Personally, I find the winter holidays to be the most special time of the year. My mother always made this holiday a wonderful one as she used to decorate the house in all things Christmas. I especially liked her Christmas decorating ideas, so I tried to follow her lead to help my own family enjoy this holiday thoroughly. There is a fine line between festive and flashy and I have always tried to give my best not to cross it. Thus, I have used for my Christmas decorations natural items and lights. I am a candle light lover so I wanted to use it outdoors but I didn't know how. My older sister helped me by giving me the idea to use ice globes in my yard, just as the people in 1970s did because of the energy crisis.
The candle will be set in about 30 minutes. Let the candle stand for another hour or two until most of the ice cubes are melted. Pour off the water. Peel off the carton. Place the candle in a tray or on a plate to catch the rest of the water from the ice cubes as they finish melting. Let the candle dry for a day or two.Cloth napkins and kitchen towels are much better for your wallet and the planet. Make your own quick set by cutting jersey or other cotton material with pinking sheers. You can even use bed sheets or other fabric that needs repurposed. Cloth napkins are inexpensive and available at discount stores. Cloth dish towels and hand towels for the kitchen will save tons of paper towels. Try a microfiber cloth with your natural cleaning products for better cleaning. Microfiber is now being made from sustainable bamboo.4. Try Cloth
You can enlighten your Christmas by following some of my Christmas decorating ideas by using the natural evergreens and ice; you won't have any storage issues with them and they won't cost you much. Of course, you don't have to settle for the same Christmas decorations each year. You can make the ice globes in different shapes and you can buy new bulbs and ribbons in different colours which are quite cheap. Last Christmas I even used some popcorn and cranberry strands instead of the traditional ribbons. After the season was over I placed the strand in the trees outside so that the birds could enjoy. In conclusion, stylish and smart Christmas decorating ideas don't have to be expensive; you can use simple things to make your Christmas unforgettable.
