To mimic icy branches, we used acrylic tubing and wintry blue beads.

Add strategic ribbon, and a mini quilt becomes a handy travel case for all your bits and baubles—and at just 20 by 10 inches, it's an unintimidating project for those with entry-level sewing skills. Pair it with a matching Drawstring Jewelry Pouch.

These puffer coats are just as cozy other conventional options, but their filling is a sustainable marvel.

If you like to live on the bright side, dress up your colorful patterned plates with matte-finish flatware and a charming bow topper: Cinch a napkin in the middle using a playful elastic adorned with wooden beads. Add a circle name tag for each guest to round out the look.
