That Makes Cents: Holiday decor

Bring nature inside. Pick up pinecones and branches to fill bowls or vases.

Spruce up red or green towels with ribbon to create a "gift wrapped package" for the bathroom.

Cranberries are an inexpensive way to add a punch of holiday color to any room. Display them alone or as a bright accent.

Place colored ornaments in bowls instead of hanging them on your tree.

Tie cinnamon sticks into bundles to scatter throughout your house for a festive touch and a nice scent.

Arrange candy canes for some sweet and scrumptious decor.

And create an outdoor display using unused boots, blankets, or old sleds for a rustic feeling.

Now that makes cents.
