Little Christmas decorations ideas
* Wreaths can be hung anywhere
* Hang garlands anywhere you can. Across table tops, around candles, on top of your mantel and also under your mantel, along the tops of your kitchen cabinets, on your curtain rods, and of course wrapped around your banisters!
* Stockings- A blank wall can be decked up with 3 stockings or one big glorious one. Hang small ones on your garland and up the stairs.
* Fill glass vases with colored stones or rocks. And place a candle inside. You can even add dry branches, silk flowers and poinsettias.
* Place a small tree in a corner of the kitchen counter, decorated with miniature kitchen items found in a toy store.
* Decorate your bedroom! There is no rule which says we can only decorate the hall and main rooms on Christmas. Put some of that decor in your bedroom as well and let the holiday cheer seep into your dreams. And don't forget a few scented candles.
* Wrap a lampshade with translucent Christmas tissue paper. Put the paper on the outside of the lamp shape, overlapping the edges just a little and tape the edges down on the inside.
* Place a small Christmas tree in a child's bedroom decorated with small toys, miniature dolls, or small sports item.
* For easy Christmas tableware, tie red, green, or gold ribbons to the stems of wine glasses or the handles of cutlery.
* Purchase small bells from your craft store
Always remember the most important reason we celebrate, and the reason we take the time to make our homes warm and inviting, our loved ones! Have a wonderful holiday season
