Just like our grandmothers who were making homemade Christmas tree ornaments with natural supplies such as nuts, fruits and pine cones, we gather the whole family and have fun by making some creative ornaments. Some Christmas traditions are still cherished and continue even today. These handmade Christmas decorations have an unique appeal not only because they are cheap and easy to make, but also because we create memories with our family during the whole crafting process.
