The fir tree in this Oregon home is decked out with craft-store birds and painted pinecones.
Add some sparkle to your tabletop. Tableware designer Rosanna Bowles puts her prettiest ornaments where people can really see them. "I display my favorites on a vintage tray," she says.
Crafty Candleholders
The trick to transforming plain glass votive holders ($1 each; pier1.com)? Humble upholstery webbing ($1.15 per yard; onlinefabricstore.net). Simply cut a piece of webbing to the same length as the holder's circumference; then trim the webbing a tad bit shorter than the holder's height. Coat the webbing's raw edges with Mod Podge to prevent fraying; let dry for 20 minutes. Next, affix the webbing around the holder with thin lines of hot glue and let dry for five minutes. Package a few of these beauties together with scented candles inside and cross someone off your list.
Wooden Stockings
Antique wooden sock forms stand in for stockings—at least until December 24!
