Quick and Easy Christmas Design Idea

A Simple, Inexpensive, Festive Christmas Design Idea

All you need is a tall vase or hurricane, a few pinecones and inexpensive Christmas bulbs and you have a quick and easy festive element to add to your Christmas decor. This is a great idea for centerpieces for Christmas parties, an added touch of glam for a hallway or console table, or as simple window decoration. 

I created the one above using my signature silver, black, and white bulbs as a switch from Fall to Winter. And I was extremely delighted to find that the lovely lady who organized my hubby's company Christmas party at The Willard Hotel in DC, which has a very ornate, European feel, used a similar idea for the table centerpieces with red and gold bulbs and ribbon to match. Great minds think alike.

For a more elaborate design, I suggest adding a floral element, candles, or even a mirror under the hurricane for maximum reflection.

The key here is to start with a simple idea and make it uniquely yours.

Truly the possibilities are endless!
