Creative Decorations for Personalized Christmas Outdoor Decor

Here are some of our favorite outdoor Christmas decorations:

  • Outdoor Christmas tree – If you have a yard, then an outdoor tree is a great way to add some extra sparkle to your holiday season.
  • Christmas lights – Lighting up your house is one of the most effective ways to create an enchanting atmosphere. You can use lights on trees, garlands, and even on your roof if it doesn’t go too high. There are so many different types of Christmas lights available today that it can be hard to choose between them all. If you’re looking for something simple, try battery-operated LED fairy lights. They come in all shapes and sizes and they offer a lower price point than traditional light strands. They also don’t require any electrical wiring or outlets, making them easy to install and move around whenever you need them most.
  • Christmas lawn art – Lawn art is fun because it’s just as much about decorating the outside of your home as it is about entertaining guests who stop by for visits throughout the holiday season. There are many different varieties of lawn art available that include everything from snowmen to reindeer statues.
  • Decorate your front door with garlands and wreaths: If you live in a house or apartment with a front door that faces the street, then this is an excellent way to welcome guests into your home during this festive season. You can choose from different kinds of garlands, such as those made from pine cones or flowers. You can also choose from different types of wreaths that come in various sizes and shapes.
  • Attach lights to hanging flower baskets and place them around your house and yard for decoration purposes. You can also use these as part of other festive decorating ideas such as lining the walkway with lights along the sidewalk leading up to your front door (or any other entrance).
  • Make snow globes. These are easy to make and will keep your kids entertained for hours on end. All you need is water, glitter, glue and small toys. Pour water into the jar, then add glitter and glue the toys on top before putting the lid on the jar and shaking it vigorously.
  • Create luminaries. Luminaries are not only fun but they also look great when placed around your home or garden at night! To make them, you’ll need two large cardboard tubes (one larger than the other), some paint, oilcloth fabric (available at most craft stores) and candles (or fairy lights). Cut a hole at one end of each tube so that they fit together snugly; then paint them in your chosen colors using acrylic paint designed especially for use outdoors (the kind that won’t fade).
