One of the questions we have in mind when decorating our home for Christmas is the aftermath of the season.
How will you be able to use the Christmas decorations after the holidays? For sure you can keep some and use them next year.
But how Can you store them properly so that they still look good when you use them again? How about the others that cannot last that long like fresh Christmas wreaths? Here are some helpful ideas: * Disassemble the Christmas wreaths and reuse some of the materials next holiday season.
One example of this are the bows used to decorate the wreaths.
Flatten them neatly one loop at a time to keep them fresh until next year.
* If you used natural materials for your holiday wreaths, you can recycle the greens by putting them in a rented wood chipper and use them as mulch in your garden.
This will be very beneficial to the environment.
* For fresh Christmas wreaths, you can simply remove the fir or pine from the wreaths to use them as a beautiful, aromatic potpourri and enhance the beauty of your home.
* Artificial Christmas or door wreaths last long so they can still be used next year.
But you should put them inside a plastic bag before storing them in the cabinet or any storage location because they can easily get dusty.
* Redecorate the Christmas wreaths into something that would fit in other holidays such as Valentine's day, Easter, or Mother's day.
You can also decorate them for the Autumn or Spring season.
Why would you put your wreaths to waste when you can recycle and reuse them? You can also do this to other Christmas decorations.
This way, you will not only be able to save cost for your interior designs and Christmas decorations for next year but you will also be able to help protect the environment.
The several tips mentioned above are simple yet very helpful.
So keep them in mind and let these tips guide you after the Christmas holidays.
