As Christmas is not too far away it is a good time to look at different ways to decorate your Christmas tree. Whether you plan on buying a real tree or using the fake one that you keep stored away, it is the decorations that really bring the tree to life.
Even better is the fact that you can make your own
decorations. As school holidays are
starting very soon, if they haven’t already, this is a great way to get your
children involved in the festive spirit.
Here are some simple yet effective ideas on how to decorate your tree
and have a lot of fun at the same time.
Cookie dough ornaments are perfect as you can mould them
into different shapes and sizes. Once they have been cooked and have cooled
down, you can then paint and decorate them.
Remember to make a hole in them before you cook them to make it easier
to hang up.
Another idea is to visit
your local craft or arts supply shop and find some polystyrene shapes
like balls or boxes. Using a bit of
imagination you can use textas, paints or pencils to draw pictures or colour
them in. You could also use different
coloured pipe cleaners that can be legs, arm or wings on the design.
Don’t forget about Christmas stockings, too. Pull out all those stray socks you have lying
around and let the kids decorate them with buttons, tinsel and ribbons.
These are just some simple ideas to highlight how easy it can be to decorate your Christmas tree but more importantly what a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas with the rest of your family.
