Wouldn’t it be nice to make Christmas easier - to have a few tricks up your sleeve to get you through the holidays? Whether it’s gift giving or cooking, there are some Christmas hacks that will make your life easier. Let’s take a closer look at the things that will make your Christmas just a bit easier.
Use Garland to Create a Fuller Tree
A tree that’s a great deal can sometimes not be as full as we would like. No problem. You can use garland to fill out the tree. You can find 15’ lengths of garland at the Dollar Tree. You’ll be surprised at how nice you can make your tree look with just a bit of work.
Hang Christmas Lights in a Zigzag Pattern
If your tree is going in a corner, there is no need to hang lights in the back of your tree. This means you can use a zigzag pattern along the front of the tree. This uses less lights and makes lighting your tree so much easier.
Pour Royal Icing Into Squeeze Bottles for Easy Cookie Decorating
You can find squeeze bottles at the Dollar Tree. Purchase as many as you need for different colors. This will make it so much easier to decorate Christmas cookies. If you’re decorating a lot of cookies, this tip will save you so much time.
Place Zip Ties on Ornaments for Easy Hanging
Don’t want to fool with ornament hooks each year? No problem. Use zip ties in festive colors to create loops on all your ornaments. No more fooling with hooks.
Remove Tree Sap with Toothpaste
Are your hands covered in tree sap after bringing in the tree? No problem. Use toothpaste to easily remove it.
Instantly Decorate the Dining Room
Use ribbons tied to ornaments to decorate your chandelier. You can cut the ribbon at varying lengths so the ornaments hang at different lengths. This gives your dining room a festive touch without a lot of work.
Add Crushed Peppermint to Everything
What could be more Christmassy than peppermint? Use a food processor to crush up some candy canes and then add the powder to everything. You can rim a mug for hot chocolate with it. You can add it to the top of whipped cream when serving eggnog. It’s even great on top of Oreos dipped in white chocolate.
There are so many little things you can do to make Christmas easier and a bit more magical.
