These simple handmade decorations will add Christmas charm to your home.

Making your own Christmas decorations is a truly thoughtful way to celebrate the holiday. By creating your own unique decorations, you will have a store of happy memories to bring out each year. It's also good for you – crafting has been shown to reduce stress – and good for the planet, reusing and recycling materials you have around the home and not buying environmentally harmful products such as glitter and plastic. The 27 projects in Christmas Ornaments are divided into Tree Decorations, Wreaths and Garlands and Table Decorations, covering every aspect of decorating your home for this special time of year. With an emphasis on simple Scandinavian style and easy techniques, these are quick makes with no special skills required, just basic sewing, cutting, sticking and arranging.
