\"\"<\/a>OK, Christmas is on the horizon. We\u2019re all looking to give our homes that something little bit extra on the d\u00e9cor front. At this point we could be forgiven for not immediately thinking of polystyrene, but perhaps we should. This versatile and lightweight material is in fact perfect when it comes to bringing a little bit of the North Pole into your house \u2013 with the added bonus that none of it is going to melt on the carpet.<\/p>\n

Snowflakes and stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those in the know have long been Chrimbo-ing up their homes with polystyrene snowflakes and stars, some on a giant scale (weight, remember is no bar), as well as polystyrene wreaths (easy to pin holly and berries to) and pointy polystyrene cones to give that proper shivery, icy look.  <\/p>\n

Indeed, some wise individuals have only just put away the polystyrene Halloween pumpkins when they\u2019re back in the cupboard fetching the polystyrene Christmas decorations out!<\/p>\n

Get the kids involved<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the starting point of a blank polystyrene star or snowflake, children can add their own designs \u2013 glitters, ribbons, lollipops, you name it. Sounds better than just collecting ready-made decorations, doesn\u2019t it? Often, homemade ornaments become festive favourites, put on display year after year, a reminder of happy Christmases gone by \u2013 memories of fun times.<\/p>\n

Commercial opportunities for festive polystyrene <\/strong><\/p>\n

On a larger, commercial scale, vast polystyrene balls offer great display or promotional opportunities. Imagine a huge glittery sphere hanging centre stage in your business. Smaller spheres, meanwhile, make the perfect snowball substitute \u2013 a bit of wow factor when a customer walks through the door.<\/p>\n

Make polystyrene your festive friend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas is a brilliant time of glimmering festive magic. Remember your best friend to make that happen \u2013 polystyrene.<\/p>\n
