That means time to dust off your Christmas lights, cross fingers they still work, and get lit up this year!
If you want to turbo charge that festive feeling in your home this year, check out these tips inspired by Bunnings to light your indoors and outdoors.
- Go solar! Outdoor solar lights offer multiple benefits and will suit most household uses. They’re free to run thanks to the sun and you won’t need to worry about extension cords or overloading power boards.
- Create a magical touch. String lights and rope lights can add a real touch of wonder to your home. Wrap string lights around bushes and trees for a fairy garden appearance or strike a North Pole vibe with icicle lights.
- Twinkle in a jar. For the prettiest knick knack you’ve ever seen put some tiny fairy lights in a jar with some even tinier festive baubles. It’s a creative and sparkling way to decorate your Christmas lunch table.
- Create a Christmas village! Get the kids involved in this one. Use a drop cloth as a backdrop and sturdy surface as a base to build your own miniature Christmas village.
- Glow large! Make an impact with light-up inflatable Christmas characters. Perfect for your front veranda, garden or even your rooftop (safety installed of course).
If you think you’ve got Christmas lights worth sharing, consider sharing them with the rest of Brisbane on the Brisbane Kids Christmas lights map.
