Make a wreath guests will get hung up on. Start with a real or faux evergreen wreath and try one of these twists on tradition. Go beyond red and green with some rainbow-colored ornaments. Add clusters of dried citrus fruit slices and cinnamon sticks for a more fragrant display. Make it sophisticated with small, gold spray-painted, star cookie cutters. Tie on bunches of dried florals in various colors to display all winter long.

You don’t need evergreen everywhere. Switch things up with a fresh eucalyptus garland. Keep away from direct light and heat sources.

Arrange trimmed evergreen branches and juniper berries in small white vases from Hy-Vee. Every spot is special at your holiday table!

Nestle this neighborhood on your mantle. Cut house shapes from 1/2-inch-thick foam core, cover with brown craft paper, and draw on details in pencil. Outline details with white dimensional paint and let dry. Stand houses up with a foam core easel.

Oh, Tannenbaum! Pour dark green acrylic paint on a paper plate. Dip Christmas-tree-shaped cookie cutters in the paint and stamp them on a solid white tea towel. Repeat in a pattern. For variation, fill in trees using a paintbrush or make ornaments with the tip of a pencil.

Evergreen to ever great! Take a fresh evergreen bouquet from Hy-Vee, and add leaves of magnolia or balsam for shape and color.

Scents of the season. Tie a single rosemary sprig around a white cloth napkin using twine. Place at each setting for a fresh, fragrant welcome to the table.

Star light. Star bright. Using fishing wire, string together a group of purchased or DIY paper stars in gold, silver or white. Hang them high to create a starry “sky.”
