Do you want to impress your family and guests during the holidays? Then this ideas to decorate the Christmas table are just right for you! We don’t mean napking folding or candleholders. We are talking about super cute homemade edible Christmas trees made of fruits, vegetables and cookies. They look very impressive, elegant, bright and beautiful at the festive table!

Homemade edible Christmas trees with fruits and vegetables

The first Christmas trees are made ​​of cucumbers, cheese, peppers, lemons, kiwi, grapefruits…They will take only 5 minutes! In half an hour you can “grow” a real forest! These Christmas trees can be also used as decoration for other meals. You can further decorate them with anything: pieces of other vegetables such as tomatoes, red peppers, carrots, corn, cheese, olives and others. Use a cut in half green apple and a wooden skewer for the base. Then start to stick the slices on the skewer in a circle. Start with the largest slices and move gradually to the smaller ones.

 If you love gingerbread cookies and their heavenly smell of holidays, then have a look at this sweet idea for a gingerbread Christmas tree. The ingredients for the dough you can find here.

Do not know how to set a holiday table to please your guests? We are ready to share with you the secrets of Christmas table decor – 4 DIY Christmas table settings to help you originally set the holiday table all by yourself.

2014 was the year of the Wooden horse according to Chinese zodiac, but 2015 is going to be the Year of the Green Wooden Sheep. Various crafts made of wood, statuettes of sheeps on the holiday table will not only create a festive mood , but will also bring good luck in the coming year. If there are no horse figurines, think about wooden spoons, salt cellars, bread bins a wooden cutting board. Sheeps like warmth and comfort.

Color palettes for the DIY Christmas Table Settings

Fragrant evergreens smelling of snow and forest will immediately fill the house with holiday atmosphere. White cloth napkin, fir branches and shimmering silver Christmas ball and silver cutlery are tied together and placed on the dinner plate. You can choose Christmas ornaments in any shad but suitable to the color of the plate.

DIY Christmas Table Settings in Gold and Red

Loyalty to tradition

Red, gold, green – the traditional Christmas colors and just the perfect combination to create a colorful composition. Lay a red napkin – paper or fabric – on a dinner plate. As decoration will serve a green coniferous branch tied with sparkling Christmas garland and Christmas decorations in gold. Simple, but very impressive.

In the glow of gold

Small wish scroll can not only become a pleasant New Year’s surprise for your guests, but also an unusual decorative element. It would look very impressive on a festive ornamented plate. Tie a gold ribbon and decorate the scroll with a Christmas ball in contrasting color. White pearl bead string around the wine glass completes the composition.

Red and white

The combination of red and white is classic. Plain white plates, red linen napkin folded into a tube and tied with an elegant Christmas garland – that’s all the elements that make this exciting and festive Christmas table decor. A red colored wine glass would be a spectacular addition.

Holiday Joy
We’re big fans of nail polish collections in general, and winter is THE season for collections. China Glaze’s Holiday Joy collection is filled with cheery reds, festive green and gold, wintery blue and silver, and fun glitters perfect for New Year’s.

Hanukkah Floam
Hanukkah Floam from Ninja Polish’s Winter 2012 collection has a clear base with a ton of glitter in varying shades of bright blue. Small holographic pieces will catch the candlelight and add an insane amount of sparkle.

French Winter
This look takes three of this year’s trends – French tips, ombre, and metallics – and combines them for a stunning wintertime manicure. Start with a clear base coat, then add a thin gold French tip. Once it’s dry, add another small line of gold on top and while it’s still wet, sponge or drag a silver and gold glitter from the tip of your nail to the middle.

French Christmas
We’ve seen a lot of red and green nail looks, but this is this first Christmas matte French manicure we’ve come across. We love it because it’s fun yet sophisticated; the matte finish tones down shimmery polishes that might be too flashy for your tastes, and the subtle gloss French tip so chic!

French Hanukkah
Colored French tips on bare nails have been a big hit this year. A swipe of a bright glittery blue makes for a quick, easy, and fun Hanukkah look. You can add a tiny star of David by dipping a toothpick in silver polish or by using a silver nail pen.

Wintery Mix
Here’s a super cute style if you celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. Santa hats in Hanukkah blue and silver give you a fun way to style your nails for both of your December holidays.

Sweater Weather
Thick knit sweaters are wonderful in the middle of winter (or fall, winter, and some of spring if you live in Canada). Why not deck your nails with classic sweater print images? If you’re really coordinated, you can try free-handing this look using white polish and a toothpick or small paintbrush. For the rest of us who are all thumbs, we’ll stick with stencils.

Midnight Snow Stamp
Speaking of stencils, you can create really elaborate looks like this one by using stencil and stamp tools. A white stamp on a dark background works really well. You can add garlands of glitter if you like, but it looks just as fabulous without.

Christmas Lights
Okay, we know this look isn’t for everyone, but it’s just so fabulous we had to include it. You already know we love French tips and glittery polish, but the tiny lights? That’s just too amazing.

Green & Gold
We love that dark green is one of the hottest colors of the season. This deep evergreen is “Going Incognito” by Essie, and that stunning large gold glitter polish is “Gold” by Milani. You’ll have to use quite a few coats of the glitter, but just look how beautiful it turns out!

Red & Multi-glitter
In contrast to the colored-nails-with-glitter-accent-nail look, we have the glitter-nails-with-colored-accent-nail look. (We’re still working on a shorter name.) This very well might be our absolute favorite look for the holidays, and with all the gorgeous red and multi-glitter polishes that just came out, we’ll have plenty of choices to play with.
