Adults should hot glue Xmas tree triangles altogether, and children can embellish with sparkles, pom poms, and little jingle bells. Make an entire set to use as homemade decor; these popsicle stick Xmas trees look adorable strung with each other in a garland.
Candy-Cane Reindeer
These candy cane reindeer are another fantastic low-cost DIY option that will bring a bit of whimsy to your Christmas styling. Quickly glue on little bright red pom noses and wiggly eyes, then wrap a brownish pipe cleaner antler over the candy cane slope.
