If this Christmas you want to decorate your house with a unique and personal touch, then crafts will be your best allies. Instead of resorting to purchased ornaments and decorations, you can create your own ornaments to your liking.
In addition to being an entertaining hobby, it will help you recycle many materials that you probably have at home. You will unleash your creativity and you will be surprised with the results of your creations. The result? A very special and original Christmas decoration. Here we suggest five craft ideas that never stop adding ‘likes’ on TikTok so that you are encouraged to recreate them.
Show off a different and original Christmas tree in your home with this idea. You will need one long wooden board and two narrow ones that will support the tree, as well as silicone and Christmas balls. Glue the boards with silicone and, once they have dried, glue rows of balls creating the shape of a pine tree. It is recommended that you wait until one row has completely dried before moving on to the next.
An alternative to recycling your egg cups is to turn them into small trees to hang from your large tree. Cut out the nooks of the egg cups and shape them with the help of scissors. Make a hole through which to pass a piece of rope or ribbon with which you will join the different parts of the tree. Paint it and decorate it with pompoms, bows or pipe cleaners.
For this craft you will need brown cardboard, as well as foam or white, black, brown and red cardboard with a glossy finish. Fold and cut the brown cardboard as you see in the video. Next, make the shape of the reindeer’s eyes, antlers, and nose. Glue it all together with glue and silicone and that’s it. You can hang it from the tree or from a wall or door.
Recycle your toilet paper rolls by turning them into Christmas stars. Fold them into a triangle and draw symmetrical stripes with the help of a ruler or square, and then cut it out and glue it as seen in the video. When you have made several, glue them together forming a star. You can paint the rolls any color you want or even decorate them with glitter.
Cut out ornament shapes such as trees or stars out of cardboard. Then, line the shapes with rope or ribbon and decorate them with beads to make bracelets. Add a piece of string or ribbon so you can hang your ornaments from the tree.
