Create One-of-a-Kind Christmas Tree Decorations
The Best Christmas Tree Decorations Aren’t Sold In A Store
Christmas craft projects are definitely the fun way to spend a few hours during the holiday season, and Christmas tree decorations make the best Christmas crafts. Not only does creating Christmas tree decorations get you in the spirit for Christmas, it also ensures that the decorations on your Christmas tree are one-of-a-kind Christmas tree decorations unique to your and your family.
Get Ready…
For this Christmas tree decorations project you will need cookie cutters in a variety holiday shapes. Look for a Christmas tree, reindeer, Santa, snowman, and candy canes -- just to name a few. You will also need decorative paper or old Christmas cards, a hole punch and ribbon.
Get Set…
Trace the outline of your cookie cutter onto a sheet of decorative paper, then cut out the traced shape and punch a hole in the top of the decoration. After you have completed these steps, string a piece of ribbon through the hole you punched out.
GO…
Voila! You have quick and easy Christmas tree decorations before you even know it. Simply hang each Christmas tree decoration on the tree by its ribbon.
There’s no limit to the number of these simple Christmas tree decorations you can make. However, you can’t just have a bunch of paper Christmas tree decorations. Well remember those cookie cutters you used to make the decorations? It’s time to put them to work again.
The Fun’s Not Over Yet
Now you’re going to focus on transforming each cookie cutter into a festive Christmas tree decoration. You can glue a decorative ribbon along the outer edge of the cookie cutter if you wish or you can glue on peppermint candies around the entire cookie cutter. Then all you have to do is tie a ribbon at the top so you can hang the cookie cutter Christmas tree decorations on your tree.
If you make extra cookie cutter Christmas tree decorations, you can use them as an embellishment on the wrapped Christmas gifts you give. They can be used in place of the traditional gift tag. You could also give them as a favor at the place settings if you are hosting Christmas dinner this year. When it comes to making your own Christmas tree decorations, there’s no such thing as making too many.
