Home made christmas decorations
When you hang a homemade ornament on your tree this Christmas, you can be assured you have a totally unique Christmas tree, unlike any other.

By
getting the whole family (and friends) involved in making decorations, you
will build a treasury of memories to display each year, bringing joy to all
who see them.
Of course, if the decorations look terrible, you might think this is a bad idea. Well, after 25 years of making decorations, the truth is that no handmade ornament ever looked worse than a plastic bauble. Trust me, that even a ham fisted toddler can create something you would be proud to hang on your tree.
The simplest decorations I have ever made were created by rolling a pennant shaped strip of red paper which had been decorated with a glitter stripe along the long edges. By rolling from the unglittered edge around a strip of wire (for the hanger) I made a beautiful hanging ornament for the christmas tree.
Alternatively, hang paper stars like these.
