Grab some cinnamon sticks, glue them into star shapes, and hang them on
your tree. Bonus: they smell as good as they look.

Dough Ornaments β This is a throwback to elementary school days, but
now itβs even better because you get to add glitter (again, why is glitter

sweaters for your tree? Perfect! Get creative with wool, felt, or fabric
scraps, and make your tree look like itβs had a major fashion upgrade.
