Article Surfing ArchiveDecorate Your Stairway For Christmas - Articles SurfingIt truly is the most wonderful time of the year! And decorating for the holidays can be a pleasure in itself. Your house can be alive with the holiday spirit without putting a huge dent in your time and budget. It is helpful to simplify things. The tips offered here are fun and easy to do'you don't need to be a professional interior decorator to have a lovely holiday house! If you have a staircase or railing in your home or on the porch, it is easy to make it festive. Start by choosing fir garland. You can use real or fake, and there are upsides to both choices: the real thing has that Christmas tree pine smell that delights our senses, while the fake garland can be reused year after year, and doesn't pose a fire hazard. Once your garland is hung at even gently curved intervals from the stair railing, you can add your own personal touch. Use the following suggestions to get your creative holiday juices flowing. You may choose to string cranberries or popcorn as in the olden days. Or you can paint the edges of pine cones white to suggest snow (or leave them natural). Now add these winsome lovelies to your greenery by fastening with bright ribbons in white, green, red, blue, gold, or silver. If an outlet is handy, string indoor/outdoor Christmas lights to your garland. Make sure they are cool-burning, and do not leave unattended when lit. If your staircase or railing is long enough, you may want to hang Christmas wreaths at even intervals. If you have a landing at the bottom or middle of your staircase, group poinsettias or small potted pine trees in a. corner or two. Decorate with ornaments, ribbons, and bows. Or you can fill decorative baskets or containers with fragranced potpourri for an interesting display. Experiment to see what works for you. Once your staircase or railing is pleasing to your eye, you know you are finished!
