Outdoor Christmas Decorating. Turn Your Garden Into a Light Show

Christmas lighting on the streets and in the shops is just magical, so how about bringing some of that magic around your house as well. Here are some outdoor Christmas decorating ideas to create a dreamy, sparkling setting just outside your door.

1. Outdoor Christmas decorating. Light balls

These huge light balls will instantly transform your garden into a magical place.

Here is how to make them at home, with chicken wire and LED lights.

Cut, then roll in the chicken wire to create a cylinder shape and fix it.

Bind the edges with some wire into a round shape.

Wrap the lights around the ball, in and out of the wire, to secure it.

Plug in and turn on the light balls. If you’re lucky to have snow around, the light show will be even more spectacular.

 

2. Outdoor Christmas decorating. Light in a Bottle

A cheap and easy way to brighten your garden is this unique decoration using wine or beer bottles to spread the light around.

 

Wash your old bottles, remove their stickers and fill them with lights.

Use a long garland to bind this exquisite ornaments together and create this amazing effect.

 

3. Outdoor Christmas decorating. In a bucket

You can use a metal bucket to create a pretty festive decoration like this.

Fill it with fir, mistletoe or decorative branches and fire wood wrapped in lights.

Add some Christmas tree globes and a ribbon for more colour.
