You can decorate your tree with what you have, like small teddies, dolls, miniature hats, pinecones and so on. Or take a trip to the market and pick up colour full balls, clip on fairies, daisies, hollies, candies and much more. Its best to have 10 pieces of each kind to have a synchronized repeated look. The sections made on the tree ensure that the décor is proportionate. However, you can go in with a non-repeated, one of all kind look as well.
To add a little more colours, replace the string or wire ornament-hanging loops with ribbon loops. Silk flowers add a nice touch to more formal trees and can be clipped on to the branches. The white ones give a feel of snow while the red ones brighten the tree.
To add more glitter, get the kids to stick glitter in different patterns on the balls. Use a paintbrush to apply the glue in the pattern and then dip the ornament into the glitter to have a shiny effect. Don't forget to tap your child's creativity to make a truly homemade family tree.
