I was planning to have our Christmas tree set on the floor, unlike past few years, which it spent high on the shelf. That's why I wanted to have some decorations made from paper and plastics, so it wouldn't be easy to break them.
We played again with bottle caps. This is something very simple - just connect two caps using washi tape and then attach some decorative ribbon:
This craft is great because kids can easily make them, eventually they will need some help with binding ribbons, which can be a great fine-motor activity:

Our mailbox these days is literally cluttered with advertising leaflets, so we turned them into something more appealing.
With the help of the round cover, we draw circles around nice photos:
We also used one of our old workbooks, with popular cartoon characters:
After it, we made small cones and attached them to each other:
About halfway over, we've inserted a decorative ribbon (I forgot to take photos of this step) and so, cone after cone, we created this beautiful ornament, which really reminds me of those old-fashioned Christmas tree ornaments:
However, we didn't set our tree on the floor, it was on the shelf again, just to be on the safe side. We used these paper ornaments as decorations all over the house, since we made a whole bunch of them.
What kind of ornaments you had this year? I'd like to see the photos of your tree and Christmas decorations!
I wish you all a pleasant and a peaceful holiday season with lots of crafts and play!
