Deck the Chair with Boughs of Holly

Light Up the Night
Nothing says
holiday cheer like Christmas lights. Grab some battery operated lights online,
at your local Walmart, or at any hardware store and wrap them around your chair
to create a glowing masterpiece. Customize the color scheme to your liking and
consider adding some blinking lights that will really dazzle. You can even
light up your wheels with specially-made LED lights for wheelchairs, available
online and at major superstores (Be careful using regular Christmas lights
around wheels – these can tangle and cause a real headache).
Add Stickers & Patches
Sticker sheets
made especially for the holidays are everywhere at this time of year and make a
super cheap option for decorating your chair. Stickers work great for
decorating the spokes of your wheels, side guards or frame and come in tons of
styles, from glitter to scratch & sniff to three-dimensional. If stickers
aren’t your thing, sewing or ironing a patch on to the back of your chair is an
easy and inexpensive way to add some holiday flair. CafePress has a huge
selection of holiday
patches to choose from and even make customizable
patches with your choice of text and design.
Santa…is that you?
If you’re
feeling bold, crafty, and want to show up to your next event decked out in
holiday cheer, become Saint Nick yourself and transform your chair into Santa’s
sleigh. Find a box that is large enough to cover your chair and outline a
sleigh shape on either side. Cut out these shapes and paint (we recommend red
spray paint) red. Let it dry, then add a gold trim around the edges and
personalize it to look like Santa’s ride. Attach to both sides of the sleigh
(and make sure the cardboard doesn’t drag along the ground or against the
wheels) and voila! You’ve got St. Nick’s ride to cruise around in for the
night. Keep in mind that with some design tweaks, this technique can also be
used to make Elsa’s sleigh for Frozen fans. This process will take a few hours
and some work, but overall it’s a simple process that will produce a
breathtaking result. Check out Pinterest for photos and design ideas!
While those are just
a few of our favorite ways to decorate your wheelchair or scooter for the
holidays, the possibilities are truly endless. Got an idea we didn’t mention? Post it in the
comments and show us how you let your creativity shine this holiday season!
