Ideas For Decorating Small Windows For Christmas

Jane Merritt/The House That Lars Built

When it comes to putting up Christmas decorations around your house, there are so many items to check off the list: wreaths, garland, lights, and your towering tree, of course. One way to really dress your house up in its holiday best is by adorning it with beautiful Christmas window decorations, including candles, window boxes, festive curtains, and so much more. While DIY Christmas wreaths look splendid on your front door, you need a little something extra to really make those outdoor Christmas decorations pop!

If you want to get crafty, then take a look at these amazing DIY ideas for decorating your windows. Anyone who passes by your house will want to stop and gaze at your handiwork. Look to the idea for oversized ornaments hanging in front of your windowpanes or the simple candles to place in each windowsill, perfect for complementing any rustic Christmas decorations you already have. You can also try one of the Christmas garland ideas that include dried oranges or paper leaves to place on the inside of your windows for a cheery decoration in your kitchen. If you were looking for something small that would take your holiday trimmings to the next level, then these DIY Christmas window decorations are just what you need.
