How can I add an old fashioned touch to my decorating scheme using homemade Christmas decorations?

Homemade Christmas Decorations

Throughout the year, keep your eyes open for old fashioned runner sleds. These make great homemade Christmas decorations. What you'll need: 1. A runner sled 2. Pine or fir boughs (cut some from the bottom of your tree) 3. Large velvet bow. 4. 100 string lights 5. Glue gun Using a hot glue gun, glue tree boughs to the top of the sled, filling in all gaps for a lush look. Wrap the lights loosely around the sled. Add a coordinating bow to the sled's handle. Plug in and enjoy! Makes a wonderful indoor or outdoor decoration. If you are going to use these inside, however, I suggest making them very close to the holiday, as the needles tend to fall quickly.
