A Red Christmas
Many traditional images from Christmas can be used when working within a monochromatic red color scheme for your Christmas decorations. Red and green are the two most traditional Christmas colors. Red appears in many holiday characters and candies, as well as the traditional Christmas flower, the Poinsettia and those ubiquitous holly berries.
- Rudolph the Reindeer's Red Nose
- Santa Claus' Suit and Hat
- Nut Crackers and Wooden Soldiers
- Candy Canes
- Peppermints
- Apples
- Chili Peppers
- Poinsettias
- Amaryllis
- Cranberries
- Hypernicum Berries
New House of Art has an imaginative article (with a number of different styles and colors represented) concerning creative Christmas candles. Check candycane and holly wrapped candles and candles floating in bowls with berries.
Red Candles
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without candles. The holiday season is the time to break out scented candles wafting gingerbread, evergreen and cinnamon scents. Votives in colored glass, pillar candles, floating candles, candelabras. 'Tis the season to break them all out! Candlelight is suited particularly well to a red Christmas decor theme.

Red Christmas Decorating Ideas
from Martha Stewart
Learn how to easily make these Christmas-themed hurricane candle holders from Martha Stewart's website. Print off and cut out the design template provided at the link, place it inside the votive and then trace the cut-outs with glue on the outer portion of the hurricane votive. Next, sprinkle the hurricane glass with glitter and leave it to dry. Leave some glitter sprinkled around the base of the candle, placed on a glass cake stand.
This look is easy to pull together. Martha Stewart details how to secure faux, red glittered holly leaves to the bobeches of your chandelier with candle adhesive using a hot glue gun to secure more of them to the tops of red ornaments that hang from a beaded garland strand draped from the same chandelier.
No need to purchase any special vases to complete this candy-striped look for your red and white amaryllis flowers. Consult Martha Stewart on how to create these peppermints vases from glass vases covered in pearlescent or vellum paper and finished with a red ribbon.
Nothing complicated here: Just bright red carnations and red napkins against a pale table cloth.Complete Some Of The Red Christmas Crafts Above

Red Christmas Decorating Ideas
Country Living Magazine and Martha Stewart
Country Living Magazine advises you to group your collection of Santa figurines in close proximity, gluing some to a wreath with a hot glue gun for added effect.
In the same article (slide #43) Country Living Magazine advises you to give your bowl of Amaryllis blossoms a half turn once every three days to ensure straight growth of the stems. Another tip: use an ironstone bowl - you'll get a riot of growth 
In slide #63 of yet the same Country Living Magazine article, you take amaryllis buds and place them in small jars of water whilst affixing them to your Christmas tree with wire.
Going back to Martha Stewart for tips, she suggests making an advent calendar with all those little newborn socks hung from ribbon. CUTE.Red Christmas Decor
Here are both pictures of storefronts and people homes where a red Christmas decorating theme has been employed. Note how the home decor colors complement the red Christmas decor and also the use of accent colors (particularly gold and white).
Red Christmas Flowers
Poinsettia, Amaryllis
Poinsettias are perhaps the most recognizable Christmas flowers, but Amaryllis flowers are quickly becoming a contender for most popular Christmas color. Choose red or white or even a combination for a "peppermint" effect.

Red Christmas Trees
Aside from the usual "red" Christmas trees with red ornaments and red lights, my searches over the year have pulled up poinsettia arrangements stacked in a conical "tree shape" and cone-shaped grids with red ornaments hanging on them. Check out my running tab on red Christmas "trees" I've found online.
Red-themed Christmas Trees
Martha Stewart of course can show us how to do this simply beautiful red and white Christmas tree on the cheap.She advises us to make candy holder ornaments out of card stock, ribbons, glitter and glue. She even provides you with the same template used for the candy baskets on this tree
Unbreakable trees are good for little Christmas revelers and of course Martha walks us through the creation of these toddler-safe ornaments Read all about how she made sure these boughs won't break with paper ornaments, paper chains, garlands of popcorn and a supported tree.

Better Homes & Gardens
Make sure your gifts are as much a part of your Christmas decor as your flowers, Christmas tree, lights and stockings. Better Homes and Garden magazine shows you how to make beautiful handmade bows. Of course, these bows can be used on more than just gifts: Use them on Christmas wreaths, as Christmas tree ornaments, etc...
Red Christmas Gift Wrapping
Crimson red bows, claret ribbon, scarlet wrapping paper..
If you're going to all the trouble of decorating your home in a red color scheme for Christmas, you don't want to leave out the presents. Be sure to deck them out in shades of red as well.
Red Tissue Wrapping Paper
Red Christmas Gift Bags
No wrapping required
Red Christmas Wreathes
Wreaths don't have to be made of greenery. Some of the items you can tint red and use in a Christmas wreath include: round tree ornament balls, pinecones, sleigh bells, berries, ribbons, bows, miniture wrapped gift packages, toys, ABC blocks.. The possibilities are endless.
Red Christmas Garlands
Christmas garlands offer you another avenue to get creative with for your Christmas decorating. I particularly like this idea for Santa's Clothes Line as a Christmas Garland.
Kids would probably have fun putting that one together.
