SALT LAKE CITY — Do you have too many pins on Pinterest and not enough time to try them all? Don't worry — the Page Two editors of ksl.com will try them out and give you the low-down.
This week on Pinterest: Tired of the same-old Christmas decor, dusted off year after year? Try these festive ideas for decking the halls in new holiday style.
Go natural
Natural touches are timeless, homey and cost next to nothing, if at all. Add bits of evergreen to candleholders, swag a pine garland, make a pine cone wreath or use seasonal fruits in centerpieces.
Let it snowHomemade snowflakes never looked so chic. Use a paper snowflake pattern, make a snowflake curtain or lacey panel, or starch some doilies for an antique snowflake look. After you have your snowflakes, try making an art print or framed display. Not in the mood for traditional holiday fare? Check out these Star Wars snowflakes you can make yourself.
Get glittery
The holidays just wouldn't be merry and bright without a little sparkle — or a lot. Add some glitter to a Christmas word display, plastic fruit, a silhouette art piece, a pinecone centerpiece or inside tree ornaments.
Create with candy
Awaken your inner child with candy-themed Christmas decorations. Make a candy cane candle or garland, create a peppermint wreath or present centerpiece, or fill glass vases or apothecary jars with vintage-style candy.
However you choose to deck the halls this Christmas, remember that it's not how you do it, it's why: to awaken and keep the spirit of the holidays in your home for the whole season.
