Light Up the Street Dowsing Christmas lights along homes and landscapes has been an ongoing tradition for years. It’s even become a friendly competition for neighborhoods to take part in; extravagance is often the focus. Whether you’re up for this over-the-top frenzy, or interested in a simpler design, incorporating lights into your holiday home décor is a must. To achieve a welcoming look for a fraction of the time, string lights around a long strand of garland and drape around the perimeter of your front door. To complete the look, add artificial red berries or miniature bows throughout.
Feast-Worthy Centerpiece Keep your table looking party-ready this winter before and after the holidays! For an everyday look, buy a rectangular wooden planter box from a local craft store. Evenly place three small mason jars inside of the box with a white candle in each of the jars. Surround with different sized pinecones and dried floral stems to your preference.
Christmas Ornaments Every year, try to buy a new ornament for each person in the family. This is a great way to celebrate the years that have gone by and reminisce on happy memories. Year after year, your tree will be covered in unique ornaments from that specific point of time in life. If your tree is more formal and already has a strict design, find a different space to display your annual ornaments.
Family Photos Sending out family photos is a common tradition during the holiday season. A great way to enjoy the portraits sent your way is to display them throughout your home. All you need to do is hang a thin piece of string along a wall and attach the photos with clothespins. This easy do-it-yourself project is a great way to celebrate the lives of your dearest loved ones. Also, your houseguests will love to look at them! If your family has a collection of annual holiday photos, display those in a group to see the transformation over the years!
