Looking at your Christmas decorations the day before you have guests over and feel something is missing? Try these last-minute high-impact DIY décor ideas.

Ornament-filled vases
This simple décor trick adds festive flair without taking up too much space. Fill a vase or jar with Christmas ornaments for a mantel display or centrepiece. For more, use various-sized baubles, or add greenery.

Wrap the cabinets
Spruce up your kitchen cabinets or front door with Christmas ribbon – take it around the door vertically, close, and tie into a bow in the middle.

Decorate with lights
Place battery-powered fairy lights in a large glass bowl or drape them over your curtain rails to add warmth to your bedroom or living room. Wrap solar lights around outdoor trees for an effective entranceway – and become a Christmas light-contender on your street.

Origami trees
Get creative with origami this holiday season. Not only do these make a fun Christmas tree craft for the little ones, but an effective decorative piece on shelving or a coffee table.
