Christmas balls, a great classic for decorating your tree! Depending on your tastes, choose them red and green for a traditional decoration, white and silver for a snow-covered tree, gold for a chic decoration or even pink for a romantic atmosphere. To dress up your tree, think about balancing the Christmas balls by placing them at the end of the branches everywhere. Put the biggest and heaviest balls on the bottom, and the smallest on the top. A decorative tip with your Christmas balls is to place them in a large vase that you will place on a chest of drawers or in the center of the table. You can also make your own Christmas balls.
It’s time to decorate your home for Christmas. The choice is vast in the decoration shop. For a simple and refined decoration, opt for a pretty Christmas wreath on your front door and a small light garland in the living room. For a more traditional decoration, do not hesitate to accumulate garlands throughout the house, to multiply the decorations in the tree, without forgetting the nativity scene at the foot of the latter.
The Christmas wreath is the queen of the holiday season! It dresses your front door as well as it decorates your walls or your furniture. It can even serve as a centerpiece for your party tables! Buy it ready-made from your florist, artificial from your home decor store, or make it yourself. For a traditional Christmas, we put on a wreath made of fir branches, pine cones and small red decorations. But the Christmas wreath is more and more original: in eucalyptus leaves, red berries, with small wooden animals, or even illuminated, you are spoiled for choice!
With everything around Christmas: the pretty tree, the gift that makes you happy, the festive meal… We would almost forget that Christmas is a religious holiday. What if we went back to the origins of Christmas by installing a pretty Christmas crib under the tree? A bit retro, it’s the decorative element you were missing for Christmas! But be careful, for a complete nativity scene, don’t forget all the characters, the traditional nativity scene is made up of the child Jesus, Joseph and Mary, without forgetting the donkey and the ox, but also the Three Kings. Do not hesitate to watch our tutorial above to make your Christmas crib.
