Holiday decorations need to be big, bold, colorful and sophisticated. Here's a great inexpensive way to take a large footed vase, previously used to hold a hand tied bouquet of flowers and greenery, discussed here, and use it with the holiday. Start with a sparkling clean vase. Place a sprig of fresh greenery on the bottom of the vase, then lay a large round Christmas ornament in the vase. Over sized ornaments are available at Ornament Heaven, Nancy Thomas, as well as locally at Target or other sites which promote holiday decorating. The ornaments in the photo were purchased at a Home Depot for very little, are made of plastic for outdoor use, and look great in the vase. While various colors are available, the balls in the vase are gold and deep red. Silver and blue ornaments are available for Hanukkah.
After three balls are placed in the vase, add more fresh greenery and place in a prominent location for all to see. Sit back and wait for the "ohhh's and ahhh's," as holiday guests are impressed with your creative side. When time is of the essence, a large footed vase, available at Pottery Barn, Target, or Restoration Hardware, filled with over sized ornaments fills the bill.
