I love decorating for every holiday or season. I think the DIY decorations are the best, I always make the kiddos put their name and the year on them, because I know I won't remember years from now, but I'll still use the decorations.
One of our favorites is decorating toilet paper rolls and wine corks.
If you use toilet paper, just save the roll when you change it. The same with wine corks. So easy, right??!!??
We usually paint the roll/cork, then decorate. We have used paint, Sharpie pens, felt, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, ribbon....
It's so easy, and super cute!
If you are using wine corks and want to cut them just put them in a pot of water, bring to a boil, remove corks with a hot pad and cut with a bread knife, (or any serrated knife), easy-peasy!
You can find a lot of ideas on Pinterest, I show the kiddos but tell them I want them to use their imagination and make it their own. I love knowing that years from know I'll have these decorations and can show my grandkiddos what their parents made, and I hope my kiddos will make decorations with their kids.
I save all of the decorations in shoe boxes (aside from Christmas, then we have multiple plastic totes), the kiddos love getting the decorations out and seeing what they did "when they were young" in Little Miss B's words.
