The Curse Of The Internet Gods

Hi Tweeple!

Jeff Davis here, and I’m still a kid at heart,
I’m excited about Christmas, and seeing all
my kin…

Homemade Christmas decorations are some of the
most unique. They are also a lot of fun because
you can enjoy them with your family. Below are 4
fun and easy to make homemade Christmas
decorations:

Popcorn Stringing

If you like strung popcorn, it’s really simple
to make. Start with a big bowl of popcorn
(unbuttered, of course) and string it piece by
piece using a standard sewing needle and thread.
Make sure there’s plenty of popcorn because, if
you’re stringing it for garland, you’re going to
need a lot.

Cranberry Stringing

Much like the popcorn stringing method, many
people used to string cranberries using a
standard needle and thread. Again, make sure
there’s plenty to go around if you’re going to
use it as garland. Most importantly, and I know
it’s tempting, don’t eat all the decorations.
Save some for the Christmas tree.

Paper Chains

One of the greatest memories of decorating for
Christmas, as a child, has to be the traditional
paper chains.

Using green and red construction
paper, cut horizontal strips of each color. Fold
them into a circle and seal with tape. Scotch
tape is recommended and, if you use this when
your child is young, the smell will always remind
them of Christmas. It will likely become
“Christmas tape” to them. Once you have a
complete circle, take another strip in an
alternating color and run it through the first
circle.

Next, fold it around and seal with tape.
Complete this step until you have a big strand of
paper garland in red and green. You and your
child will enjoy doing this together and it will
create wonderful memories for you both.

Lighted Wreath

If you love the look of a lighted wreath, but
don’t quite have a budget for one of the more
expensive ones, consider another option. You can
purchase a plain green wreath very inexpensively.
A small strand of lights can cost anywhere from
$1.00 to $3.00. But, put them together and you
have the look of a professionally lighted
Christmas wreath.

For this project, you could use
either clear or multi-colored Christmas lights.
Simply take the plain green wreath and wrap the
lights around in a design similar to the stripes
on a candy cane. Once you’ve gone all the way
around, tuck the last light into the green of the
wreath. Make sure that you place it near an
electric outlet because there won’t be a lot of
extra cord.

Now that you’re ready, plug it in and
see your very own design. A red bow is a nice
touch, but not necessary. As people drive by,
they will see a beautifully lit wreath in your
window and they will have no idea that you saved
a few bucks by wrapping the lights yourself.
