Merry Christmas Food Tube! I'm Charlie from Jamie's Food Team.
Here are my top 3 thrifty decorating tips. Popcorn tinsel, easy, fun and cheap. So, bowl,
caster sugar, mixed spice. Just mix it up. Popcorn, popped. Give that a good cover up.
I'm going to make my tinsel a little bit more colourful with some dried cranberries, now
I'm going to thread it. It doesn't have to be perfect, do any pattern you want. You can
do long ones, do short ones. So there we go. Popcorn cranberry tinsel have a go!
My favourite decorating tip is dried fruit, put your oven on. Start slicing! You could
probably dry out most fruits using this method. If you don't have a non stick baking tray
then use some baking parchment. Then place your fruit just straight on. Just pop them
in the oven for 2-3 hours, 100 degrees centigrade, 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Look how beautiful they are! Ribbon, just poke them through. Tie a knot. This is so
easy, so easy and really, really nice. So just hang that on the tree. I think they look
prettier than baubles. Or you could go to do garlands and rather than hanging them
on your tree you can hang them on your fireplace, on your bannisters just around pictures or
mirrors. Really, really pretty. Why not make your own napkin rings? I'm going
to use just these little chillies, couple of rosemary sprigs, just get a little bit
of thread and you're just tying them together. Find a lovely piece of ribbon, tie your string,
just a couple of knots. So there you go. Just need to attach it to my napkin. Tie it
round, really colourful napkin holders, you can use anything. Go outside, find some ivy,
some holly. Anything you like. If you've got some tips then please leave them in the comments
