Before you know it, Christmas time is just around the corner, meaning you must prepare your Christmas tree decorations. Do you stick with the old, traditional way that worked for years or start something new?
Once you have your tree, artificial or real, you’ll want to add your Christmas tree lights before you deal with the other decorations. You may want to get twinkle lights to enliven your tree.
Families can engage their kids with a DIY tree topper using materials you can easily find in your home or outdoors, like twigs, paper, ribbon, yarn, wire, and pliers.
Depending on your tree size and coverage, you may have to buy 90 to 100 or more ornaments from basic globes or themed collections unless you have unique heirlooms that hold long-lasting memories.
You can reuse ribbon from previous years or biodegradable materials to string around your tree, from popcorn, berries, dried flowers, yarn, pinecones, and ornaments from recycled materials.
Your tree can be replanted on your property or elsewhere. Cut up wood into chips or firewood. Most recycling centers will bring your tree after the new year.
