Create a floral tree with Christmas blossoms like poinsettias, magnolias, and pinecones.
4. Deck the Halls…With Flowers
Skip the boughs of holly and order Christmas flower delivery to fashion your halls with. Some classic holiday flowers that will brighten up your home include roses, carnations, white cacti, poinsettias, lilies, hypericum berries, and alstroemeria.
5. Wreaths, Wreaths, Wreaths
You can never have too many wreaths when the holidays come barreling in. You can place wreaths over the outside of your windows, over your mantle, on doors, or above your mantle. To create your own wreath, you’ll need some floral wire, shears, pins, and floral tape. Then, you’ll have to go and find evergreen boughs or juniper sprigs, along with some accessories such as snowberries and a bow. After that, throw on some holiday music and get to work!
6. Hot Cocoa Bar
One of the best presents in life is seeing your children smile. A hot cocoa bar will make them grin from ear to ear after a long day filled with snowball fights, sledding, and building igloos. Create the ultimate hot cocoa bar with plenty of mugs, napkins, stirrers, whipped cream, and toppings like sprinkles, caramel, and chocolate drizzle. Then, give your family and guests and option of warm beverages to choose from, such as hot cocoa, coffee, or tea, with a ready-to-go Keurig.
7. Fill the Stockings
Stockings are another staple when it comes to decorating your home for the holidays. Grab some stockings, glue, glitter, patches, and pom-poms and gather the family to create your own stockings.
8. Make Your Own Merry and Bright
Create a warm and welcoming ambiance in your home by placing soft candle lights throughout the rooms in your home. For a shimmering glow, string lights through garland, evergreens, wreaths, and pines. You can also place electric light-up candles in your windows that turn on when the sun goes down to create a cozy feel.
9. Utilize Ribbons
Ribbons represent how people should be tied together, which makes them the perfect accessory to use throughout your home to make everyone feel loved and welcome. You can place a white, green, and red checkered ribbon along your staircase, white ribbons on the back of your dining room chairs, and mini ribbons on the arms of your chandelier.
10. Dress Up the Table
Create a unique centerpiece for your table by repurposing ornaments and tinsel. Then, find a holiday-themed tablecloth, napkins, and china, and arrange them on your dining room table. Finish the look with pine-scented candles, flowers, garland (yes, more garland), and some sprigs.
