- Light up a room. For a centerpiece that truly glistens, use glitter snow and battery-powered LED lights with ornaments.
-
- Add some sparkle to your existing vase. A shimmering strand of beads or shiny ball ornaments adds visual interest to any centerpiece.
-
- If you’re not going to use an old string of beads, cut them off of the string to make better filler. Add ribbon to a jar filled with your beads for a festive touch.

- Rustic charm is in abundance with cranberries. Cranberries float in water, giving you a layering effect and a great centerpiece or mantle topper.

- Displaying simple glass ornaments in a unique basket is perfect as a centerpiece or any nook of your house.
-
- What’s more welcoming than Santa hats? Hang them from your existing frames or art on the wall to keep decorating easy.
-
- Get crafty with your Christmas cheer. Use small pieces of tissue paper or your favorite newspaper with decoupage to design your own ball ornaments. Use in a centerpiece with a vibrant accent color.
-
- There is no rule that ornaments have to be on the tree. Showcase your best ornaments in a glass vessel to give them the attention they deserve.
-
- Bring life to burned-out Christmas bulbs. Display them in a glass jar or vase.
-
- Don’t forget to bring your garden décor inside. Try filling a wire plant basket with any leftover ornaments to create some Christmas shimmer to any area in your home.
-
- Add joyful words to enhance the Christmas spirit. Pull out your old Scrabble game and use the letter tiles to leave a Christmas message.
