There are a plethora of things to plan ahead of time now that the holiday season has arrived. Christmas is likely to be the most anticipated event of the year, so everyone will want to go all out to make it extra special. What suffocates the enjoyment of things? You’re on a tight budget or you’re trying to get the decor just right. We’ll have to get a little creative here!

Lamps of Many Sizes

The big day’s main attraction is the Christmas tree. You could argue that it’s the delicious aroma of food wafting through the air on Christmas morning, or the part where you get to exchange gifts, but the tree will be the first thing you’ll notice throughout the holiday season.

Lamps Of Many Sizes

There are a plethora of unique decorations to adorn your prized tree, as well as some handy tips! To highlight all aspects of the tree, hang two sets of fairy lights with different sized lamps.

Instant Gift Wrapping

It’s not a sin to admit that many of us have completely forgotten about Christmas shopping at times. It’s understandable; we wouldn’t blame you if you forgot to buy gifts for your loved ones in the midst of your preparations.

Instant Gift Wrapping

Instant Gift Wrapping

Wrapping gifts under time constraints, on the other hand, is far from simple, especially for a novice. Try this if you don’t have any fancy wrapping paper to hide your garbage-wrapping skills. Wrap your gift in regular paper and bend it outwards in half to make a Christmas tree shape.

Making Decorative Snowflakes

One of the most traditional Christmas decorations is making snowflakes out of paper. They’re not only perfect for the theme, but they’re also super simple to make. Why don’t you try making decorative snowflakes out of glue this time to mix things up a little?

You can be as creative as you want with the shape and details, as well as the color. Plus, if there are children present, they will undoubtedly appreciate it. With this fun DIY idea, kids’ imaginations will be stimulated.

Using Leftover Wrapping Paper

That one with all the leftover wrapping paper. When you’re buying wrapping paper and aren’t sure how much you’ll need, it’s easy to get carried away. This is why, after wrapping their gifts, most people have an excess of wrapping paper.

There’s no reason why you couldn’t get creative and make something special out of them! These wrapping paper cone trees make great abstract art for your home or office. Here’s how to make them in a few easy steps.

The Right Way

Countless people are afraid of ripping out their expensive wallpaper or having paint bits fall off when it’s literally ripped off, so they don’t put anything on their walls at all.

The Right Way

The Right Way

After years of debating whether or not to sacrifice the decor, we’ve come up with this brilliant solution to make the most of the situation. Apply some glue to a piece of sticky tape before sticking the paper decorations to the walls. The decor will no longer cause significant damage to your wallpaper.

Concealing the Base

Not everyone wants to decorate their home with a real Christmas tree. It could be because they care about the environment or because they want tree limbs strewn across their living room. You can always opt for an artificial tree that looks just as good.

Concealing The Base

Concealing The Base

The only drawback is the thin supporting stick that runs down the middle, which can be distracting. Put your tree inside a fancy cardboard box to hide the base. +2 for decoration, +5 for originality.

Dinner Sets in Festive Mood

Have you run out of “Christmas” crockery? You certainly do; you simply haven’t looked in the right place. The spirit of Christmas is to add sparkle to everything, so why not give the old, forgotten glasses in your cabinet a new lease on life?

You can give them the holiday bling that everyone loves with some basic craft skills and the help of a few special markers! Decorate your glasses with a Sharpie to brighten them up for the dinner table.

Fairy Lights Turbulence

The whole point of hanging fairy lights is to draw attention to the dimming lights that illuminate the night, but it’s all for naught when that darn green power cable is strewn about trying to reach the electrical socket.

Fairy Lights Turbulence

Hide it behind the Christmas tree to avoid drawing unwanted attention to it. If that’s not an option, grab a can of gold spray paint and turn the cable into a decorative element. No one will be able to figure it out!

Salt Dough Ornaments

There’s no need to spend a lot of money on craft supplies when you can decorate your Christmas tree with things you’ve made yourself. This is yet another kid-friendly project that yields satisfying results.

Reflect, Shine, and Shimmer

Add a bunch of reflective elements to the tree if you’re looking for something creative to take your Christmas tree decorations to the next level. This will give the appearance of a brighter tree, and the fairy lights will look even better as a result.

Reflect, Shine, And Shimmer

This is a hack to consider if you want a tree that blinds everyone who walks into the house (figuratively speaking). Experiment with different-shaped mirrors to find the best-looking one.

