You can create the pretty decoration from empty boxes that you wrap with leftover wrapping paper or use colorful plastic film. Add the finishing touches to your homemade gift packages with gift ribbons or cute bows. For a uniform decoration, you can also distribute the gifts along the garden path or hang them decoratively in the trees.
Create outdoor Christmas decorations with lanterns
If you want to conjure up great lighting accents in the outdoor area, lanterns decorated for Christmas are particularly suitable. Regardless of whether you prefer the soft and warm candlelight or would rather create a sparkling composition with LED lights, lanterns are great decorative elements that have decorative value and bring a feeling of warmth to the cold December evenings.
One large or several small glass lanterns are an excellent decoration idea. You can use them to create an original Christmas decoration that suits your taste. For example, you can achieve a breathtakingly great effect by placing pine or pine cones in the lanterns and adding LED Christmas lighting. A simple garland with small lights is enough to create a festive atmosphere.
