Christmas can be the busiest time of the year for all of us. And sometimes we got busy in our houses too because we all want it be decorated perfectly with as little stress and time as possible. Curtains pose a problem for many people because they are expensive and time consuming to make. You can try these for time and money saving effort on decorating your curtain for Christmas:
Find some bells at a local craft store and ribbon that will match your holiday decoration. Measure from the curtain rod to where you want the bell to hang. Loop the ribbon over the curtain rod. String one end of the ribbon through the top of the bell and tie a bow. Continue adding bells evenly spaced and at various lengths until you have completed a window. If bells don’t fit into your holiday decorations try ornaments, paper snowflakes or if you are going with an old fashioned holiday theme try apples or dried orange slices.
Another quick way to dress up is to get garland. Use floral wire and nails to attach the garland to the wall at the corners of the window. Let the middle create a gentle curve and the ends hang down. If you have tie back curtains, you can create a holiday tie back that will match the rest of your holiday decoration. You can attach pinecones to the ends of rope, use ornaments, a large bow with holly sprigs, miniature wreaths or fake flowers such as poinsettias.
Create a garland of Christmas cards to adorn your windows. Find pretty ribbon to match the holiday décor you already have. Choose different Christmas cards for a varied look, or use all the same cards. Punch holes on the sides of the card so that when you string it onto the ribbon the card will be right side up. Tie bows at the ends and hang it from the corners of the window.
You can also use fake snow to decorate your window treatments. Put some along the top, and anywhere else it would stay if snow had really fallen inside. For extra sparkly you could string white Christmas lights behind and underneath the snow.
