Woman Has Dozens of Christmas Trees For Her Ornaments
Mlive.com reports that a Michigan woman has 42 Christmas trees hang her large collection of Christmas ornaments on. She owns 2,000 Hallmark ornaments and 500 "generic" ornaments.
She started buying dated ornaments in 1975. When she ran out of room on the tree for more of those, she decided to buy another tree, then another and another. (Who says a house can have only one tree?) People have given her their old trees, and she calls these cast-offs her Charlie Brown trees.
Here are some quick and easy decorating ideas that will surely add a festive
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores have issued the following suggestions for adding a festive feel to your home:
Spray garland with white and silver glitter and hang it on your staircase rail or fireplace mantle.
Repetition helps to highlight your holiday theme. Use poinsettias or hydrangea in your tree, garlands, fill large glass hurricanes or accent other centerpieces, tuck around photo frames, candles etc. Use your favorite item, holly, flowers, pinecones, ornaments.
Evoke the senses with the smell of home baking and a welcoming feel -- burn candles with scents like cinnamon, pumpkin pie.
Decorate with beads. Wrap the lower portion of pillar candles with colorful strung beads for a glitzy look or create beautiful beaded ornaments to coordinate with holiday colors.
Use your favorite fabric to wrap around the base of your tree instead of using a traditional tree skirt.
Make colorful, festive, placecards for your holiday dinner with sheets of festive scrapbook paper.
Sew or wrap pillows in holiday fabrics to scatter on the sofa and chairs for quick holiday touches.
Jo-Ann's also comments on some of this year's decorating trends.
"This year, that would be a return to old world charm with dynamic colors like sapphire, ruby red and citrine embellished with metallics. There will also be an emphasis on patterns and textures with glitter, beads and etchings; and such icons as birds, pine cones, winter foliage and berries," says Susan Atchison, trend manager for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.
This video teaches you how to make a German paper stars which you can put on your tree or on wrapped Christmas presents or anywhere else you might need them.
You can decorate entire trees with these things. They're fun to make when you're just sitting around watching tv. You can make them with most any kind of paper. I used regular double-sided scrapbook paper for this one. You can use plain 'ol printer paper or even Christmas wrapping paper. But beware, the thinner the paper, the more difficult the star is to make. Also, if you want bigger stars, your paper not only needs to be wider, but longer.
Halloween is rapidly approaching so it is time to make cool spooktacular crafty things like these Spirit Jugs from Family Fun. The process is pretty simple. You just get some jugs to draw ghost faces on and buy a string of holiday lights to light them up - Family Fun suggests a "string of 50 clear low-wattage holiday lights."
Family Fun says to leave the caps on the jugs while you draw the ghost faces on them - that sounds like a wise tip.
Marthastewart.com has a similar concept for Tin-Can Jack-o'-Lanterns. This idea is like the ghost jugs but with tin cans, candles and robot faces. You can always do both. Or use Martha Stewart's idea on the jugs and make Robot Ghost Jugs.
If you want something simpler that's also green you could simply install these orange bulbs for a Halloween glow.
My Arts and Crafts has an article about how to make a snow globe. The globe is made using a jar - the jar in the example is a cleaned peanut butter jar. Other items needed include a glue gun, small stones, plastic figure, ribbon or craft tape and glitter. The plastic figure can be a stormtrooper action figure like the one shown in the video below or another object of similar size.
This is a really easy arts and craft project that's a great way for the whole family to get together. Because this craft project calls for the use of a glue gun, kids should only do this project along with their parents. You'll use items you already have around your house, and if you don't, you can probably buy them at the local dollar store or arts and crafts store. If you've been looking for a craft project to help bond with your kids, this may be it!
Full instructions can be found here. You can also watch the helpful video below. In the video the instructor is using a Star Wars toy for the centerpiece of his snow globe. He's making a Stormtrooper Snow Globe!
