If you’ve chosen to adorn your Christmas tree with lights, tinsel, and gifts, it’s time to consider the ornaments that will take center stage. Crafting your own Christmas decorations can add a personal touch to your celebrations, and we’re eager to share some ideas with you just in time for Christmas!
Crafting and Cleaning Glass Ornaments:
Glass baubles exude elegance and sophistication. While creating glass ornaments through glass blowing may be a challenging endeavor, you can elevate the appearance of your glass bulbs and existing decorations with a simple touch – cleaning. Use a microfiber cloth to delicately remove fingerprints and any accumulated dirt, restoring their pristine allure.
Setting the Ambiance with Lights:
Steer clear of fire hazards associated with candles on your tree by opting for safe alternatives. Consider using battery-powered lights, available in sets with a minimum of 20 on each wire or as individual bulbs. These faux candles effortlessly set the mood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere without the safety concerns.
Crafting Ornaments as a Family Activity:
Foster a joyful atmosphere and cherish family time by involving your kids in crafting ornaments together. Embrace materials like wood, clay, and cardboard. Keep a pot of PVA glue handy for bonding, and have wet wipes on standby in case of any glue-related mishaps. The shared experience of creating ornaments becomes a cherished memory.
Coordinating Your Color Scheme:
After adorning your tree with lights, ornaments, and decorations, ensure that your favorite elements don’t get lost in a sea of colors. Opt for a coordinated color scheme to enhance visual appeal. Categorize your ornaments, lights, and accessories by color or style. Apply them strategically, avoiding overlapping lights and tinsel. Create a visually pleasing arrangement, space out your decorations, and unveil the full splendor by switching on the lights once everything is in place.
