Well, now that I've shown you how pick out a Christmas tree, it's time to show you one of the best things that you can actually put on that tree: homemade ornaments!
Hear me out: Just like everyone else, I love going to the store and buying new ornaments every year. Of course, I also crawl into the attic (or basement, or top of the closet) to get down the Christmas decorations that I saved from previous years. All of that is fun and good, but there's something extra-special about taking a little time to add some do-it-yourself super-cute Christmas crafts to decorate the tree with. Try one or all 5 of these simple Christmas crafts with the whole family–and everyone will love decorating the tree even more!
