You can hang it at home if you use herbs such as rosemary or laurel. I refer you to a tutorial to do very simple to accomplish to get a mini rosemary wreath.

The advantage of Christmas is that you can always go overboard in decorating. So even if you are not normally kinds of glitter, holidays come your way and you fulfill all the doubts about. Exaggerated and “bling” everything that you can find! Pinecones, dried fruit, wood and even old decorations that you no longer use and you want to discard. Wait a little bit to throw old Christmas items and recycle it with glitter.

After Christmas vacation strarts sales, and most people find something to get rid. The sweaters are perfect for this type of decoration.
Made of soft toy by hanging at the Christmas tree. These decorations are easy to make and just recycle old sweaters or t-shirts that you don't use. Cut out the shapes of your choice and sew the sides leaving a small hole to insert the cotton or stuffing material that you find in plush.

A crochet garland is really personal and creative. I've never seen for sale in the shops of decoration and I think for a passionate is a beautiful satisfaction accomplish something that no one else has.

Have you ever thought to recycle old fruit crates?
Now you know that when you go to the market you can take crates made of wood and make them apart to create a small Christmas tree. If you have a small house and you don't know where to put the big tree with all the decorations you can always create a small tree with scraps of wood and hot glue.

The crib is a classic in Italy, especially in South, but fans of the Nativity are everywhere.
Let us tell the truth: figurines, small houses, mountains and various material are expensive, so unless you have an family crib passed down from generation to generation is difficult to purchases one. With stones, brushes and acrylic colours you can create characters and animals. I find that they are very creative and modern, customizable according to your own style. Is also a great way to involve children in activities of decoration.
13. The advent calendar
Children await the advent calendar of almost as much as Christmas gifts.
In the example below all packets are numbered just like in a real calendar. Wait for the 25 december is easier if every day you can open a pack with a small gift in. It is not necessary that the gifts are expensive, chocolates and biscuits are perfect.
Look for a branch and hang on the wall, with the colored thread hang all the little packets are numbered and you will have an advent calendar perfect for babies.
14. The tree
How to buy a real Christmas tree?
In America is used often and we see it constantly in all the special Christmas of our favorite series. Usually in Italy, When we make the tree, using a fake tree, but if I recommend you use a small fir tree that can grow all year? Would be a nice idea to grow a tree and can be re-used year after.
15. Decorated the balls
Creativity first and foremost!
The balls that you buy in stores are standard, solid and without special decorations. If we want to make it even more personal than our tree, if we want that nobody has colors and decorations like ours we must realize something new. Glitter and gold leaf are perfect to create drawings and letters on Christmas balls. But don't just simple decor… you can add elements of trimmings and make three-dimensional balls.
16. Which balls the balls!
Fed up with balls?
If the answer is yes then you can create all the decorations you want with the most preferred materials, the important thing is that you can hang them all tree, then remember to predict a hole to insert the tape. Fimo, das, cold ceramic (or corn pasta), Salt dough… I don't think of others and to you? With cookie-cutter or cutter you can shape you want your alternative decorations.
To try absolutely as tags for gifts to put under the tree.
17. Paper houses
Can not miss at Christmas candles.
These tin candle holder houses are fantastic but if we want to achieve them for our home and keep their function we have to remove the roof otherwise our creation of paper should be in flame after a few minutes. On the net you will find several free templates to print to create the paper houses. Just print, cut and paste. Alternatively you can color. But I think in white are still classy.
18. Recycled cardboard
Recycle the cardboard is the easiest thing to do, especially if it's cut mini coloring trees and decorate as you wish.
In this case, simply retrieve the cardboard packaging that we do not use and cut out two stylized trees of the same measures. When clipped remember to drill a vertical cut in two forms to fit. After these steps you only need to decorate, coloring and glitterare your convenience.
19. Under spirit sapling
No alcohol but only water and, it happens, glitter to build this small snow ball with subject onto water. As a child I was fascinated and today I discover that I can get one at no cost, just a glass jar and a subject of your choice. I would put in place of a tree a small deer. And you, what would you like to put inside the jar?
20. Paper garland and glitter
Remember when I suggested above by glitter? I couldn't give you best advice!
This garland is really low cost and easy to implement, you need glitter the color you like, paper cutouts and a sewing machine. I must say that the crucial step to create this wreath with paper is the sewing machine that will allow you to merge all paper pads.
Remember to use glitter before you sew the garland.
