Make your own tassels
Tassels are a fun way to add a pop of color to any room. You can make tassels with any kind of thread, like ribbon, twine, or floss. To add some bling to your tassels, you can use beads.
Tassels can also be made to hang from your keychain or doorknob. First, make a loop of yarn. You will need approximately 48 inches of yarn or thread. If you want a longer tassel, you can use a longer length of thread. Next, fold the thread in half and hold one end taut while twisting the other end. Once the twisted end has been gathered, you can begin weaving in the second end.
Tassels can be hung from many things, such as furniture knobs, bookcases and keys in drawers. They can also be used as drapery accents. Tassels will make your home look merry and bright for the holidays.
Use heirloom ornaments
Heirloom ornaments are a great way to personalize Christmas decorations. These treasured pieces can be used to create family traditions or simply to make the holidays more memorable. You can decorate with family heirlooms such as a special platter or bowl that has been passed down through the generations.
Another option is to place your collection in places that are not easily accessible. This will add sparkle and shine. These are great places to display your mercury glass ornaments, for example. These ornaments can be displayed all year round or for a short time each season. You should not fluff them too much as it can cause the display to be overwhelming. You can also add some greenery to your vases. Cut them to fit into the vessels. Fill half of them with a mixture of greenery and red-holly berries. Hanging wreaths with red and green can also echo this palette.
Create a unified look
Remember to complement each other when decorating your home for Christmas. While red and green are traditional festive colors, these colors can be combined with many other colors. These colors can also be used in combination with white, silver, or gold. A great way to make your holiday decorating scheme look unique is to use different tones of rich greens and reds, and to mix and match them to add interest to the room.
You can create a theme for your entire home. You can choose a specific color or ornament as your theme. This creates a seamless transition from room to room. The same principle can be applied to the Christmas tree, which can be decorated with different colors or styles.
A statement can be made by the light fixture in your dining area. Liz Marie Galvan decorated her dining room chandelier using faux fruits and pine branches. A large, colorful wreath will draw attention towards a hanging light fixture. You can also use themed greenery for the front door.
Include greenery
One of the oldest traditions is to use fresh greenery in holiday decorating. Evergreens are a symbol of hope and eternal life, and have been part of winter festivals since ancient times. However, there are some precautions you should take when choosing your greenery.
First, remember that not all greenery is suitable for indoor decoration. Choose plants that are hardy and able to survive in a home’s climate. Pines, firs, cedars, and other southern evergreens are better suited for indoor use, as they retain their needles best under warm interior temperatures. However, spruces and most broadleaf evergreens are better suited for outdoor use. You can also use boxwood, which makes for a fine-textured wreath and has a pleasant aroma.
Greenery can be a great way to give your home a festive vibe. First of all, choose plants that fit the style of your home. For holiday decorations, magnolia, pinecones and cypress are all great choices. Hanging wreaths on your windows is another option. You can also fill urns using fresh greenery clippings. For a festive touch, you can spray-paint thin branches with red paint.
Work with your existing decor
You don’t have to match all your Christmas decorations with your existing decor. However, you can find Christmas decorations that fit in with your existing design. This way, you can make your home look more inviting to potential buyers. The best way to achieve this is to keep your decorations simple, so that they don’t cover large areas of your home. To match your soft white or ivory color scheme, you can use accents in silver and gold.
If you don’t have an abundance of greenery or flowers, try making a wreath out of florist wire and greenery. Be sure to arrange the needles facing in the same direction to create a unified look. Attach the wreath to the florist tape and tie it with a bow. A wreath can add seasonal flair to your interior design and will help draw attention to existing light fixtures. For a festive touch on the mantel, you can use vases to create a garland. Alternatively, you can stack paperbacks to create a paperback Christmas tree.
