As you know, there are a number of things that you can use to help add a personal touch to your home. Primarily, I am referring to outdoor décor products like cupolas, finials, weathervanes and other beautiful items to you can install at your own homes. While these are excellent options for enhancing the look of your home, there are a number of things you can find around your home to help give your home a creative spin. Here are some thoughts about what you can do:

- If you put a tree up in your home during the holidays, use some items from the forest to create ornaments as decorations for your tree. You can paint pine cones and attach them to a ribbon as a beautiful addition to your tree. Concerned about the sticky sap left on your fingers? Bake the cones on your oven’s lowest setting for under an hour before you begin the project.

- Dry flowers and leaves as an accent for wreathes you might put up during the holidays. Attach the backs of these dried natural items to thin wire and wrap the wreathes. This is a nice touch you won’t see on a lot of other holiday décor.

- If you save plastic bottles for recycling, you can cut these up and change their shape to look like faux glass ornaments. This looks great, especially when you focus on various winter shapes like snowflakes and icicles.

- You probably have a container of popping corn sitting in your cupboard that you never use. Cook up a bunch of popcorn and string it up with cranberries to make a wonderful length of garland that can be placed anywhere in your home.

- Make sure that you dress up your home’s tables if you’re having a holiday party or family gathering. It will add a sense of the holidays to your festivities!
