In the southern
hemisphere, winter falls in July.
Therefore in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa,
in order to have Christmas with a winter feel, Christmas
in July events are
undertaken. Accordingly, we thought we
would offer some décor ideas for all your Christmas in July festivities.
The most obvious would be
a white Christmas tree decorated with red and blue ornaments and lights. Now other countries aren’t going to see the
irony in decorating a tree in red and blue, but here in America, red, white and
blue decorations in July just seem natural.
We have several red and blue ornaments to choose from - matte, glitter,
small, large – the options are numerous.
Throw some red, white, and blue ribbon on your tree, and it’s the
perfect addition to your July décor.
Create a spectacular
ornament tree…on canvas! Find a canvas
size that suits your space, choose some red, white, and blue ornaments, and
simply poke the wire through the canvas into a Christmas tree pattern. This would be a wonderful addition to any
wall, and if you stuck with red, white, and blue, could be used for your
holiday décor later in the year as well.
In the red, white, and
blue theme, our new picks could be easily transformed into bouquets. Create multiples to set around the house in
several different areas. Toss some into clear
glass containers to create quick and easy centerpieces for your Christmas in
July themed parties. Red, white, and
blue ornaments can be added for some extra depth to the centerpieces.
A Christmas tree shape on
any wall with string lights would be one way to decorate if you want to avoid
the red, white, and blue color scheme.
You can create ‘ornaments’ to hang on your tree using flower heads
secured with fishing wire. This would be
a wonderful way to bring some of the outdoors inside!
If the tropics is more
your style, simply decorate a wreath using seashells! This tropical themed wreath could grace your
front door, welcoming your guests with warm thoughts of far off lands.
How do you celebrate
Christmas in July? What are some of the
decorations you have created in the past, or do you intend to use for this
year’s festivities? We love to hear your
