Visit dozens of stores online and in your area, and you will find hundreds of different wreaths. One of my favorite of these Christmas decorations is the square moss wreath that I found at a department store online. I was not about to spend the $200 they were asking, so I studied the concept, and am currently in the process of finishing my own moss wreath.
I couldn't wait to share these Christmas decoration ideas, so I am thrilled to share my secrets with you in this step-by-step process. Before you get started, be sure to decide if you would like to have a live or artificial wreath.

What could bring both the family and table decor together like fun Christmas projects? One of my favorite things about the holidays is the number of uses for cranberries. From floating cranberries in a floral arrangement to cranberries piled high around your votives, they make a fresh and colorful addition to the Christmas decor.
However, these cranberry decorations can't compare to the homemade cranberry balls used to embellish your table decor.
Although a bit time consuming, these Christmas craft projects are absolutely worth the effort. This is a craft project that you can do with minimal attention. Turn on a festive movie, pour yourself a warm cup of cocoa, and spend an hour or so creating these fabulous balls. Let the kids place toothpicks in the cranberries while you arrange them in the ball. You'll have so much help and so much fun with your kids, that you won't notice how the time is flying!
