Modern
Sentiments
Traditional holiday
symbols get a glossy
makeover with simple
shapes and loads of
bright red and white.
BASE A medium-size woven
basket (etuhome.com)
provides a tidier footing
than a tree skirt.
ORNAMENTS Dress
branches with large
red Gobstopper-like
globes mixed with favorite
holiday images. For an
extra-sweet touch,
suspend candy canes
from the frosted boughs.
GARLAND First hang
the strands of lights, and
then dangle a garland
made from felt balls along
the branches.
TOPPER Try a homespun
take on stars with a large
matte wooden version.
DETAILS Stick to solid
wrapping papers except
one coordinating standout
polka-dot pattern.
