Are you bored with your current Christmas tree?

Seeing the same tree every year with the same decorations can be unexciting.

Why not make your own?

Creating your own unique Christmas tree means you can craft one that is the perfect size for your living space or you can make one to decorate a different spot in your home to make it a little bit more Christmassy.

It can be fun, especially if you’re doing it together with your children.

Plus, it’s a great way to go green this Christmas.
