The hustle and bustle of the season can leave you saying, “No NO NO” instead of HO HO HO! We found some easy tips and tricks to get you through the season with holiday cheer! 
Decorate with LED battery operated lights. They will last forever, you don’t have to worry about a plug and they look so cool! You can group them inside empty wine bottles, canisters, or our favorite idea, drape them around fire wood! You get the look of the light in a fire without the mess or the hazard!
Turn your patio into a winter wonderland with these easy and cheap little lanterns. Fill a little mason jar 1/4 way up with Epsom salt or rock salt, and add a little candle or tea light on top. Light them and glow!
You can do a lot with little clear jars, fill them with rock salt at the bottom, top with cranberries and sprigs from your Christmas tree. It’s such a cute affordable way to be festive!
Decorate your windows with snowflakes with hot glue! Take your glue gun directly to the window and with thin lines create your snowflake. The best part is when it’s ready come down, it peels right off!
Get out your glue gun again…
Take your pool noodle right from the pool to our outdoor fireplace. Simply shape the pool noodle in the a the shape of a wreath and connect it with duct tape. Hot glue glass ornaments to the frontside if the noodle, wrap a pretty bow around the top and hang!
Create Christmas cubes by freezing cranberries in an ice tray! It will look fest and gorgeous in a glass of bubbles!
Glue mini candy canes together upside down. Place name tags of food inside them so everyone knows what dish they are enjoying.
Place all your wrapping paper in a garment bag for easy storage and clutter free gift wrapping!
Avoid a tangled mess with the endless strings lights by simply wrapping them around a plastic hanger. They will lay flat to be stored instead of a bulky disaster.
Use your leftover paint samples from redoing lil’ Johny’s room, to create DIY gift tags! Cut into little trees, a snowman, wreathes, you name it!
Have a hot cocoa and dessert bar with your neighbors! Melt the chocolate for your desserts in a mason jar, set in a slow cooker on low. This will keep everything warm and gooey for your guests all at once!
Who doesn’t love s’mores… Stay roasty, toasty by the fire without all of the mess. You can still roast the marshmallows in your fire pit, but instead of using hunks of chocolate, simply spread Nutella on the graham cracker as your chocolate.
Happy holiday hacks!

We are extremely pleased with the work completed by Texas Custom Patios. Quality of the project was kept at the highest standard and not compromised over schedule. Our project manager, Ryan, did an amazing job and was calm, cool, and in control during all stages of the project. He informed us about each stage of the project and was available during all stages of the project. Last and most important that is novelty in this era is warranty support after project completion. This company rocks and delivers on its commitment. I had to call Texas Custom Patios for a minor warranty support. My request was handled immediately and problem was fixed in no time. I would give Texas Custom Patios and my project manager Ryan a five star rating. Great job and Thank you.
