Making homemade Christmas ornaments can be fun and if you involve kids, the fun will be double. All the décor will have your personal touch and make your Christmas even more special. Here we will be discussing about some ideas which you can use to create attractive handcrafted decorations for your home.



Effectual ideas for creating homemade decorations

Some ideas which can prove to be really effective in making eye-catching ornaments for your home are listed below:

•    Christmas Throw Cushions

Throw cushions can jazz up an ordinary corner of your house when they are decorated properly. You can sew different patterns on the cushions or you can simply make slipcovers for your cushions. Since you are decking up for Yuletide, the colors of the fabrics should be traditional colors like red, silver, green or gold. You can create suede, stain or even cotton cushions depending open your preference. If you sew some Christmas messages on the cushions, then it will be even more attractive.

•    Wreaths out of pinecones

Wreaths are always in demand when it comes to Yule decorations. These are easy to make and cost effective as well. This is because pinecones can be easily available and for the wreath all you need is a pre-made wreath of grapevine. To create this wreath, just use hot glue to attach the ends of pinecones to the wreath and complete the circle. For a standard sized wreath you will need around 30 to 45 cones.

•    Ornament with natural items

You can create homemade Christmas ornaments with natural things like cuttings from trees, pinecones, twigs, etc. Keep them in a large glass bowl and you can leave them as it is so that a rustic feel is there. You can also spray paint them in colors like red, silver, gold, etc. A ribbon round the glass bowl will add to the beauty of the ornament.

Follow these ideas and you will get some attractive homemade Christmas ornaments.
