Outdoor Christmas trees: 16 fantastic ways to decorate your outdoors
Those who have a garden, a courtyard, a balcony or some type of outdoor space can also decorate these areas for Christmas; in fact, it is always nice to welcome guests to our homes with outdoor decorations providing a warm greeting.
The important thing is to choose decorations which are suitable for outdoor use and are made of materials that are resistant to inclement weather conditions.
If you want to decorate your outdoor spaces for Christmas but don't know where to start, here are 16 fantastic and original ideas you can consider:
1. Christmas ribbon and stars
A simple Christmas ribbon wound around a small tree will be a simple, quick and novel way to decorate your fir tree (if you have one). Add a star handcrafted from wooden sticks painted gold or silver to serve as the tree-topper.
2. Tin cut-outs
Cut-outs in tin/sheet metal of Christmas trees are a perfect way to recycle and decorate your garden. You can also make these from wood (or some other suitable material you want to recycle)
3. DIY fir tree

If you are lucky enough to have a fir tree in your yard, all you have to do is decorate it and you can make the decorations yourself. It is best to use plastic materials to avoid them from getting damaged by rain and snow - a perfect opportunity to do some recycling!
4. Soap bubbles
These glass balls decorating an outdoors Christmas tree look just like large soap bubbles.
5. Lots of small trees

If you prefer quantity over size, get a lot of small fir trees (preferabley artificial ones), spray them white and decorate your porch or entryway with them.
6. Like indoors
Lovers of symmetry have the option of putting up a replica of the indoors tree, outside!
7. Spiral lights
Create Christmas trees by spirally wrapping a row of LED lights around any suitably-shaped tree in the garden.

12. Poinsettias and candy canes
Artificial poinsettias and candy canes made of wood are perfect for decorating your outdoor Christmas fir tree.

While waiting for next summer, even tomato support cages can be dressed up with colorful garlands.
15. Big red bows
A string of lights might be enough to decorate your outdoors fir tree at night, but how about making it eye-catching during the day with some over-sized red bows?
16. Functional decorations
For your garden or balcony, give your trees a double function: with bird feeders made from pine cones you can decorate your tree and feed the birds in the neighborhood at the same time!
