Simple Christmas decorations

I was inspired to make a ribbon Christmas tree on our wall that I had seen similar in a magazine.  The main reason being our busy (and frighteningly strong) little boy Finn is very likely to pull down any real Christmas tree at this point in time…Also we are heading on holiday the week prior to Christmas so the tree would have to come down anyhow.  Nothing worse than coming back from holiday to a dead tree in the living room;  I find it quite sad!

I also made the star on the top with iceblock sticks glued together; I like the natural look hence have not painted it

I have made some simple little wooden stars out of the same iceblock sticks (available from the craft store, you don’t have to eat a freezer full of ices!)

I simply glued the sticks in place, then wrapped a ribbon around the centre of the star

I then fixed them to the wall, so easy!  They would look fabulous hanging from the ceiling in a cluster or from the christmas tree
