Outdoor Christmas trees. In scale and grandeur, there
aren't many holiday decorations that can compete!
Here's how to make yours
merry and bright!
With the cooler weather, it's just too easy to
dismiss the outdoors and curl up by the fire.
But there's lots of beauty
in the winter landscape, just begging to be dressed up and
noticed.
Think of it: Christmas's red and green, Hanukkah's
silver and blue, New Year's gold and silver.
The holidays serve up a
once-a-year chance to have a little bit of everything!
So add a dose of delight,
throw color caution to the wind, and dress your outdoor trees for
Christmas in a wild mix of crafty elements that say Happy
Holidays!
Your guests and your
neighbors will be absolutely amazed and delighted by all your crafty
efforts!
A
bright and festive outdoor Christmas tree brings out the party in
everyone!
And the not-so-subtle holiday backdrop that
these well-dressed trees provide plays well against the more
traditional
outdoor Christmas displays and other holiday bric-a-brac you have planned
for your yard.
Put a little spin on the typical
outdoor Christmas decorations to capture a warmth and brightness that almost
everyone could use a little more of during Christmas time.
Using lots of wooden ornaments, shiny metals and
patterned balls is essential.
You can even re-purpose old burned out
light bulbs as hand-painted one-of-a-kind ornaments.
This is your chance to go for a bold, eclectic
mix.
So whether you want a look that's
country rustic, or city slick, or somewhere in between, there are
garlands, and miniature gift boxes, and glittering pine cones, and
gold-laden snowflakes, and painted fruits for every taste to suit
any mood.
Classic holiday outdoor decor may not have you thinking
pink, turquoise, lime green, or sunny yellow, but all these tones
deserve a position in the Yuletide panorama.
An explosion of color keeps the mood
light and festive. Especially when the landscape is dominated by
winter gray days and cold nights.
But, if diving into these bright, cheery hues,
makes you a little nervous, just add a splash or three.
You'll find that a
little goes a long way.
The key to a fabulous outdoor decor is
surprise, surprise, surprise!
Get creative with clever and unexpected touches and
you'll have your guests and your neighbors giving you high-fives for
your craftiness!
