DIY Christmas decorations

[Just AnotherPerson]

Usually around this time of year we have wind storms that knock down tree branches. Sometimes I go around and collect the fallen pine branches to use as Christmas decorations. Here is the swag I made for my door this year. I am thinking of some Homemade garland too.

This one is also garland, I am only including this because I love the way her decorations turned out. The instructions begin at 10:20.

Thank you. I love watching videos like this even if it's something I wont make. They just give you so many ideas.

Palm trees are everywhere around the Phoenix area, thanks to whoever decided they needed to start planting them here in the first place. I had five big ones in the back yard when I bought this house and the wife had them removed within a year. Anyway, they drop these big brown fronds all over everything, and my late mother-in-law used to turn them into reindeer heads.
