Cheap last-minute idea to decorate Christmas tree – and it’s simple

Many of us will already have our Christmas decorations up.

But if you’re looking for some last-minute ideas before the big day, this cheap trick can stunningly transform your home.

Festive fans often dream of having homes like the ones seen in popular Christmas films. From bright lights to grand trees, delicate baubles, tinsel and star or angel on the top, there is a lot that goes into it.

But the reality is that if you don’t already have decorations or your old ones need replacing, they can be expensive to purchase. Plus on top of the cost of festive feasts and gifts, the last thing you need is an extra expense.

One woman has come up with a simple and cheap way to make your Christmas tree look beautiful. Home vlogger Lauren, said: “Easiest and most inexpensive way to make your Christmas tree look special this holiday season.”

The content creator, better known as @laurenvisitedhere on her TikTok page where she raked in over 800,000 views, shares a video of her beautiful Christmas tree.

Lauren, who put her decorations up in early November, demonstrated how she fashioned bows on her tree.

She got three ribbon barrels in cream, brown and grey. You can purchase ribbon from The Range for 99p, and satin ribbon from Hobby Craft for £1.

Also she cut each roll into pieces before tying into bows then attaching them to her tree with wire. In order to secure the decorations, twist them onto the branch.

Her video raked in over one million views as Christmas fans were left impressed. “That turned out so cute,” said one individual.

“I love the bows so much,” said another. “So simple, so cute,” posted another. While someone else added: “Such a cute idea! Beautiful tree!”
