Oh, sure, you can string them and put them on the tree as garland, but there’s so many more ways to use cranberries to decorate for the holidays. Here’s just a few ideas from BGH:

Add them to glass cylinders for a festive nest for candles. (I particularly like how you can get varying heights using the same candles.)

A fireplace with white stockings and red candles on top.

Use a fluted cake pan or gelatin mold to make a frozen cranberry wreath. Of course, the climate in which you live would come into play here or you’d have a red puddle at your front door.

These luminaries are glass vases filled with SnoWonder (fake snow), then a layer of cranberries were put down and topped with a chubby candle. Very elegant!

Three Christmas tea candles with one in the forefront and two in the background.

A mistletoe made of a styrofoam ball, leaves and a few cranberries here and there is sure to get people smooching.

Ornament made from different types of leaves and berries.

Make add cranberries and water to a metal baking pan. When frozen, chip the sheet apart for festive ice bucket ice chips.

Using pearl-head pins and a foam cone produces some mod trees. Perfect for a mantle or table- scape.
