Making your own Christmas decorations or gifts can save you money and give you a real sense of satisfaction.
With a little effort, some thought and not necessarily that much money you can create something that is beautiful and will be appreciated by all your friends and family.
Children in particular love making things; especially at Christmas.
Make Your Own Table Decorations
If you have a garden then you'd be surprised as to how many evergreen plants can be used to make a fun table centrepiece. Fir trees and holly trees are ideal for making a simple but pretty eye-catching table topper.
If you don't have a garden with suitable evergreen plant materials, it's easy to buy inexpensive pine cones and colourful poinsettias for an amazing splash of colour. Just visit your local garden centre or florist for plenty of ideas.
There's plenty more you can do...
