Pine cones, branches, mini-twinkle lights and a couple of vases are all you need to recreate a pretty Christmas display like this. Use a hot glue gun to attach the pine cones to the branches. Don’t be afraid to improvise and put your own spin on this basic idea.

Christmas Decor Ideas – An Entry Table decorated for Christmas with snowman ornaments in three different sizes, a pine branch, a miniature (very miniature!) table-top tree in a silver urn, decorative acorns, flocked pine cones, and ball ornaments. Winding its way through this festive display, a sting of clear mini lights causes the glitter on the ornaments to sparkle and shimmer, and brings the little scene to life.

On the right hand side of the table, a slate colored urn  holds real spruce braches, silver sparkle twigs, and pre-lit branches with clear lights.

Cozy Christmas decor ideas like this one on an entry table offer a wonderful welcome for guests at the entry to your home during the Holiday Season.

DIY Christmas Decor – Luminaries are created using frosted cylinder vases and white twinkle lights.

Loosely coil a single strand of clear mini-lights on a white cord in each vase. Run the plug end over the back edge of the vase and behind it so the cord is out of view.  Of course, always use lights that have been safety tested (read the label), and always unplug the strand when the display is left unattended.

This idea is great for a stand alone vase, but looks even better when vases of varying sizes are grouped, as shown above.  When combining vases into a group, always use odd numbers for the most powerful visual effect.

You could also use vases of the same height and display them in a row for a different look.

The bottoms of these vases have gold ribbon wrapped around the bottoms and affixed with double-sided tape. A second ribbon (narrow) is the fastened over the first to give more visual interest.

Such an easy DIY Christmas decor idea, but it looks so sophisticated!  Photo Credit: Martha Stewart

A Christmas decor DIY project – a large rectangular glass vase is filled with clear mini-lights, then two types of gold ribbon are wrapped around the vase – a wide gold organza ribbon and a more narrow gold satin ribbon, alternating the two. The effect is that of a wrapped gift box. Faux pointsettia blooms are placed at the mouth of the vase, concealing the lights. Plug the lights in from the back so the cord is concealed and watch the gift light up and glow from within. A great Christmas decor accent you can make yourself to create a interesting focal point and bathe your room in a beautiful glow. Copyright ThatCupcakeSite.com.

Sweet and romantic, this white Christmas tree is decorated with dream-filled decorations like hearts, angels, stars and ballet slippers. White twinkle lights are tucked deep within the branches to illuminate the tree from the inside, so that it almost appears to be glowing from within. This also provides a back-lighting effect for the decorations which really helps to show them off.

Another white tree lit exlcusively by white twinkle lights, but there is no shortage of color here. Bright red Christmas decorations really bring this tree to life and create some terrific visual contrast for a very powerful effect.

A beautiful Christmas display is created for this mantle by simply placing an ivy garland across the mantle top, then tucking white twinkle lights beneath. Letter art that says “Christmas” is the nestled into the ivy, and illuminated by the white glow of the twinkle lights. Iridescent antique-look Christmas icicle ornaments are suspended from the mantle, and white cardboard snowflake decorations dusted with iridescent glitter are dotted over the mirror above the mantle. This mainly monochromatic white pallette gives it a very wintery feel. That spash of green with the ivy creates a burst of great contrast for visual punch.
