Is the climate cold or maybe even severe in your place? If it is, you can still get an advantage of it: go for pretty outdoor holiday decor that can be made only during the cold season – ice decorations, which are unavailable for warmer places.
Why Making Ice Christmas Decor?
The reasons to love such decor is that it’s super budget-friendly and easy to make. You get very natural decor, which is eco-friendly, and you easily add interest and sometimes a warm glow to your outdoor space. You may also attract some birds to your garden as they will be able to eat all the berries and nuts you use for making ice decor – that’s another eco-friendly feature of such decor.

What Ice Christmas Decor To Make?
The most popular ideas are bird feeders, ornaments, wreaths and candleholders or candle lanterns. The instructions of making them are similar and simple: you’ll need just a mold and water. You can add anything you like inside the mold – holly berries, cranberries, fir branches, pinecones, candy canes, leaves and herbs to get your own unique piece. If you are going to attract birds, include fruit and nuts into your decor. If you have a personal outdoor space, you can hang your wreaths and ornaments on the trees, fence and backyard, in your porch. If you live in a big city and don’t have a garden or a terrace, then you can decorate your balcony, hang them on the trees or put on the steps.
