 | Have you decided to decorate your holiday home with angels, the winged protectors and messengers that always surround us? If so, there are few limits to the angel themed ornaments and home decor that you will find. Here are just ten ideas for decorating your home with angels this Christmas.
Look for a throw blanket with the image of an angel on it. Spread over your lap while cuddling and sipping hot cocoa.
Think candles. Candles can be found molded into the shape of angels and cherubs’ faces. Candles with angels printed on them are also available in many stories affiliated with religious groups. Insert a candle in a tall, thin candleholder so that the angel is surrounded by golden light, or perch a candle atop a glass, pewter, or resin candleholder that has been cut or molded into the shape of an angel.
While cuddling under the warmth of that blanket, rest your head and back on toss pillows printed with angels. If you have a guest room, be sure to place some of these in that room, too. The gesture will beckon your guests to rest in comfort and peace.
Candle lamps are made of glass and usually hold a tea light candle atop their stand, beneath a glass globe. Candle lamps can often be found in the shape of angels.
Rest your glass atop a coaster with angel print on it, or on a glass coaster with a print of an angel encased safely inside. The person who usually has to deal with moisture rings on the wooden furniture will think you are an angel.
Perhaps the most traditional and common angel decoration found in any home decorated for Christmas is the tree topper. Bases for angel tree toppers can be purchased at most hobby stores, but pre-made angel tree toppers are often well made and well balanced.
Help yourself to an endless array of porcelain and resin angel figurines for Christmas ornaments, mantle decorations, and holiday table centerpieces. Angel figures can even be found that have been constructed of wires and beads for a more Bohemian look this Christmas.
Do you have German roots? Go back to them by purchasing blown-glass angel ornaments this Christmas. If you purchase ones that are heirloom quality, the angels may become part of your family’s Christmas traditions for generations to come.
Screensavers (for your computer) with angel themes can be found cheaply, or for nothing at all, with a quick search of the Internet for "angel screensaver" or "angel screensavers."
Crocheted angels make sweet and homespun Christmas tree ornaments. They are sometimes left soft, and sometimes sprayed with a fabric stiffener. Either way, be sure not to hang these ornaments directly against Christmas tree lights.
Purchase an angel embedded with or holding the birthstone of each member of your household. Birthstone angel pins can often be purchased for a dollar or less at discount stores. Keep a small bowl of them by your front door for guests to take when they go.
If angels are your passion, be assured that there are many options for including them in your Christmas decorations. Angel Christmas ornaments and decorations are one Christmas theme that can be included in your decor throughout the year.
