Christmas decorations
We associate decorations primarily with decorating the Christmas tree. Of course, you can decorate it with ready-made decorations: baubles, lights, store chains, angel hair and fake snow. But how much more impressive will the Christmas tree look when decorated with decorations made by yourself. Christmas balls, for example, can be decorated with artificial snow, or you can paint them yourself. Self-preparation may also be an interesting idea jute balls. All you need is a few balloons, jute string, decoupage glue and a needle: inflate the balloons, smear with glue, wrap with string, leave to dry, and finally pierce the balloons with a needle and gently pull them out of the ready baubles. They can hang as baubles on the Christmas tree cones – it is worth painting them in any color beforehand and drying them, and use a decorative ribbon to hang them. They will be a great Christmas decoration Gingerbreads, of course, baked and glazed by hand. They will look great on any Christmas tree starsfor example, made of paper or wire. An interesting idea may be to cut out and hang stars from the Christmas tree orange peels. There are also countless ways to make strings.

Christmas products
The products are not only typical decorations or Christmas tree decorations. In order for the apartment to be coherently decorated for Christmas, it is worth taking care not only about the presence Christmas trees, wreaths, wreaths and Christmas lanternsbut also for interior design elements such as Christmas tablecloths, Christmas textiles for the bedroom, or blankets or bedspreads with Christmas motifs. During Christmas Eve or a family dinner, it will be nice to sit at a covered table tablecloth, preferably snow-white or ecru, decorated with delicate Christmas motifs. You can also use a festive napkin to cover the festive table – a napkin in red, green or navy blue will work just as well as white. An interesting alternative may be a Christmas table runner thrown across the center of the table, or, for example, felt coasters with Christmas motifs cut out. The sofa on which we will rest during the holidays will certainly look great covered with a Christmas one overlay. And wouldn’t it be nice to lie down in a bed after a day of celebration? bedding with motifs of Santa’s reindeer or snow stars?

Christmas decorations and ornaments
Decorations and decorations definitely bring the mood to our interiors. The first accent that appears in the house and heralds the imminent arrival of Christmas is The Advent wreath, but we can also use it successfully wreath to hang on the door – then the atmosphere greets us from the doorstep. Such a wreath can be bought ready-made, but it can be equally beautiful and a source of pride if you make it yourself. The most important decoration is of course Christmas treewhich usually takes pride of place in the living room. Decorated according to our preferences, decorated with Christmas tree lights, it attracts the eyes of household members and guests. However, it does not have to be the only decoration in our apartment. It’s worth thinking about Christmas wreaths. There are many beautiful ready-made reeds in stores, but if we make such a reed ourselves, it will be exactly as we dreamed. When preparing a Christmas wreath, it is worth using natural materials, such as green spruce twigs, cones (they can be painted white, silver or gold with spray paint), nuts, cinnamon bark or . They also add to the festive atmosphere candleswhich are good to decorate with Christmas motifs, e.g. tie a ribbon with a sprig of spruce stuck under it or wrap cinnamon sticks around it. Christmas tree lights, in particular LED lights, can be used not only to illuminate the Christmas tree, but also to make Christmas lantern. For example, they can be stuffed into an empty wine bottle (washed and unlabelled), but you can also fill a glass vessel with silver-painted pine cones and nuts between them. On the other hand, it is good to plant it on a shelf or fireplace (preferably a hand-made one). It will surely keep the festive atmosphere in our house with enthusiasm!
