Well not yet. At least not yet at my house. However, I did decorate the bannister (where we used to hang the stockings) for Christmas. I was cruising the internet looking at beautifully decorated staircases and here is what I was drooling over:
I love it! But being short on time and not having the supplies to make it or having an outlet nearby to use lights, I knew I couldn’t make that one. But I really liked the full, lush look of it. And it inspired me to come up with something using what I already had. I found some white poinsettia garland in my box of “I’ll find a way to use this some year” Christmas decorations. I think I got it at an after-Christmas clearance sale at Jo-Ann. I took that garland and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped, and here it is:
I love the full look of it, it didn’t cost a dime and it sparkles! Since it is a light color, there’s no need for lights, yay! (but you can bet if there was a nearby outlet, there would be lights on it!) How are you decorating your bannisters this year? If you don’t have a mantel, where do you hang your stockings? I’m working on a new idea on what I’m doing with those this year!
Jeanie what a gorgeous railing decoration you’ve made! It is so nice and lush looking! Good for you using something you already had, too!
Thanks Kristie!
Really beautiful.
Thanks Susie! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
