Why Flocked Christmas Tree Decorations are Perfect for Kids
A peculiar joy about decorating Christmas trees with your kids is making their own Christmas trees for them and with them, making it “their” trees! Not to stray too far, here are the steps and points to follow to decorate these three flocked trees ideas with your kids.
A Straw Tree Topper
- Create a whimsical tree topper out of a foam sphere, paper straw, card stock, and finish it making use of glitters.
- Cut out different straws into different lengths, and then make a primary foam sphere by painting it in bright colours that sure don’t contradict each other.
- To make it more attractive, you could add the earlier mentioned glitters.
- To fix the sphere that’s supposed to be at the top of the tree, you should connect them by cutting the stock cards into a cone, then place it into the foam sphere.
- You can now attach the straws, and then place your topper on the tree.
Beautiful Garlands
- Place a spin on plastic animal figurines.
- Fit in screw eyes on the top of each animal.
- Then cut a strand of thread to size your tree.
- Fit in the beads and animal figurines into this thread.
- Then tie the ends into knots.
With those few steps, you have your beautiful garlands made!
Ornamental Button Trees
- Make an ornamental button tree out of the needle and colourful threads.
- Put a thread to a needle and knot the end.
- Then fix in an assortment of little neutral-coloured buttons into the thread as a base.
- Then build a tree figure with different large buttons fixed at the end.
- Place medium buttons in the centre, and smaller buttons close to the top
- You can add a star as a decoration on top of the tree for the hanger effect.
