Christmas is just around the corner, Christmas is all around<\/em><\/a> as Billy Mack would say, and the time has come to decorate our homes to celebrate the coming festive season with family and friends. But as wastefulness is not the order of the day, at Monapart we wanted to compile a list of practical tips<\/strong> that will help you decorating your home with ornaments<\/strong> very easy to make, good, beautiful and above all, cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already have tree<\/strong> Christmas<\/strong> or recycle last year's, we offer you plenty of options to decorate it. From filter fabric balls<\/a> y stars made of woollen yarn<\/a>through to pendants made of with computer parts and CDs<\/a>s or with popsicle sticks<\/a>Even pieces with peanuts<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more sustainable option is the use of scrap clothing<\/a> that Caterina Perez from Kireei teaches us how to make and for the more handyman, the book 55 Christmas Balls to Knit<\/em><\/strong> of Norwegian designers Arne and Carlos<\/a><\/strong>which unveils a myriad of patterns inspired by Nordic models for knitting balls of yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't have enough space at home or you live with a feline that rampages through your home, we recommend you create a mural on any flat surface. Here are a few samples<\/a> made from all kinds of homemade parts and gadgets and also from the typical strips of Christmas lights<\/a><\/strong>. Greener proposals such as this<\/a> cardboard tree or this<\/a> another one made of newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make your guests' day when they arrive at your house, you can use some of the ideas for making Christmas wreaths that we have found at Bricomanias<\/a>. You can also reinvent the carrel decorations with much more original proposals, such as the hunting trophies<\/strong> from Softheads<\/a> o cardboard reindeer heads<\/a>. And what about the snowflakes with mats<\/a> o papier m\u00e2ch\u00e9<\/a> to give a winter look to the windows...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Christmas<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We do not forget the nativity scenes<\/strong>with mule and donkey included, nor of the The Three Wise Men<\/strong> (Andalusian or Conchinchina). Nor can we detract from our emblematic Ti\u00f3<\/strong>This time in crochet version to better appease the sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Christmas<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take note, monaparter, and get to work. This Christmas<\/strong> will, more than ever, be homemade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
