Christmas house decorations
Christmas decorations for the whole house... home-made too!
Once the advent calendar has been hung up, it's time for the entire house to be decorated - a process that can last for the whole month of December.
Some people will even take down their paintings and completely redecorate their walls! As far as wall decorations are concerned, others prefer simply to drape colored garlands and tinsel around the picture frames.
Embroiderers will just love recreating the motifs and designs they've done over the past years and will replace their sofa cushion covers with covers embroidered with Christmas-themed designs - and that's not to forget the towels and dishcloths that are brought out specially at this festive time of the year.
Here are a few ideas, a few well-explained craft designs to help you decorate walls, doors and lights... because it's not just the Christmas dining room table that has to have that festive look, but the whole house that has to get into the swing of Christmas things!
