All it takes to transform ordinary drinking glasses into pretty candle holders is a bit of tissue paper and glue.

It doesn't get much better than candy on cupcakes.

This cute idea from the new book Kids in the Holiday Kitchen has an incredibly easy way to make cupcakes look like Christmas ornaments.

Also, in the book are recipes for these cupcakes and instructions for Marshmallow Snowmen, Ice Cream Treewitches and more to inspire kids of all ages to get into the kitchen and get creative!

 Even though we may have sung "The Little Drummer Boy" for years, the

exact lyrics may escape us. Provide songbooks for guests to refer to

when caroling.

Go green for the holidays with your very own DIY tree--one for every room of the house.

Have to set a holiday table for a last-minute party? Recycle last year's tree ornaments (or pick them off from your current tree) and reuse them as the centerpiece of your holiday table.

If you're dreaming of a white Christmas this year, but Mother Nature is not as cooperative, you can still recreate a postcard-perfect scene with some creative window dressing.

There's no better time than the holiday season to break out the potpourri. But it's much more fun to customize and make your own.

Who doesn't love snow globes? They're cute, magical winter wonderlands in glass. And they make for fun crafts projects for kids.

If you've recently took on a home decorating project this is a great way to use up your leftovers and samples.
