Homemade Christmas decorations are some of the most unusual. They are also a lot of fun because you can enjoy them with your family. Below are four fun and easy to make homemade Christmas decorations:
Popcorn Threading
If you like threaded popcorn, it is really easy to make. Start with a big bowl of popcorn (unbuttered, of course) and string it piece by piece using a general sewing needle and thread. Make sure there is enough of popcorn because, if you’re threading it for garland, you are going to require a lot.
Cranberry Threading
Much like the popcorn threading method, numerous individuals used to thread cranberries using a standard needle and thread. Once Again, make sure there’s enough to go around if you’re going to use it as garland. Most significantly, and I know it’s tempting, do not eat all the decorations. Save some for the Christmas tree.
Paper Strings
One of the best memories of decorating for Christmas, as a child, has to be the conventional paper chains. Using green and red construction paper, cut horizontal strips of each color. Fold them into a circle and stamp with tape. Scotch tape is recommended and, if you use this when your child is young, the smell will perpetually prompt them of Christmas. It will likely become “Christmas tape” to them. Once you have a perfect circle, take another strip in an alternating colour and run it through the first circle. Next, fold it around and seal with tape. Complete this step until you have a big chain of paper garland in red and green. You and your kid will enjoy doing this together and it will create tremendous memories for you both.
Bright Wreath
If you love the look of a bright garland, but do not quite have a budget for one of the more expensive ones, look at another alternative. You can buy a plain green garland very inexpensively. A small chain of lights can cost anywhere from $1.00 to $3.00. However, put them together and you have the look of a professionally lighted Christmas garland. For this project, you could use either clear or multi-colored Christmas lights. Just take the plain green wreath and enfold the lights around in a design similar to the stripes on a candy cane. Once you’ve gone all the way around, tuck the last light into the green of the garland. Make sure that you put it near an electric outlet because there won’t be a lot of spare electric cord. Now that you are ready, plug it in and see your very own design. A red bow is a good touch, but not required. As people drive by, they will see a attractively lit wreath in your windowpane and they will have no thought that you saved a few bucks by wrapping the lights yourself.
