Hey there! Today we are decorating the blanket ladder and the area around it in the Family room.  Off season I normally just fold a blanket over one of the steps, but when it comes to the holiday it’s always fun to take it up a notch or two.

If you are considering making a blanket ladder, here are the two I made.  I can lead you to the tutorials by clicking on one of the titles here  SIMPLE BLANKET LADDER – ANGLED BLANKET LADDER.

Before we get to how I decorated the blanket ladder for Christmas this year I wanted to share how I decorated it last year.

I have just started my Christmas decorating so I don’t have the entire wall decorated as of yet, but I will soon.  Let me show you how I decorated my blanket ladder for Christmas 2020.

This Christmas season I kept it simple.  I added a DIY star garland to the side of my ladder, if the title of my blog didn’t give you a hint of what I am going to be sharing.

For the garland I am using 9 twine star ornaments I bought several years ago after Christmas because they were on clearance.  I have never used them until now.

I painted the stars red, green and turquoise, 3 stars of each colors.

Once the stars were dry, I took my twine and cut a piece the length I wanted the garland to be.  I wanted my garland to be 67 inches long.

To tie the stars onto the twine I used the loop of the ornament, cut the loop and tied the ornament onto the twine.  I spaced the ornaments 7 inches apart.

I placed it on the side of my ladder.  It looks perfect there.

I folded a warm and cozy red buffalo print blanket to complete the decorations on the ladder.

Around the ladder, I sat two lanterns, one on the floor and one on the bench.  On the bench next to the lantern I added an undecorated Christmas tree sitting in a basket.  I didn’t remove the little basket under the bench because I like how it looks with the tree’s basket.

Let’s see how it looks when I plug in the lights and turn the candles on.

Like I said earlier I kept it pretty simple this year, next up will be the dresser and mirror.  Little by little the room is starting to look like Christmas!! ♥♥
