With not much cash and a little imagination you can make some amazing Christmas decorations. Use these suggestions to stir your own creative juices or think about how you could adapt them to make with grandchildren. Imagine the pride they'll have in making something beautiful for their family celebration.
MAKE YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS WREATH
Messy can be quite beautiful in its own messy way. Buy a wreath base from the cheap shop. Add different baubles, ribbons, berries and even cut-outs to your wreath. It may look as if there is no system to it at all but the end piece might surprise you and your guests more than you can imagine. |
REVAMP YOUR OLD BAUBLES
If your baubles are already old but you can’t make yourself part with them just yet, then give them a new look for this Christmas. Wrap each one with a scrap of cloth and use a ribbon to secure it. Make a cute little bow and even add a mistletoe leaf. Hang them from pins on your mantlepiece for instant Christmas cheer. |
REINDEER BOTTLE CAPS
All you need is some bottle tops, googly eyes from the discount store, buttons, twigs and some ribbon. Use them as table decorations or tie them around the stems of glasses for a festive feel. 
NUTTY RUDOLPH
GIFT TAGS So simple to make but so cute. And you get to eat the peanuts too. All you need is some trimmed shells, some card tags from the cheap shop and a little poster paint. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to give each one their own personality. |
FROSTED LUMINARIES
A white Christmas theme never gets old. Just give it an innovative appearance this time around. Spray empty glass jars with Santa Snow and stick l snowflake cut-outs on the sides. Put a tea candle inside and to create some old-fashioned charm. Use aromatic candles for an added mood. Tie coloured ribbons on the rims for some accent.
