Looking for Christmas garlands that cost little or no money? Make a paper chain garland using the funny pages from the newspaper or colorful gloss ads. Just cut paper into strips, tape or staple the loops as you chain them together.
I remember doing one of those paper chains with my son. And the popcorn chain. I made many homemade tree ornaments, Was he ever excited or impressed? I just don't know. I believe it might have worked better if my wife would have joined in making these homemade things, She never did. So I guess I am saying if you attempt to make Homemade Christmas decorations make sure your other half is all for it, Merry Christmas To You Mr. Thrifty
