In order to keep your house’s exterior pretty throughout the holidays, you may have to re-decorate multiple times, which can be costly.

Make snowman without snow! Take several plastic cups and glue them together to make one very large round ball and the other slightly smaller. Put the smaller ball on top of the large one. Place a Santa cap on top of the smaller ball used as the head of the snowman. Make eyes and nose for the snowman. Once finished, insert lights powered by an AA battery inside some of the plastic balls. Place the snow man on your porch, glowing all night. Snowman is must for any outdoor Christmas decoration.

Place it in your porch to gather your visitor’s admiration.
