Here's an idea for a winter garland that can be put up at Christmas (although it need not be) and then stay in place for the wintry months. I keep mine up all year and change its decor with the seasons.
I have a gorgeous evergreen garland (which I got for free) with
attached pinecones and berries. I have woven a string of white lights into the
garland. I keep it above my picture window and, as I mentioned, change it up seasonally.

| Sometimes I add other fun items, like this Christmas card, to the garland as well as snowflakes and icicles. |
Now, right after Christmas, might be the perfect time to find an evergreen garland inexpensively. So if you are interested in one, shop the clearance sales when the Christmas items go to 75% or 90% off!
For Christmas, I often trim our picture-window garland with glittery
iridescent snowflakes and icicles (both plastic), as seen at the top of the post. The snowflakes are glitter-coated, also. The lights glimmering
against the snowflakes and icicles give a truly magical effect. The
nicest thing is that I can keep these trims in place all winter!
That’s a delightful addition to your beautiful picture window. How neat that you add seasonal decor all year through. What happens to it in spring? summer? fall leaves I would imagine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vee! In spring and summer I use some little birdhouses I made out of the mini craft sticks. Yes, leaves in fall, and sometimes some fall flower lights that my granddaughter and I made years ago.
DeleteVery pretty and a great idea for a year-round fun decoration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! I've had it for years and I still love it!
DeleteThe garland with the lights looks so pretty. I love that you keep it up all winter!
ReplyDeleteI need the sparkle!
