Add a beautiful matching tray and wooden decorations ornaments, together with some candleholders and candles.

Prepare a Treat

Who doesn’t love treats to accompany a warm cup of cocoa or tea? Prepare some easy sweets which you’ll wrap up nicely and you’ll have a perfect homemade gift. Make some easy hanging marshmallows rice crispie peppermint treats or a few mini gingerbread houses which you can decorate to look festive and yummy. If you think the recipient would value a savory gift, prepare a sampler with various cheese crackers, arranged carefully in a divided wooden box.

Try these 75 creative Christmas stocking stuffer ideas!

Dress Up a Cup

If you can knit or have a child’s sweater you no longer need, you can create a sweet cup warmer to add to a beautiful cup. Make a few simple chocolate spoons which can be decorated with edible Christmassy décor. Getting some beautiful spoons to match the cup will add style to the gift. Add some mini marshmallows for cuteness. If you want, you can use a mason jar where you will have prepared your favorite hot cocoa mix. A few ribbons, maybe a tray and wrapping and you have the best homemade gift. In case you want to give such a present to a coffee lover, replace the spoons with some mochafrosted cake or marshmallow pops and the cocoa mix with a special coffee blend.

Homemade gifts shine through the care you put into preparing them. They don’t need to be costly to make a lasting impression; they just need to be made with genuine loving feelings!

20 Christmas Centerpieces: Ideas for your Dining Room

[ad#co-1]

1. Wreath Christmas centerpieces:

Place a wreath on your table instead of hanging on the door. Lay it down in the center of the table, and set a few colored tapered candles or one large pillar candle in the center. You can fill the bare spots if any between the wreath and the candles with some red apples, golden pears or fresh cranberries. Visit our wreath site – How To Make a Burlap Wreath to see our holiday wreath inspiration! 

2. Use Christmas Candy for Christmas Centerpieces

You can never go wrong with jars of Christmas candies. They make a tasty and visually appealing centerpiece. Fill jars of various shapes and sizes with different types of colorful Christmas candies. Tie matching bows on the jars for extra detail. Provide your guests with small cellophane bags so that they can fill candy at the end of the bash for a sweet party favor.

3. Poinsettia Holiday Centerpieces

Poinsettias are the most popular flowers during the holidays. They come in various colors and sizes. Place a pot of colorful poinsettias on your party table for a beautiful festive centerpiece. While red and white are the most common, marble poinsettias can also be used.

4. Christmas Gifts Make a Pretty Holiday Centerpiece

Wrapped gifts instantly adorn the center of the table without being heavy on the pocket. Wrap empty boxes of various sizes in Christmas wrapping paper to be used as a centerpiece. Add colorful ribbons around the gift boxes and stack them into a neat arrangement in the center of the table. To double the centerpiece as favors fill the gift boxes with Christmas candies or ornaments.

5. Colorful Christmas Organic Bowl

Fill a glass bowl with a variety of fruits for a modern winter centerpiece. In a tall, clear glass vase put alternating layers of seasonal fruits such as crab apples, pears, fresh cranberries, and more. Make sure to put some cold water to keep the fruits from going brown. If you are throwing a winter party, add some gold glass beads into the same centerpiece to add in some sparkle factor.

2. Remove the caps from your Christmas ornaments.
3. Apply hot glue to the top part of each ornament then press it into the foam ball. Mix different colors and sizes for a unique look.
4. Fill the tiny gaps between the ornaments with the rhinestone picks or prewired filler.

• Use antique ornaments for decoration

If you think your dining and coffee table look dull, a table centerpiece should make it attractive. All you need to have are your antique ball ornaments, leaves and a cake stand platter. But you can always use any ball ornaments you have in your drawers. This is so simple. Lay down the leaves on your cake stand platter and then pile your antique ornament balls in random on the cake stand platter. That’s it!

• Add greenery in your interior

One of the easiest ways to decorate is by adding greenery in your home. This can be done by placing lush greenery drapes in your door and window frames. If you have some extras, you can also have your window sills decorated with greeneries. This will definitely bring a holiday ambiance in your home interior.

Olioboard Inspiration #58

‘Christmas Party Theme Ideas’ – Shelley Harcar

Creating a Christmas party theme may seem a little daunting, but it can be much simpler than you imagine. Of all the times of the year, Christmastime seems to come with the most readily “built in” themes. A very simple way to choose a theme is to take your inspiration from one of the many Christmas Carols which are heard in abundance this time of year. It could be a favorite of yours with a special meaning (I always think of my Mother when I hear “Silver Bells”) or something fun & catchy that fits personality (some folks really do embody “Holly Jolly Christmas). Another great way to choose a theme is to take your cues from the guest list. Entertaining business associates at a formal dinner party would have a totally different feel to it than hosting a casual gathering of friends and their children.

