Janice E. If you are going to make them for next year start collecting decorations now. You can pick up the small christmas decorations at the after Christmas sales and other things through out the year things like jewelery, tiny toys decorations. For some of the gifts under the tree I cut up pieces of styrofoam and wrapped them with Christmas fabric, I fussy cut out figures from fabric, like the Raggety Ann dolls and the stuffed bear sitting under the tree. There are so many things you can use to decorate.
