9vh0wtup/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHuinEfJTvenamtGAOAyv1fNEFMUshAioUc2fWrwMfcJl7eswsmxZMMnf0EwN7Jo2e-t0GL1B-m89ySgmLNKQ3AHSK1aHpaJEQDaxJTXRcjX4JrlB-w2d6BDbqhN1Tptq9vh0wtup/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Falling Snowflakes Decoration</span></b></span></div><br />A waterfall of wooden snowflakes, hung from thumbtacks and ribbon, cascades behind the headboard of a bed. Depending on the color scheme of the room where you put the decoration, change up the color of the hanging ribbon or use more than one color to add more festive cheer.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA02OPuS_DV0ggE0lIMkgv-C5-ovnBiNhF-J7QxX8ND91-GT5q7shI_o9ejMCG8VoJpUuiH6IELmQTCF03VyvJv6W6kuIiNor_qTfdmWAUoXM15r-DxDt_bkPSMCZCVXqXgbwSgBs6/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA02OPuS_DV0ggE0lIMkgv-C5-ovnBiNhF-J7QxX8ND91-GT5q7shI_o9ejMCG8VoJpUuiH6IELmQTCF03VyvJv6W6kuIiNor_qTfdmWAUoXM15r-DxDt_bkPSMCZCVXqXgbwSgBs6/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Red-and-White Chair Back Accents</span></b></span></div><br />Dressing up the chairs around your dinner table is super easy with candy canes and holiday ribbon. Tie one end of some wire-edge ribbon in a pretty pattern around an oversize candy cane and the rest in a big bow on the back of each chair. For solid chairs, use T-pins or cut longer ribbon lengths for a sash.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJntegFs79Rx_s8skiQorI75oXuKy_gDR5gost-LbV6R6w7gxQMt_0_SbIA1lVD_Yod1EHZ0E6Ml8Fk14TMlr7lafjo8CMY6pmHI42tBFxpJ7BRmOdSxHY2kOXWfL9YlPPj28oDFox/s1600/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJntegFs79Rx_s8skiQorI75oXuKy_gDR5gost-LbV6R6w7gxQMt_0_SbIA1lVD_Yod1EHZ0E6Ml8Fk14TMlr7lafjo8CMY6pmHI42tBFxpJ7BRmOdSxHY2kOXWfL9YlPPj28oDFox/s640/easy-Christmas-decorating-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2" style="color: orange;">Embellished Fruit Decoration</span></b></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Cloves are the go-to adornment for decorating fruit, but crafts materials can also add dimension and visual interest. Arrange inexpensive brads (found at crafts and office supply stores) in various patterns around apples or oranges. Pile the arrangement in a bowl and place on a coffee table or in an entryway.

Clean the sap from pinecones with a weak water-and-bleach mixture.

Cut a 6-inch-long tube from a sweater sleeve. Slip a plastic-foam ball into the tube. Gather cut ends at the top and bottom of the ball using straight pins to hold the fabric in place, trimming where necessary. Glue red velvet ribbon around the ball as shown, dividing the ball into quarters. Use a red pearl-head pin to secure a felt poinsettia or a small purchased artificial flower to the top of the ornament.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg1CxQdfNtfz8xWILggJVdjzpBegUF8TdUDI5BbOe-1xCcjs4wLKx5WmUssMR93IaeupDMf5wckhftpusS6xZe01o7YmVVdk_4JFUgc8vJUXBpfnstnui6mkJL-bXpwJIxpGl9mQI/s1600/Easy+Christmas+Tree+Ornaments.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg1CxQdfNtfz8xWILggJVdjzpBegUF8TdUDI5BbOe-1xCcjs4wLKx5WmUssMR93IaeupDMf5wckhftpusS6xZe01o7YmVVdk_4JFUgc8vJUXBpfnstnui6mkJL-bXpwJIxpGl9mQI/s640/Easy+Christmas+Tree+Ornaments.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Paisley Gem Ornaments</span> </b></span></div><br />Swirls, teardrops, and tiny dots cover satin baubles like frost on a winter windowpane.
