When you buy a fresh Christmas tree, you end up with some extras, from the wood slices from the trunk to the twigs and branches cut from the bottom.
These pieces can be used to create inexpensive, natural Christmas decorations for your home!
Snow Covered Pine Cones
While your Christmas tree won’t come with pine cones still attached, if you gather a few ahead of time, you can easily create these snowy pine cone ornaments to give your tree a natural look or incorporate into your holiday garland.
