People are always looking for fun new ways to jazz up their home with holiday decorating. You don’t have to spend a lot or get really fancy to add some unique holiday decorating to your home decor. Here are a few simple, inexpensive, and festive ideas.
Re-purpose your outside baskets. Get those hanging pots out of storage and dress them up for Christmas! Place decorative evergreen in their base, then get oversized ornaments to fill them up. To go all out, decorate wire hanging baskets with spray paint and glitter. Hang your decorated baskets along with lights on your porch, a shepherd’s rod, or from trees.
Do something different with ornaments. Make festive centerpieces by arranging ornaments with evergreens or tinsel on a glass cake plate. Or, fill clear glass canisters or large candle holders with sparkly ornaments.
Create festive doorway swag. Use a long string of pine cones, available at garden centers and craft stores, to create a natural swag around a doorway. Tie a big bow in the middle so you can center it perfectly over a doorway, then tack it up with nails.
Accent your windows. Purchase holiday themed sponge shapes at a craft store, and paint stars, snowflakes, snowmen, trees, and more onto your windows. Add a teaspoon of liquid dish soap to acrylic craft paint to make clean-up easy when the season ends.
Wrap up your artwork. Use your framed artwork as built-in holiday decorations. Either drape them with ribbon, or go all out and wrap them in stylish, high quality wrapping paper that matches your theme. You don’t have to do this with every piece of art, but select them carefully and in a pattern.
