How to create Christmas decorations that are admired by all

By: Emily Williams

Christmas is a time of year full of traditions and fun. Many families have passed down traditions for many years. Some just start traditions for their family as a new, fun activity. Starting these new traditions is quite easy. One such idea is traditionally making specific Christmas decorations each year. Free Christmas decoration ideas can be found easily in stores and online, you just need to be willing to browse.

Many fun decorations can be made with simple items found around the house. These Christmas decoration ideas can be made with kids for an added touch of fun. Some free Christmas decoration ideas include paper chains, popcorn garland, and, the ever popular, felt and glitter ornaments. You can also use evergreens to make decoration pieces around a candle.

Chains are a great way to decorate your house and your Christmas tree. Chains are very easy to make using paper. Use newspapers, magazines, or packaging material, and cut strips out of them. Take the first strip and form a ring. Glue the ends together and stick the second strip through the ring you just formed. Connect the ends and keep going to form a nice long chain. Use different colors for a festive chain for your Christmas tree or any other part of your house.

Your kids will love to help you with this Christmas decoration. Have them prepare popcorn in the microwave. In the meantime, thread a needle. The thread should be the length of the garland. Stick the needle through the middle of the popcorn kernels until the thread is entirely covered with kernels. Knot the thread and find a great place to decorate your tree or other place in the house.

The ever-popular felt and glitter Christmas tree ornaments are a great family tradition. With a few inexpensive craft items, your family can create a great new ornament for each family member. Gather a few pieces of felt, a hot glue gun, glitter and any item you may wish to display on the ornament (such as pictures or buttons). Cut the felt in the desired shape. Attach the display object to the felt. Use glitter to decorate the felt. Once the glitter is dry, attach a string in order to display your ornament on the Christmas tree.

Making your own Christmas decorations will give the entire family a sense of accomplishments and it is a great way to spent time with your parents and siblings. Coming up with Christmas decoration ideas keeps the creative juices flowing and it brings the holiday spirit to your house. Nobody will forget these precious moments.