 Christmas Party Theme Ideas

3 Christmas themes to give you versatility

I have designed three different party themes, all in the same room, to show how much of an impact a theme can have on the décor of the room. My “White Christmas” design is set for a more formal party. I chose a refined color palette that gave a sparkle to the gathering place. Simple accessories like silver wreathes and garland, work well with white Christmas trees and sparkling stick trees with all white lights. Whites with metallic colors can look a little cold, so I added a large glowing tree by a cozy fireplace.

[ad#co-1]

Home for the Holidays Party Theme

My “Home for the Holidays” setting takes its cues from a traditional family Christmas. A large tree with simple decorations grabs attention immediately. The traditional red and green of Christmas plays into this theme very well. The decorations are simple and comfortable, creating a warm and inviting location for family and friends to gather.

Candy Cane Lane Christmas Party Theme

The “Candy Cane Lane” design is a place for children’s party dreams to come true.  A whimsical tree overflowing with candy anchors a room filled with peppermint delights. Red and white peppermints easily create a festive wreath and garlands. A gingerbread village and train will delight children of all ages. Guests to this party immediately know they are here for fun.

Most importantly, remember that guests will take their cues from you. So be relaxed and cheerful. (Hide the breakables and scotch guard the sofa if necessary) The season will pass by quickly, so focus on making memories that will last long after the last bit of tinsel has been swept away.

About Shelley Harcar

I am a lifelong Ohioan and presently live in Stow with my family. I am a graduate of Youngstown State University, where I studied Social Work and Psychology. I am currently employed as a substitute teacher within my local school district. I also do freelance writing. My designing interest began over 20 years ago when I became a floral designer. In addition to making floral designs, we were invited into customer’s homes to assist with holiday and seasonal decorating.

I discovered Olioboard through a friend, and I quickly became caught up in the fun of the Olioboard Fan Room. It is a great escape from everyday life and I find a great deal of satisfaction in taking a blank screen and turning it into something lovely. When I’m not designing, I enjoy watching sports with my son, shopping, writing, and spending time with friends & family. You can read Shelley’s writing here.

Olioboard Inspiration #57

‘International Holiday Celebrations’ – Nora Noorsirrat

The holiday season is here and it is the time when family and friends travel home for the holidays to be with their loved ones. However, if you are not going home for the holidays due to work why not host an international holiday celebration instead with your international friends and colleagues at your home or the office.

International Holiday Celebrations

Decoration Ideas

Hosting an international holiday celebration is fun but a lot of attention has to be given towards your guests’ culture and religious background. Choose neutral and non-religious items like flags from each country or colors to symbolize the country. Use symbolic colors like blue and red for USA, green for Ireland and red for China. Use flowers and plants that you can identify their country of origin for example, bamboo and orchids are from Asia while grapes and tulips are from Europe.

[ad#co-1]

Go Casual

Traditionally, friends and family gather and chat around dining table. Why not create a different atmosphere by going for a casual dining style by using low coffee table and sofa chairs to create a casual lounge atmosphere. Your guests will be comfortable to move around and mingle.

Create cozy corners

Create a décor that your guests can identify with their country.  If your guests are from Italy, Greece and UK, create a European style atmosphere with Italian chairs, a union jack bench, greek sculpture or winding grape vines. If they are from Japan, Korea or China, hang red drapes for drama, hang lanterns, provide seats using rattan chairs and create side table with oriental chest. Comfort is always when you feel at home.

Creative gift wrap

Everybody loves gifts and a celebration would not be the same without exchanging gifts. Make it fun with creative gift wrapping or try something new with the art of Japanese ‘tsutsumi’ style that uses cloth and paper. Your guests will not only appreciate the gift but they will learn more about the country and its culture.

Serve international food

Food is where the heart is no matter where you are. Serve international food like sushi or timsum from Asia or Mediterranean couscous for a change. Prepare recipe cards and give out to your friends for them to try back home. The next time there is another gathering, your friends will be able to prepare the various international food! The more we eat together, the more we appreciate and love others – and the world will be a better place to live! Cheers!

Christmas Decorations: Creative Acorn Ideas

Table Décor

Acorns have such beautiful and unique shape that they would add the perfect twist to your holiday table settings.  Try adding some acorns to your napkin rings.  Just purchase regular napkin rings and take a hot glue gun, and begin to hot glue acorns all around the ring.  Once the ring has been covered then set it down to dry.  Take the dry ring and place around one of your decorative napkins and lay it on the table with rest of the table setting and also for spark add some scattered acorns around the table with maple leaves.

[ad#co-1]

Candle centerpiece idea

Or perhaps you wish to not have so many acorns resemble your lawn then a simple centerpiece will do.  Take a glass vase, jar or metal vase and fill the bottom with acorns and place a candle right in the center of the vase and place it on the dining table or where you would like for it to show.  Or you can fill the vase or jar up to the brim with acorns and top it off with a flower or maple leaves and pine needles.

