Article by Elizabeth Chastain

If you’re looking for some Christmas decorating ideas for your upcoming Christmas birthday party or your annual Christmas affair, here’s some fun and fabulous options to consider. These little ideas will help you create Christmas Party pizzazz!

BIG BAD BASKET – Fill a fun basket with colorful ornaments and greenery. You could also opt to use frosted fruits and berries, along with greenery instead. Either way, be sure to embellish the handle with a decorative bow.

GLITZY GOBLETS & MARVY MARTINI GLASSES – Fill clear goblets and martini glasses with small, colorful ornaments, beads spilling out, and tie the stem with a festive bow.

TEAPOT TREE – For a Victorian-type of a decoration, place a small Christmas tree inside of a teapot. Decorate the tree with small teacup and saucer ornaments, ribbons, doilies, and pearls.

CHIPPER CHAIRS – Tie some ribbons and Christmas greenery to the backs of your dining room chairs to add some holiday color. Another option is to attach a fun ornament to the center of a bow and then tie it to the backs of the chairs.

PRETTY POINSETTIA TREE – Gather several barren tree branches and spray-paint them white. Insert them into a container filled with sand and top with decorative white rocks. Glue small, silk poinsettia flowers to green ornaments. Tie the ornaments to your tree branches using green and red ribbons.

RED & WHITE IS ALL RIGHT – To create an elegant and more formal-looking table, opt for a crisp, red tablecloth and napkins with white bone china. Place a long white taper candle in the center of a small bowl (use wax to secure) and fill the bowl with water. Arrange red flowers around the candle. Place a single poinsettia on each plate or tie them around your napkins with a white ribbon.

CHRISTMAS CARD GARLAND – Don’t throw away last year’s cards. Instead, glue them on a decorative ribbon and string them around your party room.

SNAZZY SNOWFLAKES – Using decorative ribbons, tie glitter snowflake ornaments around your napkins, candlestick holders, goblet stems, and to the backs of your dining room chairs. Hang them from your ceiling or chandeliers using fishing line or decorative ribbons.

A Christmas Birthday Party For Little Ones, Needs Christmas Tree Theme Ideas For A Fabulous Par-Tay!

Article by Elizabeth Chastain

If you’re looking for some Christmas tree theme ideas for a Christmas birthday party or your own home decor, no need to be a Scrooge about it–just do it! Here’s a couple of options that would be perfect for little ones:

SWEET AS CAN BE, IS A CANDYLAND TREE

Let the Candyland board game be your inspiration for creating a Christmas birthday party tree of sweet success.

Start out by hanging strands of mini, multi-colored lights on the tree.Create cranberry and popcorn garland by stringing popped corn and fresh cranberries on heavy thread using a heavy needle and wind it around the tree branches.String Fruit Loop cereal and red licorice pieces onto heavy thread to create another fun Candyland garland option.Make peppermint candy ornaments by cutting out squares of red and white striped fabric and filling the center with batting. Roll the fabric and batting into pieces of clear cellophane and tie off the sides with red and white ribbons, and they are ready to hang on your tree limbs.Make ice cream ornaments to hang on the tree. Start by spray-painting the outside of the sugar cones to coordinate with your selected ornaments. Be sure to give them each a bit of sparkle by using a light spray of metallic paint. Glue a piece of ribbon onto the cone to create a handle to hang the ornaments. Glue the colorful round ornaments onto the sugar cones and they’re ready to go.Fill various colored pieces of colored cellophane with gum drops, tie off with colorful ribbons and tie to the branches. Remember, not too many or it will be heavy!Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe and cut the cookies into star and tree shapes. Decorate with colorful frostings and sprinkles. Wrap in clear cellophane, tie off with a ribbon and hang them on your tree.Make gingerbread men using your favorite recipe. While they’re still warm, cut a small hole at the top so you can run a ribbon through to tie them to the tree branches. A hard plastic straw works great to cut the holes. Give your little men a face and decorate their body with some piped out frosting. Let dry before hanging.Tie red ribbons around the center of the candy canes and hang them on the tree branches.Top with a fun Christmas-dressed stuffed Candyland character.Make a Candyland tree skirt using lots of colorful fabrics.

