Christmas is just around the corner! It is a time of celebration and decoration with colors abound, glittering gold and silvers, twinkling lights, delicious recipes and sips of favorite juices.
It is indeed the time to create harmony in your home with simple planning and budgeting to make your home look spectacular.
Christmas, being just a few days ahead, here are some budget-friendly tips to decorate your home:
1. Decorate the door and house front
Make wreaths by bending greenery into a circle or any other shape and tie together with a string, ribbon or rope. Make a bow or use some Christmas ornaments for added colors and then hang it on your door. Tie jingle bells to your door handles to welcome a burst of Christmas!
2. Paint the Pinecones
Dip pine cones with gold and silver paints. Add glitters to create sparkling effects to hang them on your Christmas tree.
3. Candles
Keep scented candles to add a special aroma, which can change the mood of anyone who walks in.
4. Light the tree and place ornaments below the Christmas tree
Create a Christmas tree on any wall with strings of fairy lights. Hang the ornaments all over the house (inside & outside) to spread the Christmas cheer throughout. Try stringing a row of Christmas balls along with the windows. For a sophisticated decoration, spray little snow on the tiny shrubs and branches of the Christmas tree.
5. Tie bows
Tie colorful ribbons on the Christmas tree, chairs, windows, cushions, pillows and where ever possible. Some of these can look like Christmas gifts.
6. Fill the vases
Nestle flowers, twigs and other greenery with water for more decoration. Brighten it up with colorful flowers.
7. Light your home
Lighten your driveway, path, staircase, living room and the center of your dining table with homemade luminaries for a warm Christmas decoration.
8. Gift wrappers
If you are running short of ornaments to decorate, use the wrappers to give an extra appeal to the frames, jugs, vases, etc.
9. Bowl of candies
For quick, sweet decoration, put bowls of colorful candies in a pretty glassware.
10. Cook up
A cookie tree, plum cakes, and gingerbreads enhance the festive feel of your home, adding to the wonderful aroma! Invite kids to help decorate your baked goods with their favorite lollies.
Decorating your house for Christmas need not be expensive. You just need bags of creativity and imaginations to flow. Try to involve your family and friends to ring in the spirit of Christmas.
Happy decorating for Christmas to come!
