Grinch Christmas Decorations for the Outdoors
He could be lurking in your bushes right outside your front door. Or maybe he’s getting ready to shoot down the chimney and steal all the presents under the tree. Wherever he is, adding The Grinch to your outdoor Christmas decorations is sure to get the attention of your neighbors and passerbys! Make a big impression by hanging a Grinch wreath with his wry smile on your front door. Have the Grinch stake out your front yard with Christmas yard stakes. Line these yard signs along your sidewalk or up your driveway. You can also add a Grinch Christmas decoration on top of your fence to make it look like he’s peeking!
He’s a mean one, Mr. Grinch. He’ll slither and sneak, he has quite the technique. So, watch out for what’s under your tree! Adding a Grinch Christmas tree can be a fun addition to your Whoville Christmas decorations this year. Whether you’re using a real or artificial Christmas tree, it’s fairly easy to create a Grinch themed Christmas tree. Collect basic Christmas tree decorating supplies like a tree skirt, garland, warm white Christmas lights and ornaments. Add an extra branch with some wire to the top of the tree to achieve that iconic curved Whoville tree look. Hang oversized ornaments along with some smaller ornaments on the body of the tree. Lastly, add a large ornament to the top as a finishing touch to make this Christmas tree steal-worthy!
Christmas Decorating Ideas You’ll Want to Steal
