Sure, the stores are filled with beautiful pre-made decorations this time of year. But do you really want your home to look like everyone else's?

We asked some HGTV designers what they could easily create out of two cheap, easy-to-find Christmas decorations: glass balls and cranberries, faux or real.

Here are their designs:

WREATH CENTERPIECE

By Frank Fontana, host of "Design on a Dime"

Supplies

» Old red Christmas balls (medium to small) and a few gold and bronze for additional color

» Cranberry garland

» Shimmery or glittered gold and bronze leaves pulled off other old ornaments for filler

» Foam floral ring as a base

» Hot glue gun

» Spray paint in antique gold color

Spray paint foam floral ring gold. Once dry, wrap cranberry garland around floral ring to evenly cover as much of surface as possible. Randomly insert red ornaments into sides of foam ring using hot glue and slight pressure (be careful not to damage the ornaments). Glue leaves on to fill in blank areas of ring. Fill center of the ring with extra red, gold and bronze ornaments. (You can also fill the open center area with a bowl of holiday candy or guacamole.)

WINE GLASS JEWELRY

By Kim Myles, host of "Myles of Style" and a designer from "HGTV's Home for the Holidays" special

Supplies

» Wine or martini glasses

» 8 (per glass) mini Christmas ball ornaments (pre-wired)

Create a strand of mini Christmas balls by twisting one ball onto the wire of a second ball. Keep the balls close together, like pearls on a necklace. (You don't want to see excess wire.) Keep adding balls until you've strung eight together. Wrap the strand of balls around the base of the glass several times, securing the wire ends together to keep it in place.

CRANBERRY VASE

By Angelo Surmelis, host of "Rate My Space" and designer from "HGTV's Home for the Holidays"

Supplies

» Two clear glass vases or tall bowls of similar size, but one slightly smaller in diameter and height than the other (one should fit into the other)

» Favorite flowers, preferably white

» Fresh cranberries

Fill smaller vase with water and place inside large one. Fill gap between the vases with cranberries all the way to the top, so smaller vase is no longer visible. Arrange flowers in the center vase.
