Making Christmas decorations is a great way to get into the holiday spirit, but it’s also a very effective way to make use out of small or awkward sized scrap wood that’s cluttering up the shop or just being thrown away.   Even old, worn out and broken decorations that have been cast aside can be given new life by adding them as accents to these projects.
