Christmas isn’t complete without putting up a Christmas tree! But buying one can really be costly. The mesh ribbon Christmas tree makes a great and adorable Christmas DIY centerpiece in your home. You will only need 3 things to create this Christmas tree. First, you will need a mesh ribbon; I’d highly recommend the green one to resemble the Christmas tree leaves. Next you will need the foam piece for the core of the tree. And lastly, you will need the greening pins. Simply unroll the mesh ribbon one roll at a time and then twist them. Once twisted (it will look like a ringlet), pin it with the greening pin until you work your way to the top of the foam piece. Be sure to start with a wider arrangement in the bottom until you get narrower as you reach the top. You can then top this Christmas tree with balls and voila! You now have your cute Christmas tree!

Even if you’re not an expert in sewing, this Christmas DIY stockings will surely be a fun way to start with your Christmas decorations. So start by printing the stocking pattern (there are templates available for download in the internet or you can also design one of your own). Choose any fabric design you like. You will need 11″ x 14″ piece for front and back lining pieces and an 11″ x 14″ piece of fabric for front and back outside pieces. Then cut the stocking shapes by matching wrong sides together. Now pair them up and sew them together. You can add some embroidery on the top part of the names of your children, family or friends.

First, you will need a sand paper, a tea light candle, a gold spray paint, a Stanley knife, ruler, masking tape and your empty and washed out can. With a ruler and masking tape, mark out the can. Then score straight lines along the can according to the marks. Cut through the surface. Gently press down the can and bend each section until it takes even shape. Spray with couple of paint (any color will do). Pop a tea light in the bottom of the can and light the lantern. It’s easy but you just have to be careful while doing the process.
