Beautiful Holiday Ideas

Using greens to create "mini" wreaths around the base of your candles will not only look really neat, smell really good it will also keep the wax from dripping on your linens~

Cranberries!

Make use of that beautiful stunning red color and it will not break the bank like purchasing pricey "ilex" berries.

Like this stunning cranberry ball, atop of a candle pedastal. Simply use a foam ball or oasis from any craft store, and insert toothpicks into cranberries and pop on to the balls. Beautiful centerpiece, decoration or hostess gift this holiday season.

Use them in your floral designs, they float and make beautiful deep red beds for floating candles to rest in. (Use a floral frog to get a flower such as this red rose in this picture to stay put on the bottom).

This is one of my favorite ideas I found today, using ferns with stones and a floating candle atop, this can evoke a spring or holiday feeling.
