Step 1: Paper Chains

Make circles of paper and link together

Cut strips of coloured paper approx 25cm long, 2cm wide.

Start by sticking the two ends of one strip together in a loop. Make a chain by feeding each strip through the previous loop before sticking together.

Make the chain as long and as colourful as you like.

Step 2: Cornucopias

Twist cardboard

Twist a square piece of cardboard into a cone shape and stick together. You can download the .

Decorate and thread cornucopia with cotton

Decorate the cornucopias with pictures, ribbons and colour. Make each one different so they stand out on the tree. Thread cotton or string through the cornucopias, fill with sweets and then hang on the tree.

Holly Berries, Ivy Ribbons and Gift Bags also make great tree ornaments.
