Simple Holiday Decor + Presents ▷
Hello, hello! Hope your week is amazing, and you are getting ready for the Holidays. Are you done shopping yet, decorating? I actually started decorating before Thanksgiving... I know, I know. It was the only day when I could take my time and place things exactly where they belong, while being able to create new displays. I don't know about any of you, but decorating is my favorite, and I find myself changing displays throughout the year. Holiday decorating is very fun for me!
As I was decorating, I decided to snap a few pics and show you guys a few little displays I have made. It's so easy to create these, and you can change colors or styles to accommodate your home.
I started with my favorite room... the pink office (as you can see the pink walls, he he). This is an area where I love to relax, work, and think. Since it is a smaller space, I wanted only a few little mini trees to still create some festivity. I added some red flannel on the bottom and some little balls that stick to the tree (I know, weird, but it works). The second tree was very simple, just add pink balls, and I placed it on a tiny cute white plate.
This is my other little display... in the kitchen. We have a wooden cabinet with some various things in it, and I thought it would be cute to add something to the top of it. It's basically a water container I purchased at Target last Summer and was intended for ice water, but you know. As I was searching through the holiday decorations, I discovered a few snow covered crystalized branches from Michaels...all on a white pretty plate. How perfect and white christmas-y looking. Then, a nice little mini tree was added (oh, how I love my little trees everywhere, as you know).
This display is very easy and fun. Take a holiday plate and add a candle and a few sprigs of pine. It smells amazing and is very clean and simple.
Now let's get talking about present wrapping! I am always inspired by packages that are wrapped with such simplicity. Don't get me wrong, I also love all the glitzy presents that are so fun as well, but for my packages, I just keep them simple.
I love to wrap with various colors of tissue paper. It's so easy to work with and gives a soft touch to your holiday giving. This is just white tissue paper (so inexpensive) four different ways. The first pic is created with hot glue on a few peppermint candies. We usually have our typical and popular candy canes, but I thought this might be cute with round candies on the package. The other pics are created with thicker twine with just a few cute embellishments on them... candy cane ornament, small blueberry cane, and a cinnamon stick. The cinnamon stick makes the package smell amazing! But of course, you can add anything you have around the house that is festive!
The second part is using red tissue paper... oh, the possibilities are endless! I had some cute ribbon with red polka dots and thought I would wrap it around twice to give it some extra fun. Then, I took some cute holiday scrapbook paper and drew a little tree (it does not have to be perfect, in fact, make it unique) and taped it on there. The second pictures shows the same ribbon, but with some fresh pine that I have in the house. So cute and easy!
I hope this gives you some great holiday ideas. Sometimes, we are so busy with life this time of year, and it's hard to think of new ways to decorate and wrap gifts.
See you next time! Take care and be creative! What ideas do you have to share?
