If you haven't started decorating your home or apartment by now, you should probably get a move on. Unless you are one of those people who leaves their decorations up until New Years (or later), then maybe you want to save the festive decor until closer to Christmas. Either way, here are a few of my favorite ideas that require little to no craft ability. Don't worry, you won't have to run to Hobby Lobby to purchase a hot glue gun and all the glitter left in stock. Because, to be honest, all of the crafters were working on their table centerpieces at Halloween and have wiped the shelves clean of all trendy crafting supplies. So let's work with what we have, shall we?
Some simple and elegant ideas include: Cranberries and candles floating in water; ornaments, Wine glasses and candles; wrapped presents at each place setting (If you are feeling extra festive, you could wrap everyone's gift and set it at their place at the table. Or just wrap presents for show.); Candles and jingle bell centerpiece.

Love the pic, bottom right, the candles and silver bells. Really effective.
these look easy enough for even ME to try! ;) ive gotta get on the decorating ball (pun intended)..
haha you and be both. Since I was only in my apartment at school for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving, it wasn't worth bringing all of my decorations and I can't wait to get back home to a festive living room.
I love it too. I love when candles make up 90% of the centerpiece. The warm light makes the room that much more cozy and inviting.
The cranberries and a floating candle is beautiful. Super easy.
I love the floating cranberries and candles idea! Its such a great way to add color, light, and height to you centerpiece!
I LOVE the wine glasses with candles and ornaments! I haven't see that one yet. I am one of those poor suckers who haven't set aside time to decorate yet, but I'm going to give those a try this week. Thanks for finding unique ideas that don't break the bank!
I love all those different candle set-ups! Candles are one of my favorite ways to decorate--largely because my husband loves them a lot, and otherwise I don't think he'd be too interested in decor!
anything you can do to get him to help you decorate for the holidays is great! and they're such an easy way to decorate a space.
you're quite welcome! i was sad that i was only in my apartment at school for two weeks after thanksgiving. i didn't have enough time to really make the space festive before i had to move out. next year though!
i agree!
