Design a Holiday Furniture Piece

Adding some holiday flair to a piece of furniture is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Furthermore, creating your own winter-themed masterpiece will provide you or your loved ones keepsake to enjoy for years to come.
Start with an unfinished furniture piece. For this project, we’d recommend a smaller piece, such as a chair, bench, coffee table or even a nightstand. Start by planning your design and what colors you’ll need. You could keep it as simple as using a red and green motif, or get more intricate with holiday-themed designs like holly, snowflakes, ornaments or whatever your favorite symbols of the season are!
