Trendy Christmas Decorations To Try



Christmas is right around the corner and that means people will be decorating their homes, both inside and out. But what can you do to spruce up your home without spending a lot or putting up a huge display?

Decorating for the holidays doesn’t have to be hard. With a few simple touches, your home can have the same festive atmosphere as even the most decorated house on the block.  Try a few of these simple, easy decorations to help set your living place firmly in the holiday spirit.

1.     Bring the snowballs inside - You don’t have to have snow for snowballs anymore. Make them yourself indoors. Styrofoam balls, sprayed with adhesive and rolled in fake snow look great and are easy to make too.
2.     The ideal fir - For traditionalists, the tree should include heavy jewelry and real candles. If you’re going for a real tree, try the blue spruce. Blue spruce branches are strong and grow tier-shaped, perfect for heavy ornaments.
3.     Snow falling on firs - You can make your Christmas tree feel like mulled wine and a winter’s walk when you add some fake snow. Flocking can help give the appearance of freshly fallen snow and snowflakes are easy to make yourself.
4.     Bring the forest to you - After you have aligned your tree successfully so it sits up straight, you should dress the Christmas tree stand with moss. Your tree will look like it grew right where it is.
5.     Glam up the presents - Stick small stickers or decals on the tape of gifts to add another element of fun to the gift giving. Or write a poem on the tape to provide a poetic, and elegant, touch.
6.     Window decorations - Flower stands wrapped with floral wire and holiday fabrics can turn normal garland into a masterpiece when hung from a window.
