What a clever idea from Better Homes and Gardens. Just stitch two cotton Christmas towels together and attach ribbons on the side for tying to the chairs. Next year for sure!!
And one more great idea from BHG. This one I can definitely put together this year!

I wanted something for my dining room table that was tall, easy to move off the table (when we're eating), and CHEAP. Walmart had foil wrapping paper for $2.44 and wire ribbon for $1.27. I simply wrapped some gift boxes, taped them together, and tied the ribbon around them. As for the decorations on the wall behind the centerpiece, those are thick, felt window decorations from the 99 Cent Store (2 for $0.99). I hung them from some leftover Costco ribbon (sooo much left over!) and thumb tacked them on the wall. Now all I need is a little ham and scalloped potatoes!!

Here is a fun and quick idea to add some girlie funk to a Christmas gift. Take a little piece of craft boa (sold on the roll) and tie it in the center of some curling ribbon. Easy peasy!
