Tree toppers are the ornaments that you see on top of the Christmas tree. Your Christmas tree decoration won’t be complete without them. They practically serve as the focal feature of the entire Christmas tree design. The type of topper that you should use to adorn your tree will depend on what look you want to achieve. Tree toppers come in many different designs, from simple ones to those with complex style details. However, if you intend to maximize your budget, it would be a more practical to create handmade Christmas tree toppers. Making one on your own is not as hard as you might have originally thought. In fact, you can choose to produce simple looking toppers if you want to. Having a custom-made tree topper would surely introduce a personal touch to your tree decoration. That said, here are some great and easy ideas on how to make handmade toppers for your Christmas tree.
- Holiday treats topper – Your kids would surely love to see delectable and appealing Christmas cookies on top of the Christmas tree. To do this, you can either buy or make cookies of varying sizes, shapes, and textures. When the cookies have already cooled down, you need to coat them with acrylic or varnish and then allow them to dry. Attach the acrylic coated cookies to a cone shaped tree topper and you can also add some plastic-wrapped candies to complete the look. Use a glue to properly secure them in place, and embellish the topper according to your likings. Once done, you can now position the holiday treat topper at the topmost part of the tree.
- Branch and twigs topper – If you want to use natural looking items in decorating your tree, then this kind of homemade topper is something that you should consider. To make one, you have to gather small branches and twigs which you need to cut into similar lengths, preferably around 6 inches or even less. With the aid of a glue gun, use the twigs to form a shape of a star. How you want the star too look like is entirely up to you. Design it according to how you see fit. You can choose to paint the topper or simply varnish it. After that, you can now place your branch and twig star at the top of the Christmas tree.
- Ribbon topper – This is perhaps one of the most common and easiest homemade topper that you can use to adorn your tree. Pick a velvety, metallic or patterned ribbon that will offer a striking look to your Christmas tree decoration. Tie it like a big bow and secure the loop with the use of a wire. Set the ribbon atop the tree and allow its waves to beautifully cascade down the tree. You may opt to use ribbons of different sizes and colors and then fasten them together to come up with a head-turning ribbon topper.
With a little creativity and a wild imagination, creating an original tree topper design will surely be as easy as a breeze. Complement your tree with heart-warming Christmas greetings, magnificent lighting, and adorable ornaments to give way for a stunning and appealing Christmas home décor.
