Create a “white Christmas” using a little imagination and a few simple decorations. Whether you want a touch of glittery snow or a breathtaking white room, the ideas below will help you bring a winter wonderland to life.

Bed of Snow

Instead of tucking a traditional tree skirt around the base of your tree, try a sheet of white cotton quilt batting instead. Use glitter to transform this soft, snow-like cloth into a sparkling sheet perfect for tucking presents beneath the branches.

Winter-White Tree

Whether flocked or ordinary, your tree’s ornaments can create a “white Christmas” in the forest or the chic style of the city. Explore a winter wonderland using glittery white snowflake ornaments, white lights, and clear or white icicle ornaments dangling from the branches. Frosted pine cones and white mushroom birds complete this forest scene.

For a more contemporary look, use shiny white balls with silvery accents or create your own white ornaments using scissors, white poster board, glue, and glitter. Trace your favorite designs from cookie cutters or stencils, then cut and decorate with white and silver glitter. Other cool white ornaments include white sea shells (simply glue a ribbon to the back) or white doily snowflakes made from starched antique linens.

Snowball Scenes

Form snowball pyramid cones, ornaments, or wreaths using Styrofoam balls with a little glue and glitter. The large ones are perfectly sized for representing snowballs; smaller ones make perfect chains for trees, with few snowflakes strung here and there. Form a wreath for your door or wall using glue, wire, glitter, and a little snowflake or greenery tinsel.

Celebrate a white Christmas no matter how warm your climate (or how deep the snow is outside) using a few creative ideas. Combine your own imagination with the basics to come up with new “white Christmas” combinations that bring to life the magic of a winter wonderland.
