Frame and Ornament Display

Transform an empty frame into Christmas wall art. Thread a glass ball ornament onto a narrow length of ribbon. Tie the ends together and tack to the back of a wooden picture frame so the ball hangs in the middle. Hang the frame on the wall from a pretty ribbon tied in a secure bow.

Editor's Tip: For instant artwork, frame scraps of wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper, as shown in the frames flanking the middle one.

Christmas Greetings Board

Turn your Christmas cards into a work of art. Wrap a bulletin board with batting and cover with fabric. Using a disappearing-ink fabric marker, draw a snowflake design in the center of the fabric-covered board. Tack ribbon or twill tape along the snowflake lines, then cover the thumbtacks with decorative buttons using hot glue.

Editor's Tip: Use neutral tan, ivory, or blue fabric and keep the bulletin board in season all winter long.

Wire Christmas Tree Wall Decoration

Turn a seasonal symbol into festive wall art by crafting a Christmas tree out of ball ornaments and wire. Create the tree from sections of crafts wire, then make S-shape ornament holders from smaller sections of wire and hang ornaments on the tree. Add a glittery star to mimic a tree topper. Hang the wire tree on the wall. Make the ornament tree into art by framing it. Top the frame with a bow.

Winter White Medallions

Ceiling medallions become wall art when hung en masse. Choose inexpensive reproductions of classic patterns -- they're lighter than plaster originals. Add ribbons to medallions with center cutouts. Hang with adhesive hooks. To add more holiday flair to the display, hang ball ornaments from fishing wire in front of the medallions.

Holiday Dinner Plate Wreath

Who says holiday wreaths have to be made from foliage? Here, a collection of blue-and-white dinner plates is arranged into a one-of-a-kind holiday wreath. Save yourself time next year by arranging the plate wreath on a square of plywood. Spray-paint the plywood a coordinating color and hot-glue the plates to the board.

Joyful Plate Display

Turn your favorite holiday word into a beautiful wall display. Spell out a festive word on plain plates, pair them with red-and-white plates, and arrange on a wall. For the J, O, and Y plates, use your home computer to print letters in your favorite font. Trace the letters onto plain white plates, using paint pens and fill in.

Advent Calendar with Envelopes

Create a super-simple Advent calendar from a pegboard, colored envelopes, and number stickers. Fill envelopes with holiday messages, candy, or small gifts and seal with number stickers.

Classic Christmas Mantel

Create a winter-inspired mantel display with a secondhand gate and festive foliage. An ornate wrought-iron gate is a beautiful wall display on its own, but add a wreath, ribbon, and garland and it turns into welcoming holiday art. Just prop the gate against the wall, loop a wide ribbon through a lightweight wreath, and tie it onto the gate.
