Decorations for Ramadan:
Decorations for Ramadan:
Here are some great and simple ways to decorate your home for Ramadan, using some printables or DIYs. However, you could simply purchase these decorations online if you wanted to (but whats the fun in that!)
1. Have a banner
There are many ways to get a Ramadan banner. You could purchase one online, create your own [by printing or drawing and then sticking the pieces to some string/ hole punching and weaving the string through] or finally the easiest- to use a free printable.
I have a few printables here for you to choose from. Once printed cut it out and either hole punch each piece or stick it to the string using tape. Then hang up your banner! [pick one of theses..]

2. Iftar time frame
You could use this printable or make your own to put in a frame and hang up so everyone knows the iftar time each day- you would need to update it as necessary. You could also make one for suhoor or salah times. Here is the printable...
3. Paper chains
These are super easy to make, and in my family, we make a chain of 30 and write a good deed to do each day. Then we rip on off each day as a countdown in Ramadan and we do the good deed. However, this is just an idea, you could just use them for decoration.
Here is how to make them... https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Chain
Here are some printables if you want to add a quotes and questions on your chains...
4. Lanterns and candles etc
This is the time to get out any nice decorations or lanterns you have. But don't worry if you don't have any lanterns here is a way you can make some only using paper, glue/tape and scissors! How to make them here...

5. Hadiths, verses, quotes
Hang these around as reminders to keep up the good deeds
You can also print off different Quran'ic verses and reminders, frame them, and place them around the house to encourage everyone in the family to strive harder this Ramadan. There a loads online and on pinterest.

7. Prayer corner
You can create a corner with Qurans, books and prayer mats in your house. Also, you can put this printable chart to tell you how many fard, sunnah and nafl you can do etc... This is very beneficial if you want to increase your reward at salah times.