BABY’S 1ST CHRISTMAS TREE THEME

If you have a little one who will be experiencing his or her first Christmas and a single “Baby’s 1st Christmas” ornament won’t do, then go for the gusto and create a baby themed Christmas tree. If your child was born on or near Christmas Day, then you might want to create a Christmas birthday party celebration. Either way, you can opt to emphasis pink, blue, yellow, and white, or any combination thereof or go for the primary colors of red, blue, yellow, and green.

Start by placing strands of white lights or pastel lights on the tree. If you’ve chosen primary colors, then let your lights follow suit.Your baby ornaments will consist of things like pacifiers, rattles, baby spoons, baby blocks, small baby toys.Fill little baby mittens and booties with silk flowers, pearls, ribbons, etc. and hang off the tree limbs.Tie bows to the tree branches. This would be a good time to use plaid-printed bows.Create little picture ornaments using small lightweight picture frames. If you can find star and Christmas-tree shaped frames, that would be perfect. Don your frames with Mom, Dad, and lots of pictures of Baby!Your tree topper could be a stuffed teddy bear or a large picture of your new arrival in a special frame. Just be sure it is lightweight, so not to weigh down the top of the tree.Wrap a baby blanket around the tree trunk. Place a choo choo train around the bottom of the tree.

Now that you have a couple of examples of how to create a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree, here’s a few other options to consider for that upcoming office party, home Christmas celebration, or Christmas birthday party for a friend or loved one:

A Christmas Birthday Party Needs Christmas Party Favor Ideas To Create Glad Tidings!

Article by Elizabeth Chastain

If you’re looking for some Christmas party favor ideas for your upcoming Christmas birthday party, an office party, or your annual Christmas shindig, then here’s some snazzy and jazzy options to consider. Your guests will indeed believe this to be the most wonderful time of the year!

MUG FULL OF YUM – For the chocolate lovers in your life, fill a Christmas mug full of Hershey’s Kisses, envelope the mug with Christmas-printed cellophane, tie off with some fun ribbons, and hang a glitzy snowflake ornament on the outside.

ANOTHER MUG FULL OF YUM – Capitalize on chocolate and fill a Christmas mug with an envelope of hot chocolate, a small clear bag of mini marshmallows, and a package of creamer to make your hot “toddy” a bit more decadent. Once again, envelope the cup in a decorative cellophane and tie it off with coordinating ribbons and a dangling ornament.

CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS TREE – Melt green chocolate candy melts and pour the melted chocolate into a Christmas tree-shaped candy mold. Lay a sucker stick into the warm chocolate. After the chocolate hardens, pop your trees out of the mold. Wrap the trees in cellophane and tie off with a ribbon.

If you want your tree to have decorations, then prior to pouring the green chocolate into the mold you’ll need to “paint” your decorations onto the inside of the mold using a craft brush. Wilton’s candy melts come in an array of colors, which makes it easy to paint on your ornaments, lights, garland, or whatever floats your boat!

WHIMSICAL WREATH ORNAMENTS – Buy some mini craft wreaths and decorate them with Christmas ribbons, berries, dried flowers, cinnamon sticks, holly, etc. Create a hanger by gluing a ribbon loop on the back.

In the alternative, you could decorate each wreath to coincide with your guests’ interests. For example, if Suzie likes to sew, decorate your wreath with spools of thread, ribbons, scissors, etc. For Fisherman Frank, decorate his wreath with fishing lures, hooks, sinkers, rubber worms, thin rope, etc.

SPA DELIGHT – Make or buy a sugar scrub and put into small mason jars or decorative glass jars, which have tight lids. Decorate the outside with Christmas ribbons, cinnamon sticks, a sprig of holly, berries, etc. Tie a small spoon to the side, along with written instructions for use.

COOKIE CUTTERS – Print out your favorite cookie recipe on a recipe card. Place Christmas-shaped cookie-cutters into a decorative cellophane bag. Tie it off with colorful ribbons and attach your recipe to the outside.

CHRISTMAS CD – Download a mix of your favorite Christmas songs and create CD’s for your guests. Add a decorative CD label, put into green or red CD sleeves, and close with a Christmas sticker.
