DIY CHRISTMAS STARS
Decorating the Christmas tree with special ornaments seems like a gesture of the ancient time. Gone are the days when people restlessly waited for the Christmas time so they could take out the ornaments which each held a special meaning. Having caught up with the modern world, all people do is enter and exit a few shops and spend some money on the ornaments they think are pretty. These ornaments, no matter how pretty, don't hold the personal appeal and meanings like the ones we made ourselves in the older days did. So, why not surprise everyone this year by decorating the tree using handmade star ornaments instead? Not only would they have a personal feel, you would also be making new memories while making them that you can reminisce about over years.
