4 Fun And Easy To Make Homemade Christmas Decorations

By Brittany Garner

Homemade Christmas decorations are some of the most unique. They are also a lot of fun because you can enjoy them with your family. Below are 4 fun and easy to make homemade Christmas decorations:

Popcorn Stringing

If you like strung popcorn, it is really simple to make. Start with a big bowl of popcorn (unbuttered, of course) and thread it piece by piece using a standard stitching needle and thread. Make certain there's plenty of popcorn because, if you are threading it for garland, you are going to need a lot.

Cranberry Stringing

Much like the popcorn threading method, numerous individuals used to thread cranberries using a regular needle and thread. Again, make sure there is enough to go around if you're going to use it as garland. Most importantly, and I know it's tempting, do not eat all the decorations. Save some for the Christmas tree.

Paper Chains

One of the greatest memories of dressing for Christmas, as a kid, has to be the conventional paper strings. Using green and red construction paper, cut flat strips of every colour. Fold them into a circle and seal with tape. Scotch tape is advocated and, if you use this when your kid is young, the smell will always prompt them of Christmas. It will credibly become "Christmas tape" to them. Once you have a complete circle, take another strip in an another colour and run it through the first circle. Next, fold it around and stamp with tape. Complete this step until you have a big strand of paper garland in red and green. You and your kid will enjoy doing this together and it will make special memories for you both.

Bright Wreath

If you like the look of a bright garland, but don't quite have a budget for one of the more overpriced ones, look at another alternative. You can buy a plain green wreath very inexpensively. A small strand of lights can cost anywhere from $1.00 to $3.00. However, put them together and you have the look of a professionally bright Christmas wreath. For this project, you could use either clear or multi-colored Christmas lights. Just take the plain green wreath and wrap the lights around in a design similar to the streaks on a candy cane. Once you have gone all the way around, gather the last light into the green of the wreath. Make sure that you put it near an electric wall socket 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 nice touch, but not necessary. As people drive by, they will see a beautifully lit wreath in your windowpane and they will have no idea that you saved a few dollars by wrapping the lights yourself.
