I found a way you can transform your landscape into a wonderland of Christmas ice for pennies. If you have water and a freezer can create an image that is very elegant and classic or whimsical and fun in terms of restraint use. These decorating ideas that survive longer in northern climates, But touches of ice in the courtyards and centerpieces in a warmer climate will be a refreshing look for a party.
Luminaries
One of the cheapest beautiful and impressive to light a path to your door is lighting. The paper bag with a set of candle always seemed a little risky, but here is an easy solution it is safe and makes a great statement.
Ice luminaries
Supplies:
1. 2 packs a smaller one which all the other, I used to milk cartons to plastic containers that nest inside each other. You can use almost any container and add a balloon with a stone in it for weight. The important thing is that a container is larger than the other.
2. Water
3. Freezer, works out if it's cold enough.
4. Various greens, berries, etc.
Pour water into the larger container, since smaller container inside. You want water to be everywhere as equally as possible, and in the smaller container. Will the weight of the container from above and usually it is floating. Add greenery, fruit, branches or any other decorations you want the water between containers. This is optional. Your star will be a nice anyway.
Put in the freezer at least overnight, the time to be determined by the thickness of the layer in the form of water is between the two containers. When completely frozen, remove the smallest container, add some hot water into the container less if you have it out. If you use a balloon to the center can only explode. Add a candle and presto, changée has a light fixture.
Just a note aside: One year I made votive size and put them in a tray of fresh foliage and roses for a centerpiece. They look great and help maintain the vegetation and flowers watered.
You can also make ice Globe, fill a balloon with water and freeze. Freezes from the outside in. Check regularly and hopes that the "shell" to be frozen, but the core is liquid. Once you have a solid deck that can carry them out and pop the balloon. Drain the remaining water out central cavity and has its world. You will have a chip opening. This is an easy task. Now add the tea lights and that's it. You can make these any size. Use your imagination, make a snowman or ice brilliant bunch of them in a pyramid … Line your driveway, sidewalk or patio. You'll love the effect.
Crystal Branches
Plant sticks and twigs in their pots. You can "crystallize" if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. Using a spray bottle full of water vapor on a regular basis. Eventually, there will be encased in ice and have the appearance of glass.
Ice Ornaments
Also You can use ice and molds for making ice candy ornaments. You can hang potted trees or sticks and branches. Place a tape, wire or rope into the mold when freezes to a perch, they also make an excellent addition to their resorts.
Ice Flowers
Use a gelatin mold to make a crown of ice. For years, this trick has been used to keep cold hit, but why not make a crown hanging. Add cranberries, green and / or a tape waterproof. Orange, lemon and lime slices look great too if you are using a non-traditional color scheme. Simple and surprising. These can be very heavy if you use lots of water to be thin. (You can always do more.) These look particularly impressive in light poles or porch railing.
All these ideas can be adapted to enhance any ice current theme or colors you use. Your imagination is the only limit for all applications that are possible. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!
