DECK THE HALLS WITH DIY DECOR
Decorating is one of the joys of
the holiday season. Families
often decorate together, and
such traditions may include dressing
the Christmas tree and hanging holiday
lights around the house.
A day spent making homemade ornaments
is another great way to decorate
and spend quality time together
as a family during the holiday season.
Th ough families can let their imaginations
run wild when making ornaments
at home, the following are some great
starting points that can serve as springboards
for holiday crafting sessions.
• Snowmen: Th e holiday season simply
wouldn’t be the same without snowmen.
Homemade snowmen can be
made out of ping pong balls, which are
the ideal size when making ornaments
for the Christmas tree. Th ose who want
to go a little bigger can glue wiffl e balls
or large polystyrene balls together or
create their own papier mâché snowmen
to display on mantles or on console
tables in a foyer or hallway.
• Santa Claus: Another staple of holiday
decor, Santa Claus has inspired
many a DIY holiday ornament over the
years. A paper plate Santa Claus with
a cotton ball beard glued on can make
for a fun Christmas craft, especially for
young children who can’t wait for the
big guy to appear on Christmas Eve.
• Penguins: Th ough they might not
have a direct link to the holiday season,
penguins evoke feelings of cold weather,
making them an ideal addition to
holiday decor schemes. Make your own
penguin family using polystyrene craft
balls in assorted sizes and then hang
them on the tree or place them around
the house.
