Craft Stick Santa Claus
To make Craft Stick Santa Claus, materials such as a big craft stick, white felt (½ sheet), acrylic paints (red, white, black, peach, pink and gold), black marker, felt glue, scissors, a piece of yarn (8") and toothpick would be required. It is one of the interesting homemade Christmas tree ornament ideas to consider. The procedure of preparing the Craft Stick Santa Claus is quite simple. At first, the entire stick has to be painted white. The top part for the hat should be colored red and a pom-pom needs to be glued on its tip. A peach color should be used for the face while a little bit of pink for painting the cheeks. Black paint would be needed for coloring the eyes and the belt at the center of the stick. Golden paint can be used to add details to the belt. The boots at the bottom too should be colored in black. Three strips of white felt need to be cut and glued; one below the hat, the next below the belt and the last above the boots.

Paper Snowflakes
Paper snowflakes, just like the Craft Stick Santa Claus, are easy to prepare. One would require a piece of white paper and sharp scissors to make this personalized Christmas ornament. The paper to be used in the preparation of snowflakes needs to be square-shaped. The squares of sides with 5 inches are perfect for this Christmas craft. The square should be folded diagonally to make a triangle. The triangle should again be folded to make a smaller one. The resulting triangle should be divided in equal parts and the left & right sections should then be folded over the central one. The end of the resulting shape that is opposite to the tip, needs to be cut at an angle to make edges of the snowflakes pointed. Small triangles need to be cut out with the help of scissors from the sides. Unfolding the paper carefully is important to prevent tearing the design. Read more on:

Floral Rosette Ball Ornament
This easy to make Christmas ornament can be prepared with the help of a foam ball, miniature size floral roses, and a ribbon which is 16 inches in length. The foam ball should be wrapped with the ribbon and a knot tied at the top. The loose ends of the ribbon need to be tied together in such a manner that a nice bow is created. The floral roses used for decorations should preferably be with wires as their stalks. The wires stalks of ¼ to ½ inch lengths need to be maintained. The florals should then be pressed into the foam ball using the points of the wire stalks. The foam ball can be painted with glue (before pressing the wire stalks) in order to make sure that the florals do not come off.

Significance of Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree holds immense importance in the celebrations of Christmas. It is a typical symbol associated with the festival celebrated during the winter solstice. The Christmas tree is a coniferous and evergreen tree decorated with various ornamental items. The tree can either be placed outdoors or indoors and nowadays, artificial trees are commonly used along with the natural ones. The evergreen Christmas tree symbolizes the fertile time of planting when the Sun begins its ascent after the winter solstice (21st December). Read more on:
