Christmas season is now in the air, and you will find entire family getting busy cleaning and adorning their houses and offices. The decorations during this period remind us of the Christmas wreaths, the Christmas tree, Christmas candles, Santa Claus and more. They are fun to no end and definitely a visual treat for all and sundry! Here is enlisted a few decorating ideas that will spruce up your home to a great extent, without having to break the bank.

Dress up the tree

Well, it is true that Christmas will never be complete without having a Christmas tree. Whether you have a six-foot green pine tree or a two-foot winter land wonder, getting a tree is necessary during this wonderful season. Moreover, make sure it is extremely fresh, bright in colour and also needs to smell good. However, it is essential to select the right tree, as you will not like your living room getting over crowded. When it comes to decoration, you can either choose a colour scheme like red, green, silver or gold or, you can go crazy and have a tree with a mixture of all the vibrant yet soothing colours. The first step when adorning your tree is to put up the lights on your tree, followed by the garlands and at last the ornaments as per your conveniences.

Another creative and affordable way to turn a seasonal symbol into festive wall art is by making the ornament tree. If in case your house is too small or desire to try something unique, create a tree from sections of crafts wire, then make S-shape ornament holders and hang ball ornaments on the tree. Make sure that the balls are coloured accordingly to your preference. To spice up a little, add glittery star at the top.

Spice up the Mistletoe

We usually find people hanging the mistletoe on their doorway. But did you know that, there are several other ways that can create a classic and fresh look in your home without working hard? Well, just try this idea and you will be amazed with the result. Stretch a clean white string over a doorway and clipping mistletoe to the string with wooden clothespins. For an extra exceptional variation, paint the clothespins in festive Christmas colours!

Place a Christmas greeting board on wall

Now this is immensely creative! Instead of keeping your Christmas card in the corner of your home, try converting it into an art. Simply wrap a bulletin board with batting and cover it with an attractive fabric. With the aid of disappearing ink fabric marker, draw a snowflake design at the centre of the board. Pin a ribbon along the snowflake line and cover thumbtacks with vibrant buttons. You can use hot glue to stick the buttons appropriately. At last, place your greeting cards and you will be happy to see the results.

Ribbon wrapped doors

Kids will love to enter their home from the ribbon-wrapped door. You can use large ribbon to create a bow around each door and at the end just add a gift tag with a festive saying.

All the above Christmas gift ideas are simple, easy, fun and affordable. You will enjoy every bit decorating your wonderful home during this wonderful Christmas season.
