UNIQUE CHRISTMAS DECORATION
I keep this old ladder in my family room with blankets folded over it. The blankets are there to curl up under on the couch, they add some color and texture to my room and they help absorb sounds in my room, too. I have been putting up my Christmas tree and the rest of my decorations and looked at that old ladder. I thought it needed a little “fixing up” for the holidays too! You can see more of my crafts and creations here.
I took the blankets off of my ladder and stood it up near my mantel. It looks a little naked at this point.
I had a couple of artificial garlands so I began with those, attaching one to the top of the ladder on one side. I simply used pipe cleaners to secure it.
My second garland was attached the same way on the other side of the ladder. I let this garland go to the floor and then attached it where the top reached to.
The theme I have decided to use for Christmas this year is candy canes and gingerbread. I found this cute little gingerbread decoration designed to stick in your yard. I removed to spikes and attached this to my ladder with some pipe cleaners. She adds some definite JOY to my blanket ladder.
Now my ladder is really getting fun! I added a pair of gingerbread stockings and some little gingerbread fabric ornaments.
I added some fun Red and white striped ribbon with green wired edges. A big bow and long ribbon tails finished off my festive display! I would love to have you stop by my blog, Celebrate & Decorate for the full tutorial as well as sign up for my latest creations, posts, recipes, exclusives, and more...
