5 handy Christmas hacks

Use bulldog clips to hold up Christmas lights. It makes them easier to put up and take down.

Place rolls of ribbon basket and pull the ribbon through the holes in the side.

It keeps ribbons organised and makes them easier to cut to size.

Simply cut slits in an empty can using a craft knife, then spray paint the can gold and hang it from the tree using the tab.

A great way to recycle!

Instead of rolling Christmas lights into a messy ball, wrap them around a coat hanger. It makes them easier to unroll and store.

Place fragile decorations in a cardboard egg carton to prevent them getting damaged in storage.
