The Alternative Advent Calendar ; Day 8
Try your hand at making christmas decorations this year - it's a good way to keep kids occupied too! Paper chains are very easy and make a nice substitute for tinsel. Instead of baubles for decoration, wrap match boxes up like tiny presents, and hang with ribbon or a thread. You can hang dried pine cones or seed heads from the garden in the same way - stick a bit of glitter on them to jazz them up. If you have a local source of holly or ivy, use some sprigs to decorate your home - around picture frames or mirrors, as a centre piece for the table etc. Just use your imagination, and you'll find you can make decorations out of all sorts of materials you already have at home!
