As you can see in the picture below, it is not difficult to make.

Christmas balls made of paper

Do you have any CDs or DVDs at home? Great! Use it to make a paper ball base.

Instructions:

• To make 10 identical cones using a CD or DVD, first divide each circle into 8 equal parts using a pencil.
• Cut these lines gradually, stopping about 1.5 cm from the center to create individual pieces. Next, wrap each piece around a pencil to form a cone, and glue the edges together.
• You will need a needle, thread, and 2 pieces of rubber, felt, or hard paper to connect the cones.
• Thread the needle through one piece of elastic, then thread one cone after another until all ten are attached.
• Finally, thread the second piece of elastic on and pull the thread tight, securing everything with a knot.

Christmas decoration of the apartment from buttons

This decoration is simple and quick. You will only need a styrofoam cone, beads, colored buttons, and pins.

The only procedure is threading and stabbing.

Method

• Thread multiple beads and buttons onto the pin, then pin them together to form a cone. There are no limits to imagination.
• Continue until the entire cone is covered with buttons.

You can use the finished decoration as a Christmas window decoration or as a table or shelf decoration.

Christmas snowmen from corks

Almost everyone has corks at home. You don’t have to throw them away right away. Use them as a simple and original Christmas tree decoration.

Method

• Fasten the corks together with a wire or glue them together with glue and attach them to a decorative ribbon.
• Paint the glued plugs with colored markers from the inside or outside. It depends purely on your taste.
• You can also play more with the plugs and, instead of a marker, attach beads to them using glue to represent eyes, mouth, nose, and buttons.
• Finally, wrap a decorative ribbon around the snowman’s neck to serve as a scarf. And you’re done!

If you like decorations in the form of figures on your tree, you can try making a Christmas elf instead of a snowman. You can not only hang this decoration but also place it on a table or display it in your window.

Christmas mistletoe

Christmas is a time of peace, and well-being, but also love. More than ever, we should spend time with our near and dear ones at Christmas.

Bring love into your home too, in the form of Christmas mistletoe!

And why have mistletoe at home?

Tradition says that if you have mistletoe at home, hung, for example, on a door frame, you will have enough love for the whole next year. Of course, you must not forget to kiss your beloved half under the mistletoe.

But you don’t just have to hang the mistletoe. You can add it as an ornament to an Advent wreath or put it in a vase on the table. Be careful, however, that the vase does not contain water. Mistletoe begins to fall off when in contact with water.

Christmas tree

Do you live in a small apartment and worry about where to put your Christmas tree?

Don’t fret! You don’t need a huge tree to have a successful Christmas. Instead, opt for a small Christmas tree in a decorative flower pot. You can decorate it with classic ornaments and add lights to give it a festive look.

A tree in a flowerpot isn’t only a good choice for those who have smaller apartments, you can also place a small tree in your hall or in front of your front door to remind you that it’s Christmas time every time you see it.

Christmas ice lighting

The Christmas season brings with it a beautiful transformation where everything becomes serene, fragrant, and glittering.

You can add to the magic of this season by decorating your home with LED lights that can have a calming effect on your soul.

These lights are versatile and can be used in various ways such as adorning your Christmas tree, hanging them in your window, or casually placing them among your plants.

You can even create a magical effect by placing LED lights in a jar that appears to be flying inside the jar only to fly out once the lid is opened.

Not only can you decorate the interiors of your home with lights, but you can also use them to add charm to your balcony. For this purpose, we suggest using solar light chains that obtain energy from sunlight. Let the beauty of these lights fill your home and heart with warmth and joy during this festive season.

You will never spoil anything with Christmas decorations in the apartment. Get inspired by our tips and bring peace, well-being, and the right Christmas atmosphere to your home.

Let your imagination run wild and decorate your home exactly to your taste.
