Paper Holly Garland
Add some greenery to your office with a DIY paper holly garland. This can be easily made with some leftover green and red paper/ post-it notes, a marker, scissors and some glue or Sellotape.
Or, if you don’t have coloured paper, you could use markers or pens to colour white paper.
Drape the garlands over desks or hang from the walls. You could make a holly wreath out of this to bring some colour to your office doors!

Thumbtack Ornaments
You can make a stunning Christmas tree ornament using, yes, that’s right, thumb tacks! Simply gather some blue tack and mould it into a ball. Then stick thumb tacks into the ball until it is fully covered.
You could also use paper to make a sphere and cover the outside in the thumbtacks too. Then, gather some string or fashion a paperclip into a hook which can be used to place the ornament on your office tree.
