Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

Christmas is right around the corner, so what better time than now to share a few easy and simple ideas to help with last-minute Christmas decorating.

If you have some ribbon, a few empty jars or vases and some extra Christmas decorating items then I’m sure you can bring these together too!

I’m using everything that I’m sharing today in my kitchen but they are honestly ideas that you can use anywhere in your home.

Ok, lets get started…

Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

I love faux flowers so it’s no surprise that I pulled a few out to help with these decorations.

Here I’m using two hydrangeas that I used back in spring along with a few small poinsettias. An old recycled jar holds all those flowers together and some ribbon ends up wrapped around my jar and this one is done.

This next one is so simple but kind of a classic. I mean, who doesn’t like filling up containers with Christmas ornaments!

Red Christmas ball ornaments fill up a large mason jar that I wrap with that red and white ribbon also used with my hydrangeas and that’s it for this one.

I found that red and white (Dollar Store) ribbon so beautiful and couldn’t help but use it on practically all of my kitchen decorations.

Here I wrapped an old glass lotion bottle with my ribbon then filled that up with a few red glittered berry stems.

Last year I used these candy canes to decorate this same area in my kitchen and really loved it so I decided to use them again and just change it up a bit with some gold ribbon and then scatter them around a bit more compared to last year.

Lastly, a single pine cone ends up in a small drinking glass, a white candle in a jar with gold curling ribbon, and that’s it for my easy and simple Christmas decorating ideas.

Hope you enjoyed these easy and simple Christmas decorating ideas.

Red and White Pom Pom Christmas Garland

Red and White Pom Pom Christmas Garland

They’re round, fuzzy, and oh so tiny.

They must be related to that well-known nail polish remover, the cotton ball.

And for some reason, the creator of this cute little fuzzball decided they must resemble a cheerleader’s number one accessory…

They’re called Pom Poms!

And you know what?

These little guys seem to be working overtime for the holidays. I’ve seen them in use for so many different things…

Wreaths, garlands, vase fillers, and even as ribbon to wrap gifts.

So when I saw them at my Dollar Store, I had to grab them.

I decided I would use my Pom Poms to make a garland for the holidays and it ended up being so easy to make.

ok let’s jump right in and get this easy red and white Christmas garland done and up for the holidays!

Here we go…

Red and White Pom Pom Christmas Garland

Red and White Pom Pom Christmas Garland - The Semi Organized Ant

Here’s what I used:

Red and white Pom Poms

These came in two separate bags (from the Dollar Store) each containing 80 Pom Poms.

Fishing Line

I used fishing line for a transparent look (and I had some at home that I wanted to make use of) but you can also use white or red thread. I’ve also seen these on ribbon.

Sewing Needle

Scissor

Here’s what I did:

First I ran my thread through the needle eye and tied a knot to keep it in place.

Then I started adding my Pom Poms to the fishing wire with the needle.

I kept adding Pom Poms, following the pattern below, two red Pom Poms, one white Pom Pom, and so on.

Alternating red and white would look great too!

Once I had my desired length I simply cut the string off (no knotting or anything special needed at the end of the string)…

and on to my living room blinds they went!

To keep them up on the blinds I simply tucked a few of the Pom Poms behind the blinds (at the very top of my blinds) and so far they are holding up with no problem.

and that’s it! Hope you enjoyed this easy Pom Pom DIY garland.
