2. A tree in masking tape

You don't have a lot of space in your living room to put up a Christmas tree! Use your walls to create a wall tree using masking tape. Then all you have to do is decorate it with garlands, stickers and some festive suspensions.

3. Natural Christmas garlands

Here is a great idea to reproduce the atmosphere of the end of the year celebrations in your interior. Here, natural elements such as fir branches, pine cones or even dried oranges have been hung on a rope, thus creating a pretty winter garland!

4. Paper snowflakes

If you can't buy new Christmas decorations, nothing prevents you from creating them yourself. It is also an opportunity to plan a small family activity. And to do that, you don't need much like those paper snowflakes that you can easily make origami.

5. A Christmas wreath

Who said making a Christmas wreath takes time? If the most sophisticated models require meticulous work, nothing prevents you from using a fir branch and forming a circle. Simple but effective, here are the keys to a minimalist Christmas decoration!

6. A Christmas terrarium

To decorate a table, a piece of furniture or a shelf, you can make a Christmas terrarium! If you do not have a terrarium, you can recover an old jar in which you can slide a miniature tree, fake snow and a miniature light garland (or led candles). The result also reminds us with nostalgia, the famous snowballs that we return.

As for the decoration of the Christmas tree, you can also easily get your hands dirty by taking inspiration from elements of nature. Like this inspiration, you can create Christmas balls using pine cones, small wooden or cardboard figurines and a few pieces of string!

8. A star garland

On the occasion of the end-of-year celebrations, you can customize your light garlands by decorating them with small stars (in paper, cork, cardboard, wood, etc.). We also like the idea of ​​hanging the light garlands from a branch to create a luminous and starry curtain!
