House plants love to be decorated! Purchase a plant the appropriate size for your table and decorate with bows, miniature candy canes and small glass bulbs. You can even purchase a strand of lights with a battery pack so you don’t have to plug them into the wall and worry about tripping over the cord. Not very practical, anyway.

Another great Christmas table decorating idea is to make a three piece Christmas tree topiary set. It’s inexpensive to make and you can complete in within just a few hours. This is my kind of project. Instant gratification!

Buy lots of those inexpensive shiny ball ornaments. The colors are entirely up to you. The dollar store is a great place to look. Here’s the scary part, but fun too. Place several in a plastic zip lock bag and crush! Yes, you read correctly. Crush all the bulbs you just bought and use the ones that are already broken. If you’re like me, you’re sure to find a few that got crushed in the storage process last year! Fill a clear glass vase up to the top with these glittery remanants. Arrange long stemmed silk flowers in the vase. If possible, set the vase on a table mirror to magnify the sparkle. There you have it, and unusual Christmas table decorating idea that dinner guest are sure to comment on.

Wrap a medium sized square box with metallic wrapping paper. Add a tasteful ribbon or bow. Cut a slit in the top. Provide slips of paper for house guests and family members to write a little note on each day and slip into the box. This is a table centerpiece you can open like a gift on Christmas Day. This is a very practical Christmas table decorating idea for families with small children. It is attractive, yet it will survive getting tossed onto the floor.

Stack Christmas mugs upside down on top of each other in several tiers. Tie small bows on each handle and squeeze a packet of cocoa or chai tea mix into each cup before stacking. Offer to each guest that stops by or enjoy as a treat for yourself. Be sure cups have a nice broad base and are stout enough for stacking or one bump of the table could send them flying!

Spray a terra cotta pot with gold metallic spray paint. Find a symmetrical tree branch and spray with the metallic paint too. Plug the hole in the bottom of the pot with packing or electrical tape. Mix plaster of paris according to package directions and pour into the terra cotta pot. Allow to set slightly and then push the painted tree branch down through the middle so the branches stick up like it’s growing out of the pot. Tie various Christmas decorating glass ornaments to the branches with ribbons.
