~ Christmas Decorating Ideas & Tips ~

Try to pick a theme for your Christmas decorating.
Look around the house for items that you
might be able to use for decorating.
Here are some frugal Christmas decorating ideas!

Frosted Windows~ Want to make your windows "frosted"?
Add 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salt to 1 cup beer.
Brush on the window! Let dry
To remove the frost, wash off with ammonia!
This is really neat. Just remember to cover any
wood or furniture nearby, because this drips!

Drop a tealight candle in your cleaned out glass
mayonnaise jars, tie a holiday ribbon around the neck,
and you have a beautiful candle with Christmas charm.
You could nestle the candle in peppermints,
nuts, or even sand if you wish.
Try grouping several together for a dramatic
evening effect. These also make great luminaries.

Place a few inexpensive glass balls in a bowl and embellish with
a few sprigs of greenery or some leftover ribbon.
If you don't havean extra bowl try decoupaging
a box with leftover Christmas wrap, or cover
with a little fabric and glue. You can also shred
some old wrapping paper to put it the
bottom of the bowl before placing ornaments inside.

Tie ornaments to the chandelier with Christmas ribbon

Make your own gift tags out of leftover paper.
Add details by layering shapes over the base paper
use paper punches and scalloped scrapbooking scissors to add style,
use a calligraphy pen to add names.
You can also use the scalloped scissors
to make old holiday cards into tags.

Sponge stars or other seasonal shapes on your window with paint
Add a teaspoon or so of liquid dish soap to acrylic craft paint,
Washes off with window cleaner.
Use a non-scratching dish scrubber if you come across a stubborn spot.

Front Door Décor~Dazzle your front door for Christmas by wrapping it in bright red
paper or fabric, then wrap it with a huge gold bow to impress your
guests!

Make garlands,mini stockings, holly leaves, mittens and even Christmas Ornaments from felt scraps.
