Just a thought that it might be nice to share ( and discuss) some ideas of home-made decorations- either ones you are making or have seen on the internet which others might find simple/pretty enough to be tempted to make.
Ideally using 'natural' products which can be collected for free from the countryside- but anything really.
I've thought about spraying seed heads and hanging these small bouquets from the tree using Xmas ribbon.
Decorating blown eggs- these would look nice in Xmas colours- they used different sized eggs. I wonder if you'd need to bake them first to prevent the eggy smell???
