How To Flaunt Your Old Candles
♦ Start off with cleaning and polishing your candle holders. ♦ Choose candles which will go well with the general flow of decorations and the tableware. ♦ Tie bows to the candlesticks or candle holders or directly on the candles. Make sure that you tie the ribbons below the burn area in case you are tying the ribbons to the candles directly.
♦ An odd numbered arrangement of candles will be unique than one having even numbers. ♦ Be it a coffee table, fireplace mantle, or side table, this decorating idea wins hands down.
♦ Use a variety of candle holders to jazz up the decorations. ♦ For a variation, you can keep the candlesticks on a tray, with pine boughs underneath. Also spray some artificial snow around the base.
The Christmas Tree
Can Christmas be replete without a Christmas tree? No! Hence let's embellish the Christmas tree now.
♦ It's all about the harmony of colors and ornaments! Buy a nice fir or spruce tree, get hold of one/two categories of ornaments, and do not deviate from that. ♦ Have enough of those strands of cute and tiny white lights - they resonate class. Nothing else can replace these beautiful decorating pieces.
♦ Beginning with these lights, add the Christmas ornaments on the background one by one. ♦ Check for symmetry and re-arrange if necessary. ♦ To make your tree look gorgeous, position your best ornaments well.
