Everyone has a different idea of what makes a beautiful Christmas tree. Some people like glittering tinsel, while others prefer garlands made of popcorn, cranberries, or paper loops. And there’s the age-old debate of what should top the tree: a star or an angel? Plus, department stores have taken decorating to the next level with themed Christmas trees. Themes include color schemes, rustic décor, and once I even spotted a peacock-themed tree! There are so many ways to decorate a Christmas tree for the holidays, and it’s just a shame that I can’t feature a different one in every room of my house!
But even if you can’t have an entire tree dedicated to this year’s trendy color or decoration, you can certainly incorporate a special ornament into your family Christmas tree. My secret trick is ornament exchange parties- they are a fantastic way to explore new styles and tastes. Host your own ornament exchange party this year with the selection of discounted ornaments at CutRateCrafts.com. There are so many options that you won’t want to trade them… you’ll want to keep them all for yourself!
I love the look of vintage Christmas trees. It brings me back to a time when Christmas was less about the gifts under the tree and more about spending time with family as we decorated the tree together. If you like old-fashioned Christmas trees, then you’ll love the Mittens Ornament Kit. This kit makes a set of six ornaments that can be filled with candy canes or other treats. Just use the included woolfelt, embroidery floss, star buttons, beads, and more and follow the complete illustrated instructions to make cute mitten ornaments. These are great for decorating the tree, but also look adorable handing from doorknobs or embellishing a present. Anyone will be thrilled to receive these at an ornament exchange party!
Nothing is more festive than a bit of sparkle, so transform a holiday tree into a winter wonderland with the Holiday Beaded Ornament Kit – Crystal Angels. This kit makes 6 absolutely stunning ornaments, and includes all of the beads you will need to complete the craft. Each adorable angel will have a halo, wings, and skirt that glitter like the sparkling icicles outside! These angel ornaments will look lovely on any Christmas tree. Give the whole kit to one person, or make the ornaments yourself and give one ornament to six people so everyone can enjoy them.
Is there anything cuter than a teddy bear? Yes… a teddy bear decorated for Christmastime! The Lots of Bears Ornaments Felt Applique Kit features adorable teddy bears dressed in cozy scarves and fluffy Santa hats, holding candy canes, and even popping out of a Christmas stocking! These teddy bear Christmas ornaments will be loved by children and adults alike. Each kit includes felt, cotton floss, sequins, beads, needle, patterns and easy-to-follow instructions. You’ll love that these ornaments are easy to store! No more shattered glass bulbs means you can enjoy these ornaments for years to come. These will definitely be the favorite ornaments of any ornament exchange party.
There are a lot of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, but the most memorable are the ones that show heart. A mixture of styles creates a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree that is unique to you. Plus, when ornaments are homemade, they become extra-special. Host an ornament exchange party and give your tree a makeover with discounted Christmas ornament kits from CutRateCrafts.com.
