Get ready for the Christmas season with these clever tricks and tips.
Fake tree looking a little bare? Use shiny green tinsel to make your Christmas tree look fuller.
Making gingerbread cookies? Turn them into ornaments that will last for years with three coats of varnish.
Freeze whipped cream on a cookie sheet and use a cookie cutter to make little white hearts for your Christmas morning hot chocolate.
Use pictures instead of name tags on your presents. This is a small, personal addition that will make your presents a design element and touch your loved ones this holiday season.
Make your home smell festive by bringing some water so a boil with clove and cinnamon.
Jazz up holiday lights with some spray paint. While green cords are helpful when you want them to blend into your tree or roof, it also makes the cords too much of an eyesore to use elsewhere in your home. Just give them a gold spray painted makeover and voila, they are ready to be hung anywhere in your house.
Most importantly, remember that holiday decorating isn’t restricted to just red and green. Try out different color schemes that are still festive but refreshingly unique. Oh and don’t forget to decorate the inside of your front door! Many people put garlands around the outside, but why not add a bit of zest to the inside as well? Now you can remind people of the holiday spirit as they come go!
