Instead of hanging your Christmas ornaments on the same old tree, switch things up by suspending them from the ceiling above your dining table. It's a simple yet striking way to bring your Christmas tablescape to life, adding festive charm right over a spread of holiday delicacies.

To recreate this holiday decoration, all you need is a nylon thread - Drene uses a fishing line - securely tied to your ornament. Knot the other end to a push pin and carefully fix it into the ceiling. Just make sure it's attached firmly, so your festive decor stays safely in place and doesn't come raining down on your head at dinnertime.
This DIY requires firm red decorative paper or red ribbons, a pair of scissors, some hot glue and a bit of craftsmanship. Once ready, it works beautifully for dressing up hall archways or doorways, and pairs perfectly with wreaths or lush green tree branches for a classic Christmassy look.

To create this décor piece, cut the ribbon or paper into equal lengths, as shown, and attach each strip in an interlocked loop using a hot glue gun. Once you reach the desired length, drape it along hallways or doorways to instantly add a festive, Christmassy touch.
A truly versatile Christmas ornament, this can be attached to your Christmas tree, used as a wall hanging, or styled along doorways. It also pairs beautifully with other festive décor elements like wreaths and ribbons. All you need to make it are a few earbuds, some glue and a touch of glitter.
A post shared by Yulia Misiurenko (@warmplacee__)
Start by cutting off the cotton tips from both ends of several earbuds, trimming away the shaft so each piece has just the cotton tip attached. Take one intact, uncut earbud and glue these cotton-tip pieces along its shaft on both sides. Make five such units, then attach them together at the centre to form a snowflake shape. Apply glue over the entire piece and dust it with glitter. Once it dries, your DIY snowflake is ready to shine!
Perfect for cosy corners or as a centrepiece on your Christmas table, this DIY décor idea effortlessly captures warm, festive vibes. All you need is a rounded glass bowl, a few cedar branches, small red ball accents - Morgan uses cranberries, though faux ones will last longer and avoid mess - and some floating candles to complete the look.
A post shared by Morgan Winton (@ourwintonhome)
This decor piece comes together in just minutes. Simply fill the bowl with water - leaving a little space at the top - then submerge the cedar branches and add the red accents. To finish, gently place the floating candles on the water and light them for an instantly cosy, festive glow.
Another hanging decor option, this one is perfect if you're looking to add a slightly offbeat, whimsical touch to your Christmas party. All you need are a few balloons, coloured tulle fabric, ribbons and fairy lights to bring the look together beautifully.
A post shared by BlossomedEvents (@blossomedevents)
Elevate your hallways or staircases with this playful decoration. Start by blowing up balloons in different sizes and set them aside. Cut the tulle into square pieces based on the size of each balloon, then wrap the fabric around the balloons and secure it with a ribbon. Once ready, attach them to strings suspended from the ceiling or weave them into fairy lights for a soft, whimsical festive effect.
