We're all dreaming of a white Christmas, but when snow is scarce, there's still room for pretty paper snowflakes, intricate doilies, and other wintry white decorating ideas.
Place these around the house to add shimmery snow effects anywhere in your house! Make them out of paper and — for extra sparkle — glitter. Hang flakes on loops of thread or monofilament; attach to the ceiling with white paper tape.
Create beautiful snow globes using ordinary jars, and any medium to large-sized jar will work for this project. Figurines set up a holiday scene inside of the jar and glitter (lightly weighted down with glycerin so the glitter doesn't fall too quickly) provides the shimmery snow inside the snow globe.
Take white fabric doilies and use fabric stiffener to help them keep their shape. Then secure them on the window for a beautiful vintage snowfall from inside the house!
One of the most beautiful effects of snow is the way light plays across its surface. Get that effect indoors by designing a lighted doily wreath using a wreath wire frame strung with golden lights nestled within doily-like paper bouquet holders.
Make paper snowflakes and make them sparkle with glitter. String them together to create a garland and festoon around the house for an indoor white Christmas.
Want to make a big statement? This wintry white tabletop tree is draped in fancy jewelry; it's then placed in a faceted gold vase. Metallic pink, copper, and gold ornaments and colorful glass "gems" hang from the boughs.
Dip snowflake-shaped pipe cleaners into boiling water and borax to create gorgeous crystals. Once these crystal snowflakes are placed in your windows, you can have the White Christmas you always dreamed about -- even if there's no snow outside.
All you have to do to place twinkling snowflakes throughout the house is to slide a paper bouquet holder over each bulb of your string lights and find an ideal spot to display them, such as a window or inside of a doorway.
