Create Your Special Christmas with Unique Ornaments on the Tree
It's very easy to step into any major store at Christmas time and walk out with
armfuls of interesting ornaments with which to decorate your Christmas tree. And that was a great way to start building your own family's celebrations when you were young and out on your own for the first time. But now as the years go by you'll want to personalize your tree with unique ornaments that reflect you and your family and not the tastes of an anonymous buyer for a large store.Sure, you selected ornaments that you liked from the mass-produced ones available in the store or maybe picked up ones like those your parents used. So it was all your choice. But when you begin adding Christmas ornaments made by individuals and artists to your tree then you enter into a whole new world.
When you buy a handmade ornament you will know that no one else in the world has an ornament exactly like yours. Even when the maker uses a pattern, each individual piece will have certain irregularities that set it apart. Often the creator will deliberately make slight variations from one piece to another.
Handmade ornaments also have a person behind them, not a machine. Instead of putting your money towards maintaining a factory line it will go towards helping out an individual, whether you purchase the ornament directly from the artist or from the retail shop that is helping get the ornaments from the artist to you.
There is an even greater variety of handmade ornaments than mass-produced ones because each design only needs to appeal to a few people, sometimes just one, instead of many. You can even have your favorite artists create custom pieces for you with your favorite colors, initials, or other special touches.
Depending on the ornaments you select you can also choose more environmentally friendly options that what is offered from many larger companies. There are ornaments available that are designed with recycled materials or use organic cottons and other renewable materials.
You can also make ornaments yourself. If you're a little worried about how it will turn out then start by buying a kit from the craft store. Follow the steps, but make a point of doing something a little different. Get an extra bit of paint to turn a red bow into a gold one or switch out a fabric backing with a scrap of old pajamas.
The best part is that as you replace the mass-produced ornaments with unique Christmas ornaments made by hand your tree will begin to look different. It will become one that could not possibly belong to anyone but you. When your friends come over they will be fascinated by the unusual pieces and you will be able to tell them stories about your favorite pieces.
Your children will likely become attached to specific ornaments that appeal to them. Someday, when they grow up maybe they'll take a couple with them to start their own Christmas trees with these symbols of many happy holidays. In the meantime, you can introduce friends and family to the joys of unique ornaments by giving them as presents.
