Ideas for Decorating with Christmas Lights

 

Ideas for Decorating with Christmas Lights

We all know about lighting up our trees and putting lights up outside of our living spaces (if we can) but today, I wanted to share some more ideas using these lights. This tip is specifically for the Christmas/holiday season but some can be carried out into every day, too! Really, it's all about being creative and having fun. Enjoy! :)

_________________________________________________________

Garland/Wreath Wrap a string of lights around a garland or even a wreath. Lights add a fun way to display the garland/wreath instead of being boring green. It's a simple fix to amply the festive season! For the garland, an idea is using as a table runner or placed over door frames, arch ways, or of course, outlining picture frames and mirrors.

Picture Frames and More Place lights around picture frames, mirrors, or other hanging decorations. Gives some flare to the masterpieces you've got.

Curtains

Create a rain drop effect with your Christmas lights! Just run them up and down along the inside of your curtains (near the windows). Then when the curtains are closed for the evening, turn them on and the spectacular glow gives off the feeling of being in a snow globe!

Ornaments/Terrariums If you're anything for crafting then this is for you! Take a clear ornament and put in a string of fairy lights! That's it. Well, unless you wish to add any other decorations inside the tiny space with the lights. And of course, you can always add some stickers or design the outside of the bauble with anything that pops into your mind! For terrariums, it's the same thing but without the plants unless you choose to add a faux tree, which is totally fine! Overall, this is an easy diy that can be used as a decoration such as centerpiece on a table or to place on shelves.

 

Selfies Okay but, you can't forget to decorate your Facebook feed or Instagram profile! Gently wrap some lights around your body. Turn them on and snap a pic! Easy but so festive. Go ahead and try this on your pet, but be gentle and be careful not to wrap so tightly. Great pictures, right?
