Christmas is creeping ever nearer, but there\u2019s still time to add some festive decorations to make
\nyour home feel festive \u2013 especially if you get creative.
\nGlasgow kitchen<\/a> design experts DM Design has these tips for last-minute crafty tips for the
\nfestive home. They\u2019re cheap too, so you shouldn\u2019t need to break the bank at the most expensive
\ntime of the year!<\/p>\n

1. Go outside and forage. Mother Nature has created some ready-made treats that make
\nwonderful decorations in the home. Go for a walk and see what you can find. Fresh holly
\nand cuttings of evergreen plants will bring the rich greens of nature straight into your
\nhome, and a collection of pine cones \u2013 spritzed with white or silver spray paint \u2013 will
\ncreate a wonderful festive effect!<\/p>\n

2. Dry citrus fruit. Display bowls and jars filled with dry citrus, in particular oranges, looks
\nand smell extremely festive. They\u2019re easy to do yourself too! Thinly slice the fruit to start,
\nplace on a baking sheet (stud with cloves for even more festivity) and bake on a low heat
\nfor two hours (or until dried out). Delicious!<\/p>\n

3. Have a jar or two. Mason jars \u2013 or old jam jars \u2013 can be filled with lots of festive items
\nthat can give your home a festive vibe. Candles or battery-powered fairy lights add
\nillumination, and then you can mix with your choice of greenery, ribbons (not with a
\nnaked flame!) dried fruit, baubles and other decorations.<\/p>\n

4. Make the most of your Christmas cards. If you\u2019re lucky enough to get an abundance
\nof Christmas cards, there\u2019s plenty you can do with them. Glue the backs together into a
\ncircle to make a wreath, or hang into a tree shape on the back of doors or a feature wall.<\/p>\n

5. Get edible and incredible. Get your apron on and bake up a festive treat this winter.
\nBut instead of eating the fruits of your labours, bake decorative treats instead. Try a
\ntraditional gingerbread house (that can be demolished as soon as the big day is over) or
\nsimple iced biscuits that look beautiful on the tree<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
