Decorating the Christmas tree is a time when the family gathers in the living room, and everyone adds their special touch to the family tree. There are several fun Christmas tree decorating ideas that you and your family can use to create a unique decorating theme. - Creating Christmas tree ornaments out of food can be a fun way to add your family's unique touch to your tree decorations. Make some popcorn and then use a needle and thread to create popcorn garland. Be sure to keep small children away from the needle and also prevent them from trying to eat the garland. You could also use glue to create a popcorn ball and then decorate it with holiday colors.
You could paint your popcorn decorations to give them a holiday look. You could also create basic dough and make hard cookies that you can decorate and use as Christmas tree ornaments. If you have pets in the house, you will want to keep the food ornaments higher up the tree and out of the way of grabbing paws. - Consider using decorations outside the tree that tie into the tree decorating theme. For example, you could get some elf statues and place them on either side of the tree. Then tape the end of the tree garland in the elves' hands and make it look like the elves are holding the garland in place.
According to Amazing Christmas Ideas, you could also suspend white dove figures from the ceiling, and wrap the tree in strings of white beads that end up in the mouths of the doves.
Instead of hanging the stockings on the fireplace, why not run some clothesline from the Christmas tree to the fireplace and hang the stockings on the line. Experiment with different ways to place decorations outside the tree that work with the decorations on the tree. - Creating movement with your Christmas tree decorating is always fun. You can run a toy train around the base of your tree and use that as your Christmas Express. Another option is to get the tree itself to start spinning.
According to Holiday Christmas Tree, you can get a rotating Christmas tree stand for an artificial tree or a real tree. Your rotating Christmas tree can add a unique element to your Christmas decorating. - If you have the room in your home then consider putting up a display of more than one tree. Try a larger tree in the middle and then two smaller trees on either side. You can choose a color theme that has the outside trees red and the inside tree white to give a candy cane look, or try other fun decorating themes for your multiple tree set up.
