Why buy bows when you can make them from something more interesting? Next time you have a present to give consider making it extra sweet with a handmade bow made from a bag of candy. Simply pinch the candy bag in the middle using a rubber band or ribbon to create the bow. Then use another ribbon to attach to the present.

The thought of assembling a duvet can be daunting. Try this hack for a quicker method. Lay the duvet inside out with the opening at the foot of the bed. Spread the comforter or insert overtop of the duvet so that the edges line up. Next, roll up the duvet and comforter starting at the head of the bed and rolling it into one long roll at the foot of the bed. Slide your hand into the opening of the duvet and flip it over one end of the roll so that the right side of the duvet is in view. Do the same on the other side and in the middle. Now simply unroll the duvet and comforter back up to the head of the bed.

If you want to achieve that full, overstuffed look when it comes to your pillows try using a pillow insert one size larger than the pillow case.

Fresh, beautiful centerpieces can be costly. Save money without sacrificing the impact by using greenery such as eucalyptus. Not only will the eucalyptus add a wonderful aroma to the room but the cuttings will last approximately 2-3 weeks when watered appropriately. When the centerpiece is no longer needed hang the eucalyptus to dry for continued decor options.

Feather and down pillows can often leave behind unwanted feathers. One way of keeping the feathers from escaping is by using a pillowcase that has a higher thread count than the pillow insert. The feathers will have a tougher time wiggling out of the insert.
