And yes, September IS a good time to start thinking about this
I have a large Ikea glass hurricane jar that I part fill with green glass chips, a chunky candle and ivy from the garden
I grow ivy in pots then put them into gold or silver sprayed pots and a faux flame candle for safety (some of the faux flames are really good quality now)
Ice-Bowl: boil water a couple of times (to make the ice clear), cool, then put a couple of inches in a large freezable bowl. Freeze solid, put a smaller bowl inside , secure with ducktape. You can put berries,holly leaves between the two bowls, fill the gap with the water and freeze till needed.
Then put a candle inside and let it sparkle (I put this outside so I don't get a load of water everywhere)
I have a bunch of decorative keys (garden ornament) that I'm going to spray gold and hang on festive ribbon) my DC are too old for Santas Keys but it's pretty. I might put this on the fireplace
I glue gold or silver confetti stars onto fishing line then hang from the stairwell
Jars painted with frosted spray for garden candles ( patterns of stars or reindeer if you're craft-ey)
Any other ideas?
