Christmas is soon approaching, so it is time for you to make plans and preparations for that very special western Christmas. Whether it is your first Christmas or one of many Christmas' make it a memorable one for friends and family. The following article provides design tips, available resources, and a few western decor products to help you get started creating that one-of-a-kind western Christmas.
For those who are not suave western decor designers, this is a must read article! If you love western decor design and publish articles in glossy magazines, this maybe a yawn for you. We can start with western decor tips. Often people panic at Christmas because of the increased cost of gifts, food, travel, lodging, and all of the other hidden expenses of the holiday. So, if you are on a tight budget, but want to decorate in a big western way, try pulling from your own resources. How about used boots, hats, western ties, spurs, and the list could go on! Now, what would you do with old used cowboy gear? Probably spray a little Lysol in the boots for starters, but don't clean or very little. Rustic appeal is hot right now, so don't go overboard with shinning up the ole' cowboy boots. Take all of your own western items and turn them into decor- centerpieces for the table, stockings for the kids and adults, lariat rope wreaths, spurs for hanging stockings, western tie card holders, cowboy hats on the tree, star garland made from discarded Texas or Wyoming license plates, red hankies for napkins, and the possibilities are endless. Do not be afraid to experiment with fabric, lights, and greenery, they accent the beauty of your decorations and home.
Don't forget about fresh sprigs of ceder or pine for the front porch or foyer decorations, some can be found at no cost from local farms. If you do not live close to a ranch or farm that has ample supplies, check at your local farmers market or tree stands to purchase your own. Want to add some more flavor to your home other than pine and cedar? What about fresh apple cider or coca brewing when guest come calling, smells create memories! Try serving in the old western styled tin cups- sometimes your local resale or thrift shop will have them available for purchase. Don't be afraid to scour the used clothing and resale shops for items that may make your western Christmas perfect without tipping the bank.
The best way to decide what kind of western Christmas decor you want to display and use are print and the Internet. You will find a host of magazines for free or to purchase at a reduced cost at your local library.
