Homemade Christmas Decoration
As an alternative to the usual plastic trim used for Christmas
decoration for the mantle, centerpieces or tables use real Christmas
trim. This you can get while buying your Christmas tree. Here are a
few suggestions on how to use tree trim for decorating your home.

poinsettia
flowers, pinecones and pomegranates within it.
- Place trim on balconies and banisters and
hand pomegranates as ornamentation in between the trim.
- Twine cranberry beads in between the
Christmas tree trim.
- Tie cinnamon sticks with ribbons and tie in
between trim.

glass
bowl, add pinecones, small pomegranates, apples
and ornaments to the bowl and place it on the table as a centerpiece
decoration. You can add tiny handmade paper snowflakes on top.
