New stars for your Christmas tree! A bow, an angel or a peace dove—see how to make them
The topper is the crown of the Christmas tree. Make a showstopping oversized bow, an angel from reusable materials, or a peace dove sewn from felt. Each one makes your tree unique.
Make a charming cardboard angel for your Christmas tree—a topper made with reused materials
Craft a Christmas angel as your tree topper. It comes together from craft-box finds, old decorations, leftover cardboard, scraps of cardstock, ribbons, and lace.
This year’s big hit is a giant bow for the Christmas tree—see the instructions and make it yourself
A showstopping bow tied from a long ribbon can be the only decoration your tree needs. Reuse old curtains or a long tablecloth for the bow. The seam and the fastening iron wire tuck neatly into the knot.
Make a peace dove as your tree topper—a white bird that proclaims hope and the peace of Christmas
Felt, fiberfill, and sequins become a beautiful tree topper: a white dove that spreads its wings over Christmas. Hand-embroidered words or tiny beads make the bird uniquely yours. When a symbol of peace rests at the top of the tree, peace of Christmas fills the whole home.
