ANNI’S CHRISTMAS DECORATION TIPS

1 Use spray paint Give old ornaments a new lease of life with a coat of metallic colour. Ice the tips of evergreens and pine cones with snow spray for a festive feel.

2 Start foraging Fill a shallow glass vase with nuts, pine cones, berries and cinnamon sticks and display on rough offcuts of wood to create a rustic centrepiece.

3 Bake biscuits Edible ornaments smell and look fantastic. I hang biscuits and salt-baked rye bread hearts on the tree with ribbon.

4 Display the everyday Vintage cookie cutters, old keys and pieces of jewellery can look beautiful and add an individual touch to the tree.

5 Make it personal Simple paper tags can be personalised with Polaroids or black-and-white photos of loved ones. Stamp the names of family and guests on them and use as place cards.