Jewelry gift ideas

They don’t just have to be used for interior holiday décor.  How about adding acorns to your holiday fashion accessory décor?  Take those wonderfully created acorns and turn them into earring, necklaces, or pendant broaches for you and the women in your family to enjoy.  Visit your local craft store, to find out ways to change up the look of the acorn to an accessory for your tastes.

Delicious Acorn Dessert

Of course an ever popular way nuts have been used for the holidays in our homes is with the desserts.  So let’s not take away from this tradition but add on to it.  For this idea you should probably purchase artificial acorns or create acorns with cookies and candy only because you and your guest will eat what they are going on and you probably don’t want to eat what has been lying on your lawn.  But decorate any cake with some artificial or candied acorns and follow up the nutty dessert with more nutty treats such as peanut clusters or pecan pie.

You don’t have to go far to get inspiration for your holiday décor.  Acorns are right outside your door and can add so much for you holiday décor.  So go ahead and look at the ideas above and find other ideas you can use acorns for your holiday décor.  Go and be inspired this holiday season!

‘Creative Christmas Outdoor Lighting Ideas’ – Jonn Nuter

Festive outdoor lighting

When I was younger, after Thanksgiving dinner it was a holiday tradition in our family to go see Candy Cane Lane, which was a nearby neighborhood where everyone went out of their way to out decorate each other’s yards. Cars would be lined up as far as the eye could see and slowly drive through the neighborhood and enjoy the decorations. I always remember it as a magical experience and it was the reason I chose to write about Festive Outdoor Lighting. Think of it as a Christmas present to your yard, a great light display that puts a smile on the face of everyone who passes by. Ready to trip the light fantastic? Here’s what you need to know.

Choosing the right string lights

Lighting strings come with as few as 25 bulbs and can go up to as many as 200.Lighting clips make installation easy and are designed to work without damaging surfaces they are attached to. There are even specialty lights designed to add lights around windows and even ones to grab onto brick surfaces. Choose clips on the size of the bulbs you’ll be using, as well as what you will be attaching them to.

Christmas Outdoor Lighting Ideas

Simple keys to successful lighting

• Map out lighting plan ahead of time.
• Use only light strings and extension cords approved for outdoor use
• When plugging light strings together, never use more than 3 strings on one run.
• Never connect different lengths of light strings, they are rated for different amperages.
• If you need a measurement to light a post or tree, use a string first, then lay flat to measure the length of lights you’ll need.

Incandescent lighting versus LED

And the winner is… LED! A string of LED’S may cost twice as much as the same sized incandescent, but because they are so long lasting the price difference is erased after two to three years of use. LED’S use about 10 percent of the electricity that incandescents use because incandescents use 90 percent of their energy to heat up the filament. LED’S sip energy and produce very little heat which also reduces the risk of fire. Many LED lights meet Energy Star guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. LED bulbs are typically made of lightweight plastic and are less likely to break than glass incandescent bulbs. Incandescents are generally brighter, but LED’S have more bulbs per string, so call this one a tie.

Lighting your outdoors

String your lights in the evening, with them plugged in so you can see the effect as you build your light scheme. If you have a nice evergreen in your yard that you would like to illuminate, it is best to use larger bulb sizes. The industry rule of thumb is 100 lights for every vertical foot of tree. larger trees may need more.  Evergreen bushes are perfect candidates for lighting nets, crisscrossed networks of wires and mini lights. Toss them over your bushes, plug them in and viola! Mini light strings are great for spirals of light on posts or trees, the bark is usually rough enough to hold lights in place however, pushpins can be used for support. Don’t drive in a bunch of screws or nails as it can harm the tree.

Display Overboard!

For you adventurous types there are music synchronization kits that turn your yard into a virtual Christmas disco. A standard 30 amp plug-and-play system divides your display into 16 separate channels and can include weatherproof speakers. Pre-synced music and simpler sets can be bought that come with a small speaker and 10 pre-loaded songs.  The end result is really quite impressive(and your electric bill will be also)

Check out this video that shows a great use of outdoor lighting synced to music. It’s AMAZING!

Let me end by wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. – Jonn

About John Nuter

My name is Jonn Nuter and I live in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. I have always been interested in interior design/decorating, yet only did it in a limited capacity for friends and family. After a bout with cancer 9 years ago, I was inspired to throw convention to the wind and live the rest of my life doing something I was truly passionate about,so I went back to school and I’m proud to say,recently received my diploma in interior decorating from Penn Foster University. I am capable of working with all styles of design, but I tend to lean towards modern/contemporary. I am currently looking to obtain a position in the design field while i work towards starting my own design service. That is where Olioboard comes in as an invaluable tool for creating your own designs whether you just like to experiment or you work in the design industry. It has not only provided me with a place to network,find advice and get support, but I’ve made some great friends.
