To surprise your family and friends make some original Christmas tree decorations.

Buy some white rubber balls. You can find some in the biggest shops .For each ball you will need 20-25 small golden ribbon, colorful crystals glue. Tie a ribbon around the ball and stick it with glue. Glue the whole ball and stick the crystals around, trying to make different shapes on each ball. If you do not have enough crystals you can color each ball in different color with paint and to stick only few stones over.

With a pine cone you can try to reach the same result. Put some glue on the edges and stick few crystals on. Tie a silver ribbon on the top so you can use it to hang it on the tree.

Instead of buying expensive garland you can prepare very original one at home. One of the most favorite garlands time ago have been the ones made of popcorns. It is not very difficult and you need only three items-needle, cooked popcorn and cord. According to how high is you Christmas tree the cord should be so long. Do not forget to tell your kids that the popcorns are not to eat because you do not have to put butter or salt while prepare them. It is very simple-Just with the help of the needle string the popcorn on the cord. At the end if you want you can tie small ribbons.

Other very nice homemade Christmas tree ornaments are the Angel Christmas Ornament. To make them you will need two paper doilies. They have to be in different colors and sizes, glue, picture of your choice pipe cleaner and scissors. Fold the doily in half and then in half again. When this is done you have to glue the flaps together. Cut out from the picture which you have chosen the head and glue it onto the top of the folded doily. The first one is ready. Now you have to prepare the second. Cut it in smaller size and glue it on the back of the first one to make the angel’s wings. Now you have to wrap the pipe leaner around your finger to make a halo. Then glue the stem onto the back side of the angel.
