Looking for some creative ways to decorate your home during the holidays? You've come to the right place, friend. Sears Imported Autos has all sorts of ways for you to add a bit of festive cheer to your world this holiday season.
Begin your holiday decorations with a creative touch at your front door. Send a message to neighbors and welcome visitors with a warm collection of leaves and stalks of wheat or colorful gourds around Thanksgiving. Afterward, decorate your door itself with a bow-enhanced wreath or a 'bouquet' of evergreens mixed with bright red berries. If Colonial America is your theme, do some research to discover the favorite door decorations of that era.
Nativity sets are a traditional feature of many home holiday decorations. Enhance your scene with a rich jacquard table runner or surround with evergreens and silvery stars. You might even add small white lights to add mystique.
Do you have an old pair of skates, a vintage baby dress or equally interesting piece to add new interest to your holiday decor? Hang in an unusual place and add rich and festive fabric bows to complete the holiday spirit.
An all-time favorite classic is the traditional wreath, and making your own "Memory Wreath" will add a uniquely personal touch. Start with either a straw or faux evergreen, pre-made wreath to which you will add your own mementos - a ski lift ticket, a child's little teapot, tiny framed photos of your loved ones, a favorite earring, a souvenir from a favorite vacation. The options are endless and exciting, and you and your family will enjoy adding new items each year. And speaking of wreaths, you can create one for every type of holiday from Valentine's Day and July 4th to Thanksgiving and New Years.
Homemade stockings and tree skirts also make a very personal addition to your holiday home decor. Each year, those familiar items come out of the well-packed boxes to reinforce your important family traditions. If you love Early American themes, create your stockings and skirt from colorful patchwork quilt squares. If elegance is your chosen theme, find lush fabrics in jacquards or brocades to add a sophisticated touch. As with all of your home decor, you will want to choose a particular "feeling" or theme and carry it through your home - to the bathroom door and the children's rooms - to the dining table and the kitchen. Let the joy and celebration of the holidays lift spirits in every room.
Candles add a very special mood to holiday decorations. Lovely scents like bayberry, pine, or cinnamon fill the air and offer soft light for any room. Embellish your candle settings with glittery pine cones or vivid red ribbons, but be very careful to avoid having anything flammable close to the flame.
A final Sears Imported Autos distinctive decorating touch could be something you have painted yourself - a canvas for the wall, a tray for cookies, or a gilded box to hold greens and ornaments. Every home mirrors the life within, and your family will treasure the thoughtful traditions you establish each season.
