How to Decorate a Staircase for the Holidays

A staircase is a perfect place to showcase your seasonal style. Play up the classic combo of green and red. Use clear zip ties or fishing line to attach garland and decorations to your banister so you do not mar the wood.

For a less traditional look, go with blue and silver decorations for a winter wonderland look. Make stylized snowflakes by laying out square dowels in a snowflake shape, gluing them together and spray painting them silver.

Pop up some poinsettias to decorate your staircase! Pick up a roll of white vinyl flashing at Lowe's. Download the template at www.LowesCreativeIdeas.com/Petals and trace six big petals and six small petals. Cut the petals from the flashing and with the shiny side up, fold them in half. Crease them halfway down the fold. Punch a hole in the tip of the uncreased end. Thread the six large petals, then the smaller petals onto the larger end of the threaded post and tighten. Fan out the petals. Use a glue gun to add bling to the center of the poinsettia.

Three easy ways to turn your staircase into a work of art. For more helpful videos like this visit lowes.com/creative-ideas.
