This is an old-fashioned way to decorate your Christmas tree, but it's still beautiful and even ethnic. If you have any fruit that is starting to spoil, dry it! Cranberries, grapes, apple slices, orange slices, and even strawberries can be dried in a dehydrator or oven and strung with string and needle to create a cute Christmas tree garland. 

You can add absolutely anything you want to this garland, such as popcorn.

2. Use scraps of paper

Remember the paper snowflakes you made as a kid? Take out your scissors and make them again! Even use scraps of paper or newspaper scraps to make colorful snowflakes. Once you cut them out, use string or twine to hang them on the Christmas tree.

3. Use fabric scraps to the maximum

If you have scraps of fabric stashed somewhere, you can always tie them into bows and use them on your Christmas tree. If you don't have scraps of fabric, go through your old clothes and find pieces you can no longer use due to damage. Then just cut the fabric into strips and enjoy!

Get out old magazines and cut out pictures or even pictures of items you like. Attach a string or ribbon to these colorful pictures and hang them on your Christmas tree. Not only will it look cute, but it will fill you with the energy of creativity for the holiday season.
