Can you believe Ramadan is just around the corner? I don't know about you, but growing up, one of my absolute favorite things to do was decorate for Ramadan. Living in the United States, Muslims in general have to incorporate extra traditions to truly feel that Ramadan spirit. For me, that meant attending taraweeh prayers every night and decorating our home with festive decorations.
Decorating was always a grand occasion in my family. My siblings and I would take out all the decorations and string lights from the storage bins, play Ramadan nasheeds in the backround, and transform our entire home into a beautiful, festive atmosphere.
During my childhood, Ramadan decorations were not as readily available as they are today. Now, you can find plently of options in stores like Party City, Walmart, and of course, Etsy. Back then, I was the DIY queen in my family, always in charge of making all the Ramadan decorations. I made banners, lanterns, and one of my favorite pieces - a hanging doorway curatin with Ramadan cutouts. There's something truly special about making your own decorations and seeing your home come to life with what you made.
Now that I have kids of my own, I'm so excited to carry on that tradition from my childhood and share the joy of Ramadan decorating with my little ones. I want them to experience the same excitement and sense of belonging during this month of blessings the same exact way I did growing up. And I still love making my own DIY decorations, which is why I absolutley love printable Ramadan decorations.
