Thinking about the economy and family unity, we recommend that you make the following decorations so that they become part of your decoration at home. You dare?
For those who may need some ideas to finish the Christmas decoration at home with the help of the whole family, we bring some decoration recommendations so that you can continue bonding and reap the Christmas spirit in the little ones. Let’s do it!
– Balls: As a unique detail to decorate the tree you can buy Styrofoam balls of different sizes, skewer sticks, colbon, brush, glitter silicone in the color of your choice and a very thin ribbon to make bows that matches the color of the frost.
– How to do them?
- Place newspaper or cardboard on a table or the floor so as not to make a mess.
- Embed the skewer stick in the Styrofoam ball, this in order to handle the elements well without getting your hands dirty.
- Spread the colbon all over the ball with the brush and immediately apply the glitter on the ball.
- Without removing the stick, let it dry for about 20 minutes. You can leave it in a glass.
- When it is dry, remove the stick, and with the ribbon make a bow and glue it with silicone in the hole that was left. To hang it on the tree, you can use the same ribbon to create the hoop.
- Do this process with all the balls.
– Snowman: Perfect for decorating a table or space where you feel you need an ornament.
You need:
– 1 small or medium white stocking.
– About 1 1/3 cups rice, any type (for larger stockings, use more rice)
– 2 cotton balls, 1 inch each.
– Orange felt for the nose (small)
– Big, bulging eyes
– Black felt with adhesive backing.
– 3 transparent rubber bands for hair.
– Silicone
Step by Step
- With the help of someone, pour a little less than 3/4 rice into the bottom of the stocking, squeeze it and shake it until it is shaped like the bottom of a snowman. Make sure the top of the stocking is centered in the middle.
- Using a clear hair tie, secure the stocking firmly right on top of that portion of rice.
- Perform the same action with the other two parts of the stocking. Pour more than 1/8 cup of rice into the middle, squeeze and shake, and a little less than 1/2 into the top half. Shape the head to be taller than it is wide and secure it.
- Then, glue with silicone where each of the parts join.
- Remove the backing from the felt pieces (one at a time) and glue them to the face and body, i.e. mouth, eyebrows, arms, body buttons and hair on the head.
- Glue the nose (any triangle shape works) and the eyes with silicone.
- Add the cotton feet.
- As a bonus tip, if you’re doing this project with kids, just wait until they’re done and then add the silicones (The pieces are too small for kids to help glue together).
– Five-pointed paper stars: We recommend using recycled paper, whether newspaper or magazine. You can use this ecological ornament on the tree, wall or windows.
What materials do you need?
– Star template ()
– Recycled paper
– Ribbon to hang the decorations
– Scissors
It’s very easy to do as a family, go ahead!
– The secret to making them look good is the precision you must use when folding the sheet of paper. Take advantage of the fact that the folds are marked on the template, so all you have to do is cut and fold.
– First step: in this step you will get a five-pointed star with wider arms.
– Second step: get the thin arms folded on themselves.
To make it easier Use a ruler to mark the folds before folding, this way they will be exact.
Do not force the figure to avoid creating new folds. You only need the marks indicated on the template.
Don’t forget that in origami precision is very important for the piece to close.
– Paper bells: With them you can decorate the wreath, the tree or the wall.
Materials:
– 2 eighths of cardboard or foam of the color you want
– Colbon

– Styrofoam, cotton, crepe paper or shakira balls
