A lot of public spaces don't let you put any decorations up but there happened to be a hook on that wall just perfect for an old wreath. All I needed to do was make a quick bow to brighten it up a bit. This time of year you can find a lot of decorations on recycling sites for free. Even without cash there's ALWAYS something you can do to brighten things up.
Crocheting can be useful. I made the afghan we tossed over the organ and a friend crocheted the mats under the centerpieces. Yes, in the background is one of those old fireplace videos to help set the mood in the room.
The centerpieces themselves are just made from chunks of birch bark, bits of ribbon and holiday greens.(these are cloth and plastic but you can use anything you've got) There's a small hole drilled in the top for a battery operated candle. The greens are stapled on the side and a bow is tied around it to hide the staple. They're 3 of my favorite things: Fast, Easy and cheap.
looks nice
