Decorative branches
Decorated conifer branches are among the easiest decorations to make. You can not only put them on the table, but also hang them on the wall, door or in free space.

Hanging balls on a ribbon
You can also make hanging balls. Either create them directly from cut twigs, or stick them into a ball of polystyrene or flower arranging material. When you decorate them with the prepared decorative items, tie a long ribbon around them, which can also have a bow, and hang them on a window or ceiling.

Candlesticks
Another option for decorating the interior for Christmas is, of course, candlesticks. There are many ways you can make them.
