The Christmas tree has been a symbol of the Christmas season since before the advent of Christianity – seems impossible, huh? But it is true! From the early Romans to the Egyptians, the evergreens from the tree and the tree itself would remind the people that the sun would shine and things would grow again when summer comes.
Queen Victoria started the tradition we know today by having a sketch of the royal family in front of a tree at Christmas time in 1846. It blossomed from there. Today, we cover our trees with decorations and ornaments – even ornaments made to look like Christmas trees. Here is our collection of tutorials all around the internet of these kinds of ornaments.
