Christmas in the country is a time of celebration, joy, and homemade goodies. Even if you don’t live in the country, you can still give your home the feeling of a country Christmas. Start by making some handmade decorations for your tree. Using cookie cutters, you can cut out many shapes and designs of decorations. Start by cutting out two identical shapes from felt, and another from batting. You can either stitch the ornament, or use fabric glue to stick the two pieces together. The batting should be between the two pieces prior to sewing or gluing. Add things like eyes where needed, or ribbon, and decorate the ornaments, then hang them on your tree, along with hand strung popcorn and cranberries. You could also use the ornaments that your children have made in school to add a country look to your Christmas tree.
