Go all in on red: 6 charming ways to redden up your home for Christmas
Make room for elves, and don't forget the color red! Grab these red Christmas ideas that come with a touch of elf magic.
1. One ornament a day
Hang a playful ornament calendar in the window. Each day, attach one ornament to a ribbon. Tie each one to ribbons of different lengths to give the display a nice rhythm.
2. A bottle of mulled wine
Give old glass bottles a second life by serving mulled wine in them. Tie on a pretty red bow and add a matching ornament. Cheers to Christmas!
3. Take a peek in the stocking
A Christmas stocking makes the wait for Christmas even more exciting. Hang one as a decoration, and at night an elf might tuck a surprise inside.
4. Paint a set
With some paint, turn mismatched candleholders into an Advent candle set. By using numbers and a uniform color, the different candleholders will look like a group.
5. A toadstool touch
Use candle paint to add white dots to pomegranates, and set candles into them. You can also paint red apples to match the look. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
6. A stitched beauty
An embroidered piece finished with lights is a joy to showcase every year at Christmas. Sketch the motif on fabric and stitch the pattern using satin and knot stitches.
