Table Displays
Make a cool display or centerpiece using a bowl, a cloche, a tray or a punch bowl and lights. Fill the piece with lights and you’ll get a holiday display! Another idea is to fill it with pinecones or ornaments or both and hide lights between them. The bowl or the tray will give a style to your display: it may be rustic, modern, antique or any other. Add large crystals to the display, they will reflect and multiply the light.

Branches And Trees
Yes, we all decorate Christmas trees with lights but what about just some branches or a different tree, for example, a birch tree? They will look also wintry and cute, display branches in floor or table vases, in galvanized buckets or anywhere else. The branches may be whitewashed for a wonderland feel, or usual ones for a rustic touch.
