If you are enthusiastic about Christmas, it’s likely you stock up on decorations whenever you find ones you like or that are on sale or both. This is a great way to ensure you have enough, but what if you wind up with too much? Then what?
This article will give you great ideas on what you can do with your extra Christmas Decorations.
Create a Centerpiece
Probably the easiest way to use the decorations you can’t find space for is to throw them all in a bowl that can then be used as a centerpiece for a coffee table, the dining room table and more. Add pinecones and branches to provide an earthy look.
Use Them as A Christmas Tree Skirt
If you notice that the area under your Christmas tree is looking sparse, place your ornaments there. Layer them upward toward the tree so they can serve the purpose of keeping your floor protected as well.
Put Them in a Cake Dish
Similar to the centerpiece idea, placing ornaments in a cake dish gives them a platform as well as an upright, clear case where they can be displayed. Use it as a centerpiece or place it in a display case for maximum effect.
Use Them in a Vignette
If you are a fan of holiday vignettes, you are bound to find a place for your extra ornaments. A holiday vignette is a Christmas scene and there’s no end to the things you can add including tree decorations, figurines and more. If you can’t find a way to include your extras in your current vignettes, make new ones!
Add Them to Your Window
Christmas just isn’t Christmas without window decorations. If there’s a bare window in your home, use your leftovers to dress it up. Decorations can be placed in the windowsill, around the window frame or directly in the window giving you plenty of opportunity to use what you got.
Decorate Your Mantle
A mantle makes a central location for Christmas decorations. If yours isn’t decorated, what’s holding you back? Get on that ASAP.
Add Them to Existing Displays
Got a China cabinet in your home? There’s always room for more to display. Add your figurines and ornaments to increase the festive look of your existing décor.
Get the Other Rooms in Your Home
Remember, your Christmas display isn’t limited to your living room. Extra ornaments can be placed in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, dens or wherever else they will fit.
Buying an excess of Christmas decorations is never a bad thing. You’ll always find something fun to do with them. The tips in this article will get you headed in the right direction. How will you be using your overflow?
