Christmas decorating with bulbs…loads of style on a budget!!!

I really had a fun time decorating my kitchen this Christmas Season… using my Christmas tree bulbs was cheap, easy and festive! Anyone can do this~

First gather your decorative Christmas bulbs you didn’t put on your tree, then collect things from your cupboards you already have like: rose bud vases, pretty glasses, a cake plate, clear glass items show your bulbs off best. Shinny bulbs of all shapes and sizes will work, it is ok to use different colored ones too or try all the same depending on your décor` and taste.

Dabble your bulbs in and around your accessories, add a sprig or two of pine or your favorite Christmas candle! It is so easy to take a plane shinny bulb and mix it up with a few others… perhaps in a clear glass pitcher or a canister meant for flour & sugar. Look around your house you probably have items stored away for those fancy dinners we never really have, maybe you have your Grandma’s china that would look gorgeous with Christmas colors… bring them out of hiding so you can decorate beautifully without breaking your budget!  Everything I used to decorate my kitchen was already in my house~  Curio cabinets also look festive with a few bulbs tucked here and there on the shelves, when the light hits them they shine with Christmas cheer!

When you are out after the Holiday’s shopping those 60% off deals pick up a couple boxes of shinny Christmas tree ornaments, next year you will have a blast decorating with them!

Happy decorating & Merry Christmas, Karol
