You can also line them up across the driveway, front walks and hang the luminaries on your porch. The attractive blend of mellow and bright glow makes way for a shimmering welcome for your guests.

So it is imperative that you decorate your dinner table and make your meal more inviting. You can use wood from your backyard to make makeshift cake stands. Use small name written placards and insert them into golden sleigh balls for a fantastic vintage setting.

3. Centerpieces: Centerpieces are the prime attraction of Christmas decorations. To give a singular, festive and delicious touch to the centerpiece you can mix some fluffy marshmallows and peppermint candies together. Place them in a large container and decorate it with shimmery ribbon bows. For the sides, you can place small containers decorated with ribbons and place chocolates and candies of a variety of shapes and colors.

4. Lights: What makes Christmas, Christmas, is the extraordinary light decoration. People love adorning their place with the right lights be it lamps or chandeliers. To make a the perfect Christmas light all you need is:

  • White colored ping pong balls
  • LED lights

Poke small holes in the ping pong balls and insert one LED light inside each ping pong ball. Decorate these balls anywhere you like and notice how they set the mood for a close-knit celebration with family and friends. Wrap them around on staircase railings and railings of the porch. You can also decorate a chandelier and give it a Christmas-y touch. Pluck some pine branches and attach them to the base of a chandelier. Use burlap ribbon to drape them. You can also use some glass embellishments to give the perfect ornamental look. You can highlight overhead lights by decorating them with snowflakes and dazzling trinkets. Opt for the cozy winter theme by using silver and blue knick knacks.

5. Greeting Display: Christmas is a ripe time to send and receive greetings from your friends, family, and acquaintances. You can bring in the greeting cheer by setting them on display. An old orchard staple can serve the purpose of displaying the greeting cards using thumb pins or clothespins after attaching them to a thin rope. A stack can be created using hangers, and the greetings can be hung on them using clothespins. A whiteboard can be used to write messages of love and celebration for each other.

6. Windows: There are numerous ways to bedeck your windows. You can hang glass crystals, colorful danglers and wreaths on them. You can also take empty glass jars, transparent vases, and glass hurricanes and fill them up with leftover ping pong balls after painting them with silver, gold and shimmery blue paint. You can also add greenery around them to create a rich setting. The windows will not only look decorated but will also add style to the overall decor of your home.

7. Christmas Tree: Christmas is never complete without the decoration of the Christmas tree. Instead of loading it up with all kinds of ornaments and decoratives, accessorize it in a way that makes it look classy and beautiful at the same time. You can grab balls of three to four different colors of the same palette say shimmery pink, shimmery purple and silver. Decorate your tree with these pop colors and add your singular touch by finishing the decoration with white colored feathers scattered all over the tree. This novelty will give your tree decoration an extraordinary twist.
