I have a red adirondack chair outside I'd like to use for Christmas, any suggestions for decorating it?

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Nov 25, 2012Perhaps a photo so people can get an idea of its location and what it looks like exactly. This will bring out a lot of creative ideas for you. Just be careful of what your asking for, you will find yourself quite busy with all the great ideas that will follow.Helpful Reply

Tracy W on Nov 26, 2012Go to your local thrift store and find a lantern to put on one arm. On the other I would put a holiday tartan blanket (I found a long tartan wool skirt from the thrift store and cut it so it was a big piece of fabric and bunched it so it looked like a blanket. Find a smaller wreath and hang it on the back. It will look totally adorable especially since it is red. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Vicki Owen on Nov 26, 2012I can turn it either way but like it best facing the driveway. Thanks Tracy, I like your idea and I actually have a lantern so it would be just the tartan. Other ideas are still welcome too since I won't be decorating until this weekend :)Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Nov 26, 2012Love the chair! I like the position of the second picture. Perhaps you could put a pot of evergreens on the seat with some Christmas decorations added (bulbs, ribbons etc.) and I love the idea of incorporating a lantern on one of the arms. Good luck! Thanks for posing the question and please post a final pic of your project :)Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Nov 27, 2012Ask your local hardware or appliance stores for pieces of foam packing material (they usually discard) and then using a serrated knife, cut different size squares. Paint them different colors and put ribbon on them to make packages....add glitz and glitter galore! Stack them in the seat of the chair and then add some greenery, red berries, or accent pieces and showcase with a spot light.Helpful Reply

Vicki Owen on Dec 01, 2012I like Tracy's idea and actually found a tartan skirt at the Salvation Army today and a wreath for 99 cents...........going to try it. I also like Jeanette's idea....so thanks to all who answered. I'm not a very crafty person and love this website for ideas.Helpful Reply

Dee @ deeconstructed.com on Dec 07, 2012I'd stage it as Santa's seat for kids & add a "Santa's on break" sign painted & propped up against it. Maybe put his hat on the seat or a pair of boots off to the side...Helpful Reply

Vicki Owen on Dec 07, 2012I took Tracy's idea and since it's not a traditional adirondack chair I put the lantern on the chair, then put a low spotlight on it. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Thanks....I've gotten some nice compliments on it :)Helpful Reply

Diena Cameron on Apr 27, 2015@Vicki Owen, That turned out adorable. Love the addition of the plant. Looks like total Christmas to me. I see this is an old post (seems I'm always behind the times, lol.) Oh well, hope you had a great Christmas ( =Helpful Reply