Mini Christmas Tree

Depending on personal taste, Christmas trees can be whimsical, glamorous, or outrageous. A tiny Christmas tree, on the other hand, will never cease to be adorable no matter how it is decorated. Are you someone who gets extra excited about Christmas and wants to show it off?

Mini Christmas Tree

Mini Christmas Tree

Get a mini tree for your desk if a large tree isn’t enough. Simply break off a few fig tree branches and arrange them neatly in a vase. That’s it – you’ve got yourself a miniature Christmas tree to decorate.

Hang the Wreath

Wreaths are a traditional Christmas decoration. Every home hangs one on their door before the big day, ranging from fresh ones made from finely trimmed bushes and leaves to reusable plastic ones.

Hang The Wreath

Hang The Wreath

If your door doesn’t have a built-in hook, however, hanging wreaths can be a pain. It’s unlikely that you’ll drill a hole in your door for this purpose. To hang a wreath perfectly every time, get a command hook and stick it upside-down on the back of the door.

Clever Candle Trick

Candles are a great way to add a rustic, warm feel to your home, but a good one isn’t cheap. There’s always the issue of the candle melting unevenly, leaving you with something that won’t sit straight anywhere.

Clever Candle Trick

Clever Candle Trick

Here’s a way to get around it. Put your candle in a hurricane vase and cover it with a can. The filler is used less this way, and the candle sits up straight.

Fillers are a great way to dress up your crystal and glass jars and make them look fancier. When you don’t have enough fillers and need to fill up that apothecary jar, there’s a clever hack to save the day!

Saving More Filler

Saving More Filler

Fill half of the jar with the fillers. Fill the rest of the apothecary jar with the contents of an empty tissue paper roll in the middle. Even if the jar doesn’t have many sparkly decorations, it will look as if it does.

Holiday Screen Prints

Do you want a picture to hang in your home? Without a doubt! Is there a particular picture that you wish would adorn the walls of your home during the holiday season? Doesn’t it really lighten up the mood?

Rather than spending extra money on a framed photo, save money by printing out your favorite holiday image and hanging it from a dowel. Try this with a collection of small photos to create a stunning collage.

Revamping the Garlands

Artificial garlands, on the subject of fluffing up faux trees, aren’t the best decorations on the planet, but they do the job. Try this clever hack if you’re not happy with how thin and unimpressive your faux garlands look.

Revamping The Garlands

To add volume to the garlands, use yard clippings, and floral wire. Put another way, you can go to a store that sells live trees and select some evergreens for the job.

Showing Off Cards

Holiday cards are adorbs, and they make a darling and one-of-a-kind decoration. Don’t just sit them out when you have a large number of holiday cards in storage. Instead, hang them up to let them shine.

Showing Off Cards

Attach your cards to ribbons tied around the house to display them. Put them in a prominent location where you’ll notice them. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your or someone else’s face.

Affordable Tabletop Trees

This annoys us because we have this perception that all nice Christmas decorations are somewhat expensive. Something doesn’t have to be expensive to show off your holiday spirit; a unique DIY project that also showcases your artistic sense will suffice.

Affordable Tabletop Trees

Make a cone out of cardstock and embellish it with bead garlands glued to the body for a classy yet affordable alternative to pricey, fancy tabletop trees. If you have children, try this with them to get their creative juices flowing.

Clean-Up Made Easy

Cleaning up can be therapeutic for some people, and all of the organizing and sorting can be quite enjoyable. The majority of us, on the other hand, don’t, and we’d go to any length to avoid it. How aggravating is it to set out a large meal, have everyone enjoy it, and then have to clean everything up – crumbs, wipe the table, etc.?

Clean Up Made Easy

Clean Up Made Easy

Avoid this entirely by lining your table with brown kraft paper before setting out the meals. Simply pick them up and discard the bits and chunks once everyone has finished.

Ultimate Fall DIY Centrepiece

Pumpkins aren’t just for the fall; they’re also great for the winter holidays. While they are the star of the show during the year’s most spooky event, Halloween, they can also be used as a great centerpiece during the Christmas season.

We usually try to make Halloween as ghoulish as possible, but this year we tried to make it elegant. You can make the perfect fall-inspired mantle decor/centerpiece by hollowing out the insides of a pumpkin and inserting a vase.

Customizable Illusion Vases

It’s sometimes necessary to think outside the box in order to come up with something that will astound everyone. Like an optical illusion, which gives rise to the concept of an optical illusion vase. Layer two vases that are different sizes but have the same shape.

