CHRISTMAS CRAFTS FOR THE HOME

I love Christmas decorations, but they can be so expensive!  Here are a few ideas for making your home beautiful and inviting without depleting your bank account.

I.  This first idea uses blank canvases, wallpaper, paint, ribbon, and wooden letters.  The great part is you can remove the letters after Christmas and keep the canvases all year long. http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2009/12/joy-of-red.html

What a pretty centerpiece!  Candles, flower pots, greenery, and berries.

III.  Another easy idea for a centerpiece - a glass container, water, ornaments, and floating candles.

IV.   I've seen this glass block idea before with Christmas lights and a festive ribbon tied around it.  But I love adding the vinyl cut-out of a nativity scene.

V.  What a great idea for making that stair space festive for Christmas!
