Delight everyone with a sweet treat spread
Welcome guests to a festive cookie buffet, like this one styled by Jamie Bare (TheCrafting Chicks.com). To do: Use stencils to trace "Fa La La" on a large white posterboard, color in the letters with marker, then hang on a wall. Next, tape patterned-paper party-store fans and lanterns to the wall all around the sign. Push a table underneath, then top it with a plaid tablecloth, trays of cookies, and paper plates. Add cute felt Christmas trees, decorative paper gift boxes, and a vibrant snowflake garland to finish.
▲ Spark creativity with a cookie-decorating station
Get everyone in the spirit by setting out a tray of homemade holiday sugar cookies for guests to decorate, like this one made by Stephanie Eckman (ThePartyDarling.com). Add icing-filled condiment bottles and paper cups filled with sprinkles and sanding sugar, then let the decorating fun begin!
▲ Make them feel special with adorable award boxes
At her party, Bare gifted the winners of the cookie competition boxes filled with treats! To make your own, search "Cookie Exchange Award Printables" at TheCrafting Chicks.com to download free printable ribbons you can assemble and tape to treat-filled boxes.
Add fresh, festive charm with a mixed bunch
