Using Steel for Your Holiday Décor

Part of the fun of the holiday season is decorating the house for the season to come. If you are getting tired of the more traditional decorations that you can find at every craft store and department store in town, perhaps it’s time to look for a little more unique décor by shopping at the steel supermarket at Wasatch Steel. Here are some ways you can use steel for distinctive and beautiful holiday decorating.

Steel Christmas Trees
You can make just about anything into a Christmas tree these days, and if you want to create some beautiful trees to put around your house, think about doing it with steel. Whether you pick up a sheet of steel to create a flat tree cut-out, use the same steel sheet to create a steel cone that you can decorate with paint, glitter, sequins, or another artistic design.

You can even cut shapes into the steel and put candles or lights inside for a pre-lit Christmas tree you can put on the mantel, on a side table in your entry or living room, or use as a great centerpiece for your holiday table. Put several trees of varying sizes and shapes together to create a visually interesting winter landscape.

Santa’s Reindeer
If you are the artistic type, or you are good in metalworking, you can find several smaller pieces at the steel supermarket at Wasatch Steel to build your own reindeer. Get creative and build them from non-traditional metal pieces, such as round or square metal tubing, giving them an abstract look that sets them apart from the usual reindeer that you see in every store. You can combine them with trees to make a beautiful Christmas scene on your mantel or table.

Steel Ornaments
If you’re struggling to figure out what to get for that person who is hard to shop for, visit Wasatch Steel to find some of the odds and ends to make into a beautiful Christmas ornament. You can create just about anything you can imagine with the huge selection of steel and iron available from their store.

Candle Holders
There is nothing that captures the warmth and magic of the holiday season quite like candlelight, but if you’re tired of seeing the same old candleholders year after year, think about making some of your own this year. You could use steel spindles that are traditionally designed for staircase railings to make heavy-duty candleholders, or take a sheet of metal and wrap it in a circle, cut out some holiday-themed designs, and make votive holders.

Window Decorations
Another idea for this year’s holiday décor is to create some visually interesting window displays. Start with some basic steel and ribbon, and build a hanging window frame with an ornament in the middle. Steel is perfect because it can be painted any color that you want to match all your holiday decorations.

There are endless ways you can use steel to spruce up your holiday look this year. If you find that you want something that is out of the ordinary to make your home ready for the season, stop by Wasatch Steel to see what treasures you can find.
