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.
