Advent is perhaps the most popular crafting season for children and adults. Along with classic Christmas baubles and garlands, simple low-cost materials can be turned into beautiful decorations for the Christmas tree with the kids. Here are a few simple ideas that do not take much time, money, or effort to make.
Decorating the Christmas Tree with Natural Materials
Natural decorative elements such as fruit and pine cones make the Christmas tree look more alive. If you decorate them with ribbons, lace, or bows in a matching color scheme, you create a unique and effective design for the Christmas tree. Artificial snow helps create the desired frosty effect.
Decorating the Christmas Tree with Floral Motifs
A classic floral pattern can look modern and graphic. All you need is a marker and a few white Christmas baubles. Decorate them effectively with floral and paisley motifs. Abstract patterns are well known in design and become highly expressive when staged in black and silver. The ornaments also look good with a frosty finish.
Knitted sleeves for Christmas baubles with cable patterns
You can knit a cozy sweater for foam balls and decorate it with red velvet ribbon. Add a loop for hanging and complete the design with a Christmas star or artificial flowers.
Christmas tree decorations made from salt dough
Shape snowflakes from salt dough, bake and cool them, then outline them with a red marker and decorate them with small hearts.

Coat the baubles with bright red acrylic paint and let them dry. Then glue on letter and snowflake stickers to bring a festive mood into your home.
