Original DIY Christmas tree ornaments
Top simple ideas for making Christmas tree decorations with your own hands. These ornaments for the Christmas tree can be made together with kids. You will surely be satisfied, and the pre-New Year's magical mood is guaranteed for you!
Decorations from Soft Toys
It's not necessary to decorate the Christmas tree with traditional glass balls and tinsel. Try adorning it with small plush toys - they look cute and charming and are no less festive than shiny Christmas decorations. To hang a toy on the tree, just sew a loop to it.
Toys from Old Gloves
It's amazing how many different toys you can come up with from old gloves, especially children's and colorful ones. All you need to do is sew up the "extra" finger and, using a tie thread, form the head, and then stuff the blank with cotton or synthetic padding. After that, it's all up to your imagination.
With embroidery, buttons, and appliqué, the mysterious "something from a glove" can turn into a cat, a teddy bear, or a little person.
Toys from Cookies
Sand cookies bought at the supermarket can be an excellent decoration for the Christmas tree. You will need a box of cookies and several velvet ribbons, each 20 cm long. Folding the ribbon in half, thread it through the hole in the treat to create a loop and hang it on the tree.
Beads for the Tree
You can easily make an original, bright, and unusual decoration for the Christmas tree from buttons. Take a piece of wire and string bright beautiful buttons on it that match each other. Tie the ends of the wire and decorate the resulting wreath of buttons with a bow made of ribbon or a bright piece of fabric.
Decorations from Disposable Tableware
Even disposable tableware can become the basis for a Christmas decoration. Plastic cups can turn into bells, and cardboard plates can become fancy hanging rings.
Cut out the bottoms of the plates and, using a glue gun, wrap the resulting "rings" with colored crêpe paper or thin fabric, or simply cover them with gold or silver paint.
Thin satin ribbons are suitable for hanging - you can thread them through a pre-made hole or glue them with a glue gun. In the center of the ring, you can hang a bright bead or a small bell.