Fill the smaller one with flowers, and the larger one with mini dreidels or gelt. Your guests will look at you several times before they realize what you have done.

Adding Sparkle to Curtains

It should be a crime to overlook curtains as an important part of the overall interior design aesthetic. Drapes, when styled and chosen correctly, can make a significant difference in a home’s appearance.

You may have special drapes to hang up for the holidays or you may be using your old ones, but there’s nothing wrong with mixing in some fun elements. Curtain tie-backs can be made from old decorative bows or glistening necklaces. It can be simple and elegant, or it can be so gleaming that it causes someone to go blind.

Tomato Cage to Topiaries

Since it’s simple, inexpensive, and brilliant, repurposing is a big part of today’s “hack” guide. Who’d have guessed that tomato cages could be turned into artificial topiaries and actually look good? Turn your tomato cage over and wrap small fairy lights around it to make it more festive.

It’s not practical to change your room’s wallpaper to something super bright and fun just for the holidays, and it’s no better to put up new wallpaper. However, if you find a fabric you like, you can instantly turn it into a removable wallpaper by mixing it with water and cornstarch.

That’s a Unique Garland

There are garlands to suit any holiday theme on the market, but they may not be the best option if you’re on a budget. Why not create your own ribbon garland? It’s possible, and we like the way it looks.

That’s A Unique Garland

Make a string of fairy lights by cutting out strips of ribbon in any color you want. You now have a cute DIY garland that’s cute enough to hang around the house.

Holding the Lights in Place

Until you have to attach them to the wall, outdoor lights are all sparkly and magical. Tape simply won’t cut it, and the string will frequently become loose, causing it to move on its own.

Holding The Lights In Place

Holding The Lights In Place

When the lights become unruly, using glue to tape them down is a brilliant hack. Apply hot glue to the socket on the light side and stick it where it’s needed. Hold it in place for a few seconds until the glue dries completely, then remove it.

Fake but Real

For a long time, you’ve been feigning enthusiasm for your fake Christmas tree. Of course, you want it to look better than the cheap plastic tree you bought at the supermarket. Make your artificial Christmas tree stand atop a real tree trunk to give it the appearance of being real.

Look for a tree stump at your local tree service and carve a hole in the middle to fit the faux’s base. Incorporate the beauty of nature into your home decor with ease.

Banners, like wreaths, are extremely inconvenient to hang. We’ll give them a pass because they’re festive and show purpose. Not only are banners appropriate for the holidays, but they are also appropriate for other occasions.

Festival of Scents

Why should the aroma of the most delectable festive foods be limited to the home of a master chef? You can do it, too, and it’s incredibly easy. Fill a pot halfway with juicy oranges and plump cranberries, plus fragrant herbs and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.

Simply nestle a smaller wreath inside a larger faux wreath, tie it together with a pretty, decorative ribbon, and hang it as a single unit. Is it possible that no one will ever know? Not likely.

Fluffy Christmas Tree

Artificial Christmas trees, unless they’re outrageously expensive, don’t even come close to the real thing. They’ve quickly gained popularity, however, because they’re affordable for a wide range of homes.

Fluffy Christmas Tree

One of the most common criticisms of these fake trees is how frail and unimpressive they appear. No need to be concerned. Give your fake tree the volume and fluff it needs by layering two artificial, low-cost wreaths. It’ll look a lot better now.

The Christmas tree isn’t complete without a topper. These toppers define the entirety of one’s Christmas decorations, thanks to a wide range of customized options available on the market, so don’t skimp on this step. It’s not easy to find a tree topper that meets all of your requirements.

If it’s too heavy, the branches will be weighed down; if it’s too tall, it’ll hit the ceiling, and the design will be a source of further concern. Make a lightweight, simple, inexpensive, and completely unique pipe cleaner topper!

Remembering Where Everything Went

The post-holiday clean-up session is by far the most difficult part of any holiday. All of the reusable decorations must be removed and stored in boxes until the next time.

Remembering Where Everything Went

Remembering Where Everything Went

When you take something out of a box and use it, the box appears to shrink by the time you want to put everything back! Don’t panic. Simply take a photo of the entire box before removing the decorations to use as a reference when it comes time to replace everything.

Stair Slide for Penguins

When it comes to holiday decorating, most people concentrate on their front entrances, living rooms, or any other room in which they will be entertaining guests. The stairwell, on the other hand, is frequently overlooked in homes.
