Christmas is fast approaching; are you still wondering how to make your Christmas tree look pretty and different from last year? Here are 5 easy DIY Christmas decor ideas.
Even though it’s biting cold out there in many parts of the country, this is the season to rejoice! But, for many of us, what is fun Christmas without snow flakes anyway? Well, I know we do mock snow with cotton in most of the Indian Christmas trees since we do not have snowfall, but of course there are also scarves, candles, wine, and socks which are part of the celebrations, add to the festivities and also will help you keep warm!
My favourite part of Christmas is decorating the tree, and if you are a person like me who loves crafting, then I am sure that this must be your favourite activity too. During my childhood, my sister and I used to just hang a star on our verandah and be thrilled just to have that star.
Last week, when I went shopping, the market looked so joyful with Christmas décor and lights all around. The place was brimming with loads of Christmas ornaments that you could use for decorating your tree, be it the reindeer, mini santas, little gifts, stars, santa sticks, santa caps, santa socks, snow men or glitter balls! All these are available in miniature sizes too to adorn small-sized Christmas trees.
Though all that sounds exciting and saves a lot of time and gives variety to your Christmas trees in minutes, there are other excellent reasons to make these at home.
To get you started, here is a DIY video on how to make your own amusing Christmas ornaments. This video offers 5 such simple ideas which hardly take any time.
So go ahead and try them out and you will fall in love with the whole process. This is the season of giving and finding happiness in sharing and caring. Let’s spread the joy and warmth all around, Merry Christmas folks!
