Posted by SwordsSwords on Dec 23rd 2019
It’s almost time to be decorating the Christmas tree. Nowadays, everyone is busy decking out their halls and doorways. However, the trees that adorn the living rooms get the most attention. Ribbons, glass ornaments, and pictures are all over the place as every family tries to make their tree a spectacle. Fairy lights are a must but you’ll need so much more. Are you ready for your own decorating spree? We have a bunch of ideas to make sure your Christmas tree is unique and most beautiful of the bunch. Let’s be crafty!
DIY Ornaments
For a perfectly unique tree, use signature homemade ornaments. Constructing DIY adornments is a great way to include the kids in the household. All you need is craft paper, scissors, some glue, and a variety of colors. Sit back and watch as the little ones come up with the most intricate garlands, dream-catchers, and drawings. You’ll be proud of hanging these artworks on the tree. Your kids will never forget this special Christmas either. If you don’t have kids, you can take charge of creativity. Download some stencils from the internet and just follow the instructions.Go Traditional
Even if you only have the glass ornaments and the copper bells, you can still make wonders out of them. Decorate the copper bells with bows. You can also string them on ribbons. This will make a melodious jingling garland for your door wreath or your mantelpiece décor. For a more old-fashioned look, string some popcorn or cherries together for tree decorations. Christmas is definitely the time to cherish such customs and trends.Avoid Waste
Re-use the ornaments from past years. The plastic used in the construction of colorful balls and tree-toppers is non-recyclable. So you should make sure you don’t just buy newer versions every year while the old ones gather dust. Easily enhance your old ornaments with just a fresh coat of paint and some surgical tape. Glitter and neon LEDs are your best friends when it comes to refurbishing old Christmas Balls. The wood on the miniature Santa sleigh may also be worn down. Use some varnish or brown paint to fix that. Use only recyclable craft paper to design your garlands and tree hangings. After all, saving the environment is just as important as saving Christmas.Tree Toppers
Why go with old and boring tree-toppers like a star or an elf? You can make your tree stand out by putting something peculiar on top. Put a tiny minion figurine or an Elsa doll to appease the children. A snowflake is a beautiful derivation of the shining star. If you are newly married, you should put the gorgeous cake topper on the tree. One can also make a tree topper effortlessly with a thermocouple sheet, knife, glitter, glue, and a stencil. Here are a few easy steps you can follow:- Cut the paper stencil as directed by bold outlines.
- Paste the paper stencil on the thermocouple sheet with glue and cut around the edges.
- Smooth over the edges with sandpaper or knife. Cover the whole topper with glue.
- Roll the topper in glitter and leave it to dry.
- Shake the excess glitter off and mount the topper on the tree. Et Voila!
