As promised, I am now posting the Christmas decorations I have created to embellish our house, business, and church. As much as possible, I tried not to buy items to make these decorations to save money, so I focused on recycling and reusing materials to complete my Christmas decor.
Using twine, yarn, strings, flowers, ribbons, or any other material you have, you can create a perfect Christmas decor out of empty wine bottles or even ordinary bottles you have in your house.
Wreaths and Garlands
I outlined the letters on the chipboard, then covered them with garland and added stars for additional highlights. I personally made the stars using a self-hardening clay recipe.

Glass Windows / Doors
I painted the cut-out letters with gold poster paint. The stars and snowflakes are made from self-hardening clay. This is a no-cook clay recipe that uses simple ingredients (glue and cornstarch) and is easy to make. Recipe here.
More decors
I bought battery-operated candles to replace Christmas lights. It is not a good idea to place Christmas lights with very young children in the house because of their electrical hazards. I can't promise to have my eyes on them 24/7. Little children are always fascinated by lights and the ornaments that attract them to pull these items from the tree. These candles make it safe for my children to touch.
