A Guide to Christmas Light Displays and Decoration Tips

!±8± A Guide to Christmas Light Displays and Decoration Tips

Everyone wants their home to look bright and beautiful at Christmas time. Here are a few ideas and tips for a beautiful and eye catching Christmas light display for your home.

Whether decorating inside or outside, you should think of how you want it to look. You can choose from a very colourful display or a colour scheme for your lights and decor. For example, with a colour scheme of blue and silver you can wrap a lighted garland with blue ribbon and adorn it with pine cones painted in silver. Put the garland on a mantel or wrap it around a stair rail. Use glass jars with blue beads, a silver ribbon and a tea light candle to make accent pieces around your home.

Inside you have so many things to make your home feel warm, from the candles you put out to the smells that surround your home. A beautiful centrepiece for your table, with candles and holiday fruits will be very nice, some candy dishes filled with holiday candy, small miniature ornaments or festive coloured beads. Use cloth napkins in the colour you choose and create a ring to put around them. Get miniature presents, use a small wire and tie the gifts around the napkins. Wrap your dining room chairs in a cover and add a ribbon to tie them. Add Christmas bells to the door for a cheerful sound as guests arrive to your home. If you want a wonderful smell in your home, put a pan on the stove, turn it on low, add water, vanilla, apple slices and cinnamon; you will have a great smell with things you already have around the house.

Creating your own wreath to hang on the door is simple. Get a plain wreath and add your own touch with ribbons, lights, pine cones, cranberries, other fruits and holly. You can create a swag to hang over doorways or when going from room to room. Don't forget about your windows; add fake snow, window clings and even lights to your windows. For any hanging or standing lights, add some ribbon or lighted garland. Bows are a great accent to door knobs or table lights; you can also add small bows to pillar candles.

Your Christmas light displays are going to really stand out depending on the lights you use. If you want a bright display, use the LED lights. They are much brighter and use less energy than your regular lights. They have lighted nets you can use to drape over the tops of bushes. The more lights you have on the outside of your home the more it will stand out. Line your walk ways using lighted candy canes, miniature Christmas trees or create your own luminaries by using glass jars. Put sand in the jar; add a votive candle and some beads. Next, wrap garland around the bottom of the jar and place them along your walk way. This will help you to create a beautiful Christmas light display for your home.
