Christmas: This year, decorate a gourmet tree!
Did you know that at 15e In the 19th century in Europe, the fir tree was decorated with only edible items. Nuts, apples and other winter fruits, candies, cookies and small gingerbread figures were the mainstay of its holiday adornment.
It might be fun to bring back a time-honored and fun tradition this year. Kids will love it! Here are some ideas to help you make this irresistibly delicious project a reality.
Original garlands : for unusual garlands, simply thread natural or colored popcorn flakes onto transparent wire. Arrange them as you would for conventional garlands.
Hanging items : Que de choix! Bonbons en papillotes, chocolats emballés, biscuits percés, étoiles en sucre filé, bretzels de toutes sortes, cannes de Christmas (incontournables…). Sans oublier les petits baluchons en tissu coloré remplis de surprises à déguster. Pour suspendre ces décorations, il vous suffira de glisser un fil à travers chaque élément et d’en attacher les extrémités avec un nœud solide. Dans certaines formes (les bretzels, par exemple), il vous sera possible d’y passer un joli ruban. N’hésitez pas à alterner ou à combiner les éléments pour encore plus d’originalité.
A little magic : To replace regular Christmas baubles, you can find clear plastic baubles in a craft store that can be opened to place a surprise inside. The small macarons, so popular in recent years, which come in several types and colors, are perfect for filling these "magic baubles."
By passing a thin ribbon through the ring of each of these filled spheres, you will be able to create a most original garland.
A natural note
To complete this delicious decoration, add a natural touch by placing wheat ears in different places around the tree. To give it a snowy look, simply dust it with white flour.
