It’s time to decorate your home for Christmas. The choice is vast in the decoration shop. For a simple and refined decoration, opt for a pretty Christmas wreath on your front door and a small light garland in the living room. For a more traditional decoration, do not hesitate to accumulate garlands throughout the house, to multiply the decorations in the tree, without forgetting the nativity scene at the foot of the latter.
The Christmas wreath is the queen of the holiday season! It dresses your front door as well as it decorates your walls or your furniture. It can even serve as a centerpiece for your party tables! Buy it ready-made at your florist, artificial at your decoration store, or make it. For a traditional Christmas, we put on a wreath made of fir branches, pine cones and small red decorations. But the Christmas wreath wants to be more and more original: in eucalyptus leaves, in red berries, with small wooden animals, or even illuminated, you’re spoiled for choice!

But be careful, for a complete nativity scene, don’t forget all the characters, the traditional nativity scene is made up of the baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary, not forgetting the donkey and the ox, but also the Three Kings. Do not hesitate to watch our tutorial above to make your Christmas crib.
