Tips For Outdoor Xmas Decorations Part 1

Have you just laid a beautiful backdrop with nice strips, wired lights, candles and other assortments for your outdoor Xmas decorations? Well if you have, then don’t stop at that because there are so much more you can do to clothe your house from the outside.

The great thing about outdoor decorations is that you can see your beautiful work from far, and strangers or neighbours driving past will definitely marvel at your masterpiece. Let us discuss more advanced decorations you can do to your yard.

Once you get your base of colors going around your house walls and doors, the next simplest thing you can do is to add a warm Welcome Home Sign above your door or at your gate. A sign is simple enough to make, requiring only some basic tools such as a jigsaw and file. As for materials, you can pick normal plywood that is common in super marts as they are cheap and resistant to the elements.

To make your sign, take out your piece of plywood and draw cutting lines with pencil. Once you measure out your desired size, you can cut along those lines with your jigsaw in a straightforward manner without much difficulty. For easier cutting, put a block of wood on your plywood core and align your jigsaw so that it is pressing against the block. This is to ensure you get a clean cut. Any jagged edges can then be filed away to your satisfaction.

Once that is done, you can start making your actual words with small wired lights that are battery operated. These are again easily available in Christmas stores and are pretty affordable so take your pick of colors. You can also mix in glossy marker paints and glitter dust for more design variety.

When finished, attach a small rope to your sign and leave it hanging above your door or on your gate. That’s it! Another little work of art done for Christmas!

How To Make Outdoor Xmas Decorations Part 2

In the first part of my Outdoor Xmas Decorations tips, I’ve introduced the fine idea of a Welcome Home signboard. While that is a nice little addition, I bet you’ll find your yard still kind of empty and lacking in something. Fret not, as this article was written to give you even more ideas on outdoor Xmas decorations.

We are now going to do a little something to the yard area, and what more appropriate decorations are there than a snowman? If you are thinking that it’s too early to snow or you live in a tropical country, don’t worry as we are actually going to make a handicraft snowman instead.

The best material for making snowmen is particle board. Although flat in thickness, joining them together in a cross like fashion can give a close 3D feel and that is good enough. Particle board is chosen mainly because it is cheap and extremely easy to work with. Particle board is also pretty resistant and can stand up to punishment from the weather so shop for at least two big ones in your local DIY store.

The first thing you need to do is to mark out your cutting lines. Use big round objects or a big compass to help you trace three overlapping circles of different sizes on the first board, with the biggest circle forming the base. Once done, take your second board and mark only one circle.

Be sure to leave the base of the both boards flat so it can stand. Use your saw or knife to cut along marked lines for both boards. You should now have two boards, one with a full body of three circles (your main board) and a second one with only one big circle at its base (the support board).
