Choosing the Perfect Flowers for Your Window Sill

One of the easiest ways to start decorating a window sill for Christmas is with flowers. I chose the whitest cyclamen I could find, perfect for a wintery, festive feel. To give the display a fresh, homemade touch, I painted three old terra-cotta containers white.

Materials Used:

  • White cyclamen flowers
  • Old terra-cotta pots
  • White paint
  • Small brushes

Ever since I did my double layered Roman blinds I love decorating our window sill in the bay window in the living room. Now that I no longer need to take curtains into consideration I can really use that space as an extra decorating surface.

Pretty white flowers are a great start to my Christmas window sills but the whole decoration needed a little extra.

Since stars are on my mind this Christmas, I decided some extra stars might just be the perfect addition.

DIY Stars for Extra Festive Charm

To make the display truly special, I added handmade stars.

I found these little magical wands in the dollar store in the kids section, they are party favors, I also picked up these glittered star cocktail picks. With glitter and rhinestones both of these could easily be made from scratch but I was low on time and these were dirt cheap.

The process was simple but adds a lot of personality:

  1. Cut stars from cardboard in various sizes.
  2. Outline with a black sharpie for definition.
  3. Separate the glitter stars from their stems
  4. Glue three layers of stars together for dimension.
  5. Attach to paper straws to make them “stand tall” in the pots.

I really think those stars add just enough of that bit extra to take these humble window sill containers to the next level. And to christmasify them a bit more.

Adding Twinkling Lights

No holiday display is complete without lights! I added snowflake/star LED lights I found at IKEA. The white LED lights paired beautifully with the bright white flowers.They accentuate each other.

I guess you can imagine how cute this looks at night with the windows closed.

Putting It All Together

Once the flowers, stars, and lights were in place, the window sill looked cozy, festive, and entirely handmade. The best part? These decorations are simple enough to recreate in an evening, but they make a big impact.

Tips for Long-Lasting Window Sill Christmas Decor:

  • Water your cyclamen regularly to keep them fresh into January.
  • Use battery-powered LED lights for safety and convenience.
  • Mix DIY elements with small store-bought accents for sparkle without spending hours.
