Mason jar Christmas tree So simple yet extremely eye-catching, a mason jar Christmas tree will look wonderful on side tables and ornament cupboards in your home. Select six similar sized jars and fill with baubles, pine cones, tinsel or Christmas tree ornaments before placing the lids back on and stacking them with three at the bottom, two in the middle and one at the top. You can further accentuate the tree by draping a beaded garland around it and placing a star or angel at the top of the pyramid. Paper snowflakes Give your home a guaranteed white Christmas with these pristine white snowflakes. If you want a more contemporary theme, you can even make snowflakes out of colorful paper. You will need to fold a square piece of paper diagonally, from one corner to another. Take the triangle you have made and fold it again to form a smaller triangle. Next, roll up the right and left sides, fold over then flatten. The paper should be similar to a rocket rocket shape with two triangle points at the base. Turn the paper over and cut off the two points at the base. Click on How to Make A Snowflake Out Of Paper for a step by step picture guide. Have fun making several snowflakes and hang them from string on your Christmas tree, or place around the house for a truly festive feel. A honeycomb wreath Recycling has never been so cool with this festive wreath made using toilet roll tubes. You will need several toilet roll, or kitchen roll tubes that have been cut to two inches in height. Take a dish and position the tubes around it, so you get an accurate circular wreath shape. Hot glue the tunes into position and remove the plate. Once the wreath has been hooked onto the door, place baubles and decorations randomly into the circles. A cheap, but stunning Christmas decoration. Painted pinecones The kids will love collecting the pinecones needed for these decorations, so go on a mini-expedition to the nearest park and collect as many pinecones as possible. Check the cones for any creatures and dirt, and gently dust them off outside. Spray paint the cones white, or let the kids paint them with acrylic paints. When dry you can hot glue some ribbon onto the base of each pinecone to hang on your tree, or place them in a glass bowl as a pretty centre piece. Twig ornaments Collect as many small but sturdy twigs as possible, and just like you did with the pinecones, dust them off. You can create twig snowflakes by painting each twig white ad gluing several together in a crisscross fashion. To finish, place a sprig of holly at the centre or a gift bow. Alternatively, leave the twigs bare for a more rustic decoration and glue red and white buttons in the centre.
