Christmas decorations ideas to make at home

Handcrafted from artificial greenery and bright berries, this garland lasts period after season.

1. Use needle-nose pliers to bend ⅛" armature cable ($9.61 for 20'; amazon.com) to the 8" letters that show your chosen word or term. Protect the letters with green flowery tape ($1.99; michaels.com).

2. For each letter, cut a 3" bit of line and wrap it with flowery tape. Then, bend one end into a little cycle (1" or less in diameter) and secure it with floral tape into the back of letter toward the most notable. (For letters like J, T and Y, you'll need a loop for each end towards the top.)

3. Pull the small sprigs off a synthetic Juniper Pine Garland ($24.99 for 6'; factorydirectcraft.com) and, working bottom to top, utilize flowery tape to secure them in the stem toward front side of each and every page form to produce a base. After that, use hot glue to fill in the leading and edges of each and every letter with increased greenery. (The sprigs should overlap a little.)

4. Hot-glue faux or dried fruits (available at art shops) to every page. Once completely dried out, thread a length of 2" to 3" purple ribbon through loops to hold.
