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.
