Decoration Ideas
Indoor living areas
Fill a colorless glass bowl or sphere with Christmas lights.
Decorate your indoor plants with Christmas lights. If you use battery-operated
lights, you won?t have to worry about having a plug socket nearby. You could
even hang small Christmas ornaments on your plants. Decorating plants you
already have is ideal if you don?t have space for a traditional Christmas tree.
Tie wide-ribboned bows around the pots of your plants.
Put pieces of holly, preferably with berries, on the tops of the picture frames
on your walls.
Wrap a long tinsel garland around your stairway banister.
Drape tinsel over the tops of the picture frames on your walls. You could hang
a light-weight bauble at either end.
Make a paper chain garland by gluing strips of red and green paper to make
connected rings. These chains can be hung on your Christmas tree or anywhere
else in your house.
Fill a large glass dish with water and add some floating candles. Remember that
you should never leave lit candles unattended.
If you want to create an old-fashioned display around your fireplace, consider
hanging regular, long socks (preferably red or green) instead of the wider
Christmas ?stockings? that you find in Christmas decoration departments.
If you have a fireplace, but don?t use it, place a roughly tangled set a
Christmas lights where the logs or coal would normally be.
Fill a decorative bowl with pinecones, acorns, and dried fruit, such as orange
slices and clove-studded pomanders.
Fill a glass bowl with baubles. This will make a lovely table centerpiece.
Make a Christmas display on the top of your piano or mantelpiece. You can use
anything you like, such as lights, (artificial) pine garland, baubles,
Christmas cards, fake snow, model village buidlings, etc.
Christmas tree ornaments
Make little ?parcels? to hang on your tree by wrapping empty matchboxes (or any
other small boxes you may have) with Christmas paper. Use ribbons or string to
create a parcel effect and a loop for hanging. If your tree has a color scheme,
choose paper and ribbons that will match your existing ornaments. If you have
kids, you may want to fill the boxes with small gifts or candies before you
wrap them. Just make sure there are no matches still inside the boxes! For fire
safety reasons, make sure that the boxes don?t touch any Christmas lights.
Hang Christmas cards you have received on your Christmas tree. Hang larger
cards near the bottom and smaller cards near the top of your tree. Again, for
fire safety reasons, make sure that the cards don?t touch any Christmas lights.
Make small red and green yarn pom pom ornaments. You could mix in some silver
or gold-colored yarn to add extra sparkle.
Windows and windowsills
Make paper snowflakes and hang them in your windows (inside) using very thin
string, wire, or cotton. Alternatively, stick them to the inside of your
windows using white tack. You could also hang them on your Christmas tree
Cut out star shapes from cardboard and cover them with aluminum foil (shiny
side up). Like with the snowflakes, use them to decorate your windows or
Christmas tree.
Lay or hang Christmas lights along the windowsill of your front room. You and
passers-by outside will enjoy their festive glow.
Doors
Wrap Christmas lights around your Christmas wreath. Make sure that they are
suitable for use outdoors if your wreath is outside.
Instead of hanging a wreath on your door, hang a bunch of holly, ivy, berries,
and mistletoe, tied together with a red bow.
Garden
Decorate a tree or bush in your front garden with Christmas lights. Make sure
that they are suitable for use outdoors.
Hang shatterproof baubles on a tree or bush in your garden. Shatterproof
baubles are becoming increasingly popular for safety reasons.
