Nice Affordable Miniature Christmas Trees.
For those whose budgets are already strained and are having a hard time buying all of the commercialized Christmas tree ornaments found in most stores, making your tree on a budget can be easy and cheap. You, also, can design a cute and nice looking ornamental tree without having to sacrifice style and beauty. Beside being cost-effective, these Christmas tree mini-decors are great for your kids. With these Christmas tree decorations instructions, you'll have a nice Christmas tree in no time.
COOKIE TREE:
Make a delectable cookie tree. Be creative by baking cookies in all shapes and sizes. Dress up the cookies with non-pariel rainbow seeds or sprinkles to give the cookies that extra splash of color. To hang the cookies on the tree, roll a small piece of cardboard - the size of a dime - and insert it in the top of the cookie before baking. This will ensure the holes remain open during the baking process. Afterward, insert ribbons into the holes in the cookies and hang them on the tree.
On the top of the tree, place a large gingerbread cookie with a small Christmas light in its center. Before putting this gingerbread cookie in the oven, follow the same trick by inserting a rolled piece of thick paper in the center of the cookie. You can dress up the gingerbread cookie using colored icing with Christmas color themes.
Create an adorable tree skit by using an apron that has decorative images such as fruit, or yes, even cookies. Now you have cookie cutter Christmas ornaments recipes for the tree.
SNOWY TREE:
There is another cheap way to build and decorate a beautiful tree with a snowy Christmas tree. Gather cotton balls and stick them on the tips of the branches. Have white glitter ready and sprinkle it over the cotton balls to give it a sparkling effect. Or you can cut silver garland into little tiny strips to achieve the same effects.
Need something to put on top of the tree? Build a snowman. Just by using your favorite pastry dough, shape the dough into the form of a snowman. Cover the entire snowman with white sugar frosting. Use chocolate chips for his eyes, and carve a nose using a knife for a small carrot. Make a smile on his face is easy by using chocolate from a pastry bag.
To make a tree skirt, simply use red or green cardboard. With scissors, cut it into an arc. Get about two to three cups of flour and add water. Put the flour on the cardboard's surface to give it the appearance of newly fallen snow. Also, a sprinkle of white glitter will enhance the look.
