These last minute decorating tips will help make things merry in no time!

Place bare branches in an interesting pot or container, hang simple ornaments and you’ve got yourself a Christmas tree – quickly and inexpensively.
Have a Ball

Cluster ornaments in an interesting container – a cloche, glass vases, a basket or a bucket does the trick. Elevate them on candlesticks or scatter them on the base of your indoor plants.
Looking Up
If you’ve got a chandelier, use it as part of your holiday decor.

Hang simple streamers of holiday ribbon from your chandelier for a festive touch, tie tree ornaments to the chandelier for some overhead glitz or snowflakes for winter fun.

Reflecting on the Holidays
Use a mirror or window to express your holiday sentiments. Simply use glass paint (available at craft stores) to write your message or draw a picture.
