Today I am giving you some of my Christmas decorating tips. Please share them with your friends and let me know if you have any additions to the list by posting a comment!
How to create easy, cheap and inventive Christmas decorations:
- Before you start doing anything make sure you buy lots of festive looking ribbons. You can pick up large reels of ribbon from most sewing shops for a small cost but if you can't find one nearby, then go online! Ribbons are brilliant for decorating many things including presents, ornaments, fireplaces etc. You can also pick up some buttons for decoration.
- Don't by ready-made candle decorations - make them yourself. Buy plain candles and add your own holly, ribbons and mistletoe. This is a much cheaper way to decorate and you will be creating something only you have on display!
- Collect pine cones, branches and holly from outside.
- Make your own Christmas wreath using the branches you collected, just tie both ends together with string and add your desired decorations like ribbon, tinsel, ornaments, spray paint etc.
- Spray your pine cones silver or gold (or another colour) and either display them in a bowl or large glass vase or attach string to them and hand them off your tree.
- Lay holly and branches on your fireplace.
- Buy a roll of brown paper and wrap your presents with it. Use your beautiful ribbons to make the wrapping pretty along with sprigs of holly and mistletoe and cinnamon sticks!
- Save money and the environment by sending Christmas ecards this year. Send unlimited cards for a small subscription fee and save on average over £15 on traditional greetings cards!
