We all like to decorate during the holidays and it is fun to put your Christmas cheer on full display. If you are not looking to make any additional purchases this holiday season, please be sure to read on and learn more.
For example, did you know that a ladder can be used as a means of displaying some of your favorite holiday items?
This is an idea that has been in circulation for some time but has since become far more popular. Now that everyone is getting ready for the holidays, it has gained a lot of traction again. The good folks at DIY Pallets Ideas shared a photo of the design on Facebook and it really got people talking!
The Christmas village that they have crafted is positioned among fake trees, and cotton is used to represent the fake snow. A board is placed on each rung of the ladder, so that a fake shelf can be created. As the ladder progresses to the top, the boards get smaller and smaller. This allows the ladder to mirror the same shape and structure as the Christmas trees that we know and love.
Other setups of this nature rely on fake greenery that is wrapped around each side of the ladder. This allows it to look more like a Christmas tree as well.
@joette_florist_etc recently showcased their handiwork on TikTok and it is a sight for sore eyes. We love to see all of the cool decor that people break out of during this time of year.
@joette_florist_etc Let’s build a #vintage #christmasvillage ladder display! 🪄🎀🎄🏠✨ #makeitmagical #bowdabra #tipsfromaflorist #DIY #bowmaker #bow #christmasdecorations #BowdabraDIY #OldFashioned #oldfashionedchristmas #christmas2022 #divchristmasdecor
They took the time to wrap Christmas lights around their ladder and a red bow with gold trimming was placed on top. This allows for the creation of a highly festive showcase. The ladders that are used for this type of decor can be made out of a number of different materials. Fiberglass, wood and aluminum are included among them.
While we would love to say more, we can show you better than we can tell you. In order to learn more about these projects and how to handle one in your home, YouTuber and crafter Dale Lucid has a helpful tutorial.
He will show you how he painted his ladder, cut the shelves and offer further insights on all of the special flourishes that he added to it.
