- <p><h1>DIY Fabulous Christmas Decorations</h1></p><br/><br /> <p>A loose colour theme will keep your holiday exuberance in check so you can be more daring with the amount and variation of <a href="http://www.canadianfamily.ca/activities/crafts/christmas-craft-idea-santas-belly-ornament/">ornaments</a> on your tree. Homemade metallic accents, like can lids and pasta garlands covered in silver and gold glitter spray paint, are a playful complement to red and white store-bought balls. </p><br /> <p><b>Tip:</b> Use craft-store decals (of snowflakes and stars or the kids’ initials) to jazz up the lids or plain, inexpensive balls. </p>
