Read on for some great tree decoration ideas!
See What You Already Have in Your Decoration Collection
One of the best ways to start off your decoration journey is by taking stock of what you already have in your collection. This will help you get an idea of what you need to buy and also give you a starting point for where you envision your design going. You can then build on this foundation with new ornaments, garlands, tinsel, and lights!
If you do not have many decorations and money is tight, then there is no need to panic! There are actually plenty of ways to decorate your tree without spending a lot of money, which will also make it unique to you, too. You can make your own decorations using materials such as felt, ribbon and paper, or you can get your hands on some inexpensive decorations at your local dollar store.
No matter how or what you use to decorate your tree, the most important thing is to have fun while doing it! So, get creative, get festive, and enjoy the process.
Host a Decoration Party
One of the best ways to get into the Christmas spirit is to host a decoration party. Invite your friends and family over, put on some of your Christmas tunes, and get to work decking the halls. This can be a really fun way to get everyone involved in the holiday preparations and to create some cherished memories with loved ones. Not to forget that you can also crack out the biscuits you have been saving and test out a new eggnog recipe.
If you really want to get crafty and creative, you could even have a craft party to make your own decorations together first! Get hold of some festive Christmas decorations and craft supplies, and see what you can all come up with. For a competitive edge, why not take a vote on the best decoration and have some peppermint bark for the winner?
Decorate the Tree with Your Eyes Closed
Sort of like a festive “pin the tail on the donkey”, decorating your tree blindfolded can be a hilarious family activity that can be done together. Obviously, someone needs to be able to see so that hazards are averted, but you really will end up with a unique centerpiece using this method, and most likely a lot of laughs too!
Christmas is a time of year that should be spent with friends and family, and the memories we make and the bonds we strengthen will always be the most important part of the festive period.
