Christmas Decorations to Brighten Your Home
On
Has Christmas crept up on you this year and now you don’t have time to purchase Christmas decorations? Don’t let the lack of store-bought accessories ruin your holiday! You can still deck the halls and create a festive mood with these three last-minute homemade decorating ideas.
Stunning Centerpiece
Create a simple yet stunning centerpiece for any holiday meal by filling a clear glass vase with silver or gold Christmas baubles. You can add interest by filling multiple vases of various sizes and then arranging them in a beautiful arrangement on top of a seasonal table runner. If you don’t enough ornaments to fill the vases completely, try adding a thick layer of tinsel on the bottom.
Candles
Nothing makes a room feel cozier than candlelight. You can turn down the lights when you make Christmas candle holders from glass jars. Fill a Mason or any other decorative jar with water and float a tea candle on top. Try coloring the water with food dye and or tying a large bow around the middle of the jar to create something which looks spectacular.
Holiday Wall Art
Are you feeling a bit creative? Holiday wall art is the perfect way to brighten your home and share your creative flair with the ones you love. Use a stencil or trace seasonal a few designs such as reindeer, Santa or Frosty on Christmas wrapping paper. Cut out the designs and paste each on a separate small white poster board. Punch holes at the top two corners of each poster board and string all of your artwork together. Hang the strand from your mantle or staircase.
Remember, in the end, the true spirit of Christmas comes from the time you spend celebrating the holiday with your friends and family. But creating a warm and beautiful home doesn’t hurt either.
