able to nd these at a craft
shop or variety store!)

Pom Pom Garland:
1. Wrap the wool around your fork, keeping it as tight as possible and tie a knot in the middle.
2. Cut each side down the middle and you have a pom pom! You will need to give them a little haircut to even out the sides
3. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have enough pom poms to fill your garland! Glue them all to a long piece of yarn.
Cardboard Ornaments:
1. Cut some groovy shapes out of cardboard.
2. Paint your shapes!
3. Glue them together and glue a piece of yarn on as a hanger. Make some friends for your ornament!
Sun Tree Topper:
1. Poke your matchsticks into your styrofoam ball around the circumference.
2. Stick the pins through the sequins.
3. Repeat step 2 a million times until your sun looks like this!
TIP: Try using a smaller sized Christmas tree so you don’t spend the next 10 years making your decorations! Ours is a 3ft tiny tree
and we love it!
