Merry Christmas 2021: Every year we look forward to the celebration of the Yuletide or Christmas when we remember Jesus Christ and His universal teachings. Gifts make this occasion special, especially the ones that are handmade. The Christmas tree is an essential part of any festive decor and greeting cards are the simplest gifts we share on this day. As we celebrate Christmas today, we are sharing some DIY tips for making Christmas trees and greeting cards at home.
Christmas trees
During our childhood, we went to the markets with our parents to buy small and cheap Christmas trees, with synthetic leaves. We spent hours decorating the trees and staring at them with content once they were done.
You can make a Christmas tree at home by making the branches with wooden sticks or dowels. You can then add real pine or faux pine leaves and decorate them with wreaths, ornamental balls, ribbons and small gift boxes. Add string lights to the tree, available in various shapes such as stars, flowers, and even snowflakes.

You can also make a paper cone at home. Attach cardboard, cut into a round shape, to the base and attach a dowel to the base to act as bark. Cut leaf shapes out of paper or cardstock and paint them green. You can also make leaves out of fabric; like wool. Attach these to the paper cone to complete your fir tree. Decorate it with the usual Christmas tree decor mentioned above.
Finally, don’t forget to add the nativity scenes of baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the three wise men. And while you’re at it, add Santa Claus and his beloved reindeer too.
greeting cards
Handmade greeting cards are, of course, better than store-bought, mass-produced cards. Handmade cards give a more personal touch because you use your time to create something special for someone you care about; a family member or a friend.
You can use handmade paper or regular greeting cards and paint a picture on it. Add a short but personal message. Put it in an envelope, seal it with glue available at home and you’re all set.
