I have three wrought iron chairs and two side tables with sliding glass doors. I would love some inexpensive fall and Christmas decorating ideas. There is one outlet on the patio. All ideas gratefully accepted. Please show me your artistic outdoor ideas! Thanks so much!

    Check out your local dollar stores for inexpensive decorating pieces....I have gotten the majority of my solar lights there, at Christmas you can get inexpensive but pretty Christmas ornaments, they change their decorating items based on the season so there's lots of pieces you can purchase without breaking the bank. whatever you decide to do, don't forget to highlight your area with lighting...outdoor lights can be purchased around Christmas time (if you wait until after christmas.....huge discounts) and keep them up year round!

    Whenever I need seasonal decorations indoor or outdoor I had to the dollar store first. They always have a great selection for any holiday or season. You can't get better on a budget than that.

    Thank you all for your suggestions! Love Dollar Tree! I found a 4 ft. ceramic snow man at St. Vincent de Paul. Couldn't pass it up for $5.00. It weights a ton but where the hat should be there is like an oval bowl that looks like a rectangular sombrero. Got any ideas how to decorate this? I thought about putting a hat on him, anchoring it down somehow and maybe outlining it with a string of lights or putting snowballs in it! Very strange but cute! Help!

    If you have a railing, there are so many banners, lights, and outdoor Christmas ornaments you could hang and not use up floor space. Also, most lights can be bought either solar or get a timer and use it to turn lights on and off. No, late trips out in the cold to turn them off. A huge wreath would look great on the railing. There are lots of stick up vinyl decorations for your sliders also.

    Bird seed in the snow man top? or some green garland and white fairy lights. Little baubles?

    I'm guessing without a photo? Are there two large windows with sliding glass door? Add lighted colored leaves as in the first photo and add two wreaths and do the same for Christmas and add wrapped boxes in Christmas paper with a bow and be sure to weight them down inside with a brick or rocks. Here are some pictures for your project📌
