|
|
All the biodegradable foam that come in packages, don't toss away instead use them as artificial snow on and beneath your Christmas tree.

|
I am trying to come up with inexpensive centerpiece ideas for a collegiate gymnastics banquet. Time is a consideration as the banquet is in two days. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

| Stringing Popcorn for the Tree
|
|
Popcorn for stringing will crumble less easily as you string it if you pop it the day before you use it and let it sit out and get a wee bit soggy.

| Getting Our Tree in the National Forest
|
|
My husband I have a favorite Christmas tradition that we started several years ago. Every year, we cut our own Christmas tree in our nearby National Forest. We leave work early and have a wonderful time tromping through the snow to find just the "right tree."

| Packing Peanuts for Decorations
|
|
You can use a large needle with fishing line to string together packing peanuts for draping over trees in the yard at Christmas. It won't hurt the tree but if you live where there is significant wind, forget it. You can also use them indoors on the Christmas tree.

| "Silver" Chain Outdoor Tree Decoration
|
|
Have the kids or grandkids make you a chain of silver for the tree. Mine made me enough to decorate my dwarf peach tree when they were in grade school. Now they are grown and it is still used. They made a "paper chain" using foil. I love it. It has been rained on and windblown, and has lost a few links but still looks great on the tree. HUGS

| Paperwhites Make Great Greenery During the Winter
|
|
Paperwhites make great greenery during the winter and don't need a period of cold in order to bloom. They can be planted in a bowl of rocks or sand with garlands to make them look more festive.

| Use a Timer for Christmas Tree Lighting
|
|
For many years we would plug in our tree every evening & then before we went to bed we would unplug it. It finally dawned on us that we could eliminate doing that by using a timer connected to that outlet. Now, like clockwork, our tree goes on at 5 pm and off at 11 pm. Try it, you'll like it.
