uches for Christmas

special occasions and get-
togethers successful and mem-
orable:
B Create handmade Christmas
cards using fine paper and
your favourite art supplies.
Whether you box stitch a
stocking | into the centre of
your card cz create a dried tlo-
ral out of pine, cedar and bal-
sara, making vour greeting by
hand says it all;
8 Have a very berry Christmas
by keeping ‘fresh cranberries
on hand as the perfect garnish
for all your seasonal specialties.
Cranberries are the ideal
colour accent for your sweet
and savory recipes and also
make excellent garnishes in
glasses of bubbly. Simply drop
a couple into the champagne
flutes before you pour, then
enjoy them bobbing about as

your savor cach sip;

B To dress up your glassware,
tie soft gossamer or organdie
ribbons to the stems for a sim-
ple and elegant enhancement
your guests will enjoy as they
toast the holidays.

Add a fresh sprig of holly

to the nbbon to emphasize the
spint of the season;
G Create an inexpensive can-
dle treatment for your holiday
table by using large cylindrical
vases or hurricane shades.

Simply place a pillar candle
into the centre of these glass
accessories and then fill the
remaining space with pine
cones, cranberries or small
kumquats. Tie a ribbon
around the outside of the vase,
light the candle and enjoy.
Doing multiples of this look
also creates a stunning mantel;
M@ Antique Christmas orna-
ments make perfect gifts bur
also have a place as decor add-
ons.

Tie them te napkins using
antique ribbons. Try adding
them to table centerpieces for.
a vintage look or incorporate
them into your bow and nb-
bon treatment on gift boxes;
@ Use ice lanterns to draw
cacolers — or partygoers — to
your door. Pour water into 2
large plastic container then
place a smaller container in
the same container. Anchor
the smaller container down so

that you create a hollow well. >.
Freeze until solid. Remove -

both containers and add. a
small votive candle to the well.
Place the ice lanterns outside
on 2 frosty night for a look

that is both warm and invit-

ing.

Make your own ornaments»
using cookie molds and quick: -

drying plaster. Once dried and .
removed from the molds, dec-
orate using coloured paints.
This’ is perfect for. mantel
treatments, trees and garlands.
