How to Make Beautiful Christmas Decorations for the Terrace
If you're getting ready to create Christmas decorations and make your outdoor space extra cozy, use the terrace when you want to be creative. If you have a table to work at, that's most optimal. It's a great way to engage your outdoor area, and it also keeps you from making a mess indoors. Home stylist Lene Eriksen shows how you can easily and quickly make a wreath from, for example, bay leaves. Additionally, she demonstrates how to make a beautiful outdoor Advent wreath with lanterns and live candles, which decorates the terrace table - and is beautiful to look out at from inside the living room.
A wreath made of wild carrot is beautiful and lasts a long time. You can find it in ditches and in the wild nature. Branches of red dogwood create a beautiful element on, for example, a concrete wall as shown above. A good tip is that you don't need to be so precise when you make your wreath. The more random - the prettier and wilder your wreath will be.
> Outdoor Advent Wreath...
When you're making an outdoor Advent wreath - use what you have in storage of glass lanterns, preferably in different colors, and place them randomly on a tray, for example, made of zinc. Fill up with moss, cones, apples, and spruce branches. The more random, the better the expression.
> Use the Terrace All Year Round...
Your terrace can offer much more than just standing empty and abandoned when winter comes. Even though it's raw cold and a bit wet, it also has its charm. Read here how you can use the terrace when, for example, making jam with sea buckthorn and plums and the world's best shortcrust cookies.
