There is no need to buy expensive decorations this Christmas. Instead, use whatever you have in your home to make your own decorations, says Alta van Aard from the Suid-Afrikaanse Vroue Landbou Unie.
Review asked Van Aard to share some of her homemade decoration ideas:
- Take a small transparent bowl. Place some streamers in the bowl and add a bright-coloured Christmas tree ball on top of the streamers and you have a lovely table decoration.
- Take a flower vase, it can be any shape, and place it in the middle of the table. Put some streamers inside the vase and put a big flower or two on top of the streamers. Decorate around the vase with some sea shells or small stones if you don’t have sea shells.
- A person can decorate the glasses by adding a string of pearls around the bottom of the glasses.
Anything in our home can be used as decorations, including flowers from your garden.
