Statue + homemade “collar.”

Not everybody has a dog statute at his place, but in case you have one you can make a custom Christmas ribbon in order to decorate it. Placing a jocular note is another way to cheer the interior up with creative ideas.

Sweet treats + glass containers

We love the idea about placing some various in colors candy canes in a glass, another top cake stand with different types of home baked cookies and a jar full of kisses. If you expect sincere guest at Christmas Eve, they will surely be attracted by the charm of the sweets.

Brown paper + string + greenery

Do you remember the old days at Christmas Eve, when all the presents were in this kind of brown paper packages? And why don’t you recreate that forgotten feeling in today’s life?

Plain stockings + craft store letters.

Wow, this one is gorgeous! Hang a bunch of stockings above the fireplace and attach hand-crafted letters to each of them.You can use it to write your name, your beloved or children one. Why don’t you simple write Santa?

Ball ornaments + bowls.

Another fantastic way to bring the cheerful spirit right into your private areas is buying such kind of colorful bowls. These fit really well living rooms and other casual areas. In this visual example, you can see the beautiful accent they put in the neutral colored room.

Hardback books + pretty ribbon.

Do you have a home library? We bet you do, at least a couple of books left somewhere at your home. Now, go there and see if the book covers can do a colorful splash in a certain room. For best results, you will need three red books, tied together with a bundle of random fabric.

Bare branches + demijohn.

An effective Christmas decorative item would be a vessel, full of random tree branches collected from the outside. Of course, you shouldn’t leave the branches bare, so you’ll need to place some little Christmas decorative elements in order to get a proper touch,.

Craft store letters + gold paint + skewers.

What you need for our next creative decorative item is your old skewers. Then you have to scoop up letters with a tiny shape. For better effect, you can use a gold paint. The attachment of the letters to the skewers is not a hard task when you have some hot glue at hand. To finish the Christmas decoration, fill a jar with salt and stick the skewers inside. That’s it!

Bottle rack + twinkle lights

Light up your holiday bar or buffet by twining a strand of white twinkle lights around a bottle rack — the glass of the bottles will reflect the glow of the lights, making the look even more festive. No bottle rack? Wrap lights around the base of a cake stand or through a wine rack instead.

Our next idea may seem a little strange to some of our readers, but it is a really attractive piece of decoration. So, you need a bottle rack and some Christmas lights placed inside and outside the bottles. Just wrap them randomly. The light will be reflected by the glass, so you will have a shiny room with amazing Christmas spirit. Choose your right place for the bottle rack and let the show begin!

Greenery + scraps of trim.

Well, it’s time to have a look at some natural elements that can create the cozy feeling of being at home for Christmas. This gorgeous greenery tied to the banister is a traditional way to decorate the interior. Some people perfectly know how to ruin the simple and elegant atmosphere that such natural element creates. Placing shiny Christmas balls and ribbons are a definite way to destroy the brilliance of simplicity. Of course, you can always add little decorative items with a color of your choice but whatever you do, just keep the things as simple as you can. And you will love your interior !

Wreath forms + foraged finds + wooden star

Wreaths are another way to stick to the traditional decorations for the December holiday. Our next idea is a hand-crafted wreath that can easily be done by yourself for an hour, let’s say.

You will need some glue, and they will stick as they have always been there. A simple wooden star of your choice will be the perfect finish for this Christmas item.
