LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2019

Bough wow! Inserting a few boughs into a large urn in- stantly transforms an entryway from every- day to holiday. Take things up a festive notch by hooking on a few tree ornaments.

EARTH-FRIENDLY OPTION Exceptionally gifted Keeps things simple (and recyclable!) sticking with craft paper for wrapping all your gifts. Adorn each one individually with hand-drawn designs or use rubber stamps. Then attach a sprig with a hot glue gun or twine. Sprinkle with a little faux snow.

Cheap and chic Instead of more formal place cards and holders, simply write each guest’s name on a strip of Washi Tape (available at craft stores) then use to attach small pieces of green- ery to add a holiday hue at each place setting.

Bespoke beauty Enjoy the beauty of a natural tree on a small- er scale. Lop off the base for a height that suits your space per- fectly—even the end of a large branch will work. Set inside a leak-proof container, as you’ll need to water regularly, add a bow and you’re done!

Festive lights Wondering what to put on your mantle or win- dow ledge? Set white tealights inside small glass jam jars, then tie a tiny sprig dangling down from the rim with ribbon (making use of small strips left over from gift wrapping).
