Easy Indoor Christmas Decorations

2020 Christmas wall.
Two small paintings I covered.

I have a wall in my dinning room full of family pictures. When I was decorating for Christmas last year I had a great idea to decorate my picture wall. Instead of replacing the current pictures with Christmas pictures, I decided to just wrap the current pictures like presents.

Pictures in 2021


I had some metal star ornaments, bows, wood snowflake ornaments, small pinecones and ice cycle ornaments to decorate the picture presents.  In 2020 I picked a color scheme of red, green, blue and silver. I had Merry Christmas, red and green cloth ribbon to use on the project. I kept all of the ribbon and ornaments after I used them in 2020 and used them again on my new color scheme in 2021. The new color scheme was red, black, silver and gold.

I made sure I bought quality wrapping paper so it would hold up to the sharp corners of the frames. I also used hot glue to hold the ornaments to the front of the picture presents. The ribbon is held in place on the back of the frame with blue painter's tape.

The pictures above were taken at an angle which made the pictures look like they were crooked, they are not. I hate crooked pictures, so I am barely stopping myself from deleting the pictures, lol.

When Christmas is over, you get to unwrap extra presents off the wall and enjoy the pictures that had been hiding behind the Christmas wrap all month.

I love the look of the decorated wall in front of my decorated table. It was very festive.

My large poinsettia is missing from this picture. They were very hard to find here last Christmas. I received one as a gift  (Thanks Lynn) and put it in the snowman hat. 

If you don't have a picture wall, you can wrap all the pictures in a room or even the whole house. It is an inexpensive and pretty way to decorate for the Holiday. It is also a great way to decorate at a business or office. Happy wrapping!
