Picking A Christmas TreeTo pick a healthy Christmas tree, gently grasp a branch
between your thumb and forefinger and pull it toward
you. If the tree is fresh, very few needles should
come off in your hand.
Tree DecoratingDecorate your tree from the inside out. Hang large,
shiny ornaments near the trunk to reflect light and
fill in holes and dark spots. Decorating from the inside
out will make your tree look fuller.
CenterpiecesTake a coffee can and hot glue candy canes around the outside.
Tie a holiday bow around the middle and fill with candies
or flowers. You can use it as a centerpiece or for a
treat next to your entry door.
Decorate The HouseFill clear glass jars with colorful holiday treats and
candies. Cover the top with a paper doily and tie with
a red plaid ribbon. These jars can be used all
throughout the house to create a decorating theme.
Christmas TreesTo keep your Christmas tree fresh, cut off an inch or
two from the bottom to help it absorb moisture. Keep the
tree in the coolest part of the room, away from any heat
source. Donīt place your tree where direct sunlight
will be on it during the daytime hours. This will also
dry out your tree faster than normal.
Tree DecorationsIf your Christmas tree is on the thin side, string
the lights horizontally throughout. If the tree is short
and stout, string the lights vertically. Decoarations
can also be placed either in horizontal or vertical
lines to make the tree look more full or taller.
OrnamentsIf you run short of ornament hangars you can use bent
paper clips, bobby pins, twist-ties or green pipe
cleaners to hang your decorations.
Christmas LightsIf lights are tangled, plug in one set and follow the
lights to untangle it from the rest. Use a piece of
cardboard to wrap light strings and put only one string
of lights per piece of cardboard to keep them from
getting entangled.
Holiday WreathsTo hang a wreath on a door without making a hole, attach
some ribbon to the wreathīs hook and then tack the ribbon
to the top of the door frame.
Decorating DoorsCover an interior door with red felt and pin cards to
it for a festive card display.
Doorway DecorationsDress up a doorway by swagging a length of fabric around
the doorway and fastening the corners with tacks concealed
by berries or pinecones. Choose a lively holiday print
fabric or an elegant velvet or satin.
Old OrnamentsGive old ornaments a second chance. For a lovely table
decoration, fill a glass bowl with seasonal items and
ornaments that are no longer hung on the tree.
Jingle Bell WreathsMake little jingle bell wreaths to hand from doorknobs,
gift packages or your car mirror. Simply string bells
onto floristīs wire, cut to desired length and form into
a wreath. Tie on a thin ribbon or two and hang.
Ribbon BowsUse ribbon bows all over the house. Add them to highlight
stemware, vases, bedposts, serving bowls, lamps,
banisters and more. Add a sprig of evergreen here and
there to spruce things up even more.
Room DecorationsTrim plastic foam cones with hard candies hot glued to
make Christmas trees. You can use small cones to
decorate the tree or larger cones to make table or
room decorations.
