Available in traditional Christmas colour combinations of red/white or green/white, they make perfect stocking fillers, impromptu pressies and secret Santa gifts.
To celebrate the release of these new decorations, the ladies at Dandi have come up with some creative tips to help you decorate your home this festive season.
The Tree
Christmas isn’t complete without a tree, but why not try something a little different this year and try these great decorating ideas from Dandi.
- Use some fallen branches from your garden and place them in a vase filled with sand. If you’re not after the natural look, try spray painting the branches to match your colour theme
- Bring a pot plant inside, anything green will work
- Tie a few ornaments to the chandelier with different lengths of ribbon
- Place a large piece of paper on your wall and create an outline of a tree. Get your kids to draw on decorations
The Table
Your table is just as important as the tree. Friends and family will enjoy a delicious meal here, so why not go that extra mile and make the table setting just as yummy!
- For a formal setting, always start with your tablecloth. Choose one that matches your colour theme.
- For extra sophistication layer another tablecloth (Dandi suggests a festive, printed design such as Holly Berry) on top. Fold it in half first and place it on top as a special feature piece
- Share the Christmas cheer and show your guests you love them by popping a little Christmas gift at each setting. Try the Dandi Treasure Boxes filled with chocolates
- Use Christmas decorations on the table by tying place names to them
- For a large table, place a row of small vases down the centre filled with tea lights. Add some greenery by scattering flower heads around the bases
- For a casual lunch or picnic Dandi’s Holly Berry Christmas placemats and runners are perfect for outdoor entertaining
- Handy Dandi hint: Wrap your cutlery in paper napkins and tie with ribbon or string to stop the napkins from flying away and cutlery rattling around in the car on the way to your picnic.
Around the Home
Transform your home with into a Christmas wonderland with these simple tips.
- Collect some old jars and wrap a small strip of Christmas fabric or paper around the outside, place a tea light candle inside. Use them to line a windowsill, on each step or even up the garden path to welcome Christmas guests
- Use Christmas fabric or paper to make your own garlands
- Display all your Christmas cards on a pin board for everyone to admire
- Make your own fabric decorations, with the Dandi Fabric Treasure Box kit – easy to make, only requiring a spot of craft glue. To hang on your Christmas tree simply tie a length of ribbon through the centre
- Instead of wrapping your Christmas gifts in paper this year why not use fabric? The material can then be reused time and time again
