The bonus? You don’t need to spend a small fortune to give your house a festive upgrade for the holiday season. In fact, you probably have most of the trimmings you need already in your kitchen or in your backyard. If you’re ready to start decking your halls for the holiday season (and don’t have time to watch Mr. Christmas), these are the key holiday decorating takeaways you can use. Anchor small trees into pots with a layer of oranges and cranberries, hot glue tree-shaped pasta to cones to make a festive tree, and layer espresso beans onto a tray so you can nestle Christmas cookies into it. Outdoors, popcorn balls attached to a string, or ribbon, can be natural ornaments that help bring the birds to your yard.
