Did you know... During the Victorian times (mid to late
1800's) decorations on a tree were a variety of handmade crafts. Young
ladies spent hours making Christmas crafts, quilling snowflakes,
hearts, and stars, sewing little pouches to hide secret gifts inside,
making paper crafts, candy crafts, mini quilts, and tussie muffies (A
tussie muffie is a ladies Victorian cloth hankie or lace type of paper
wrapped like a cone and filled with flowers.) Small bead decorations
were made and added to the tree. Usually an angel was placed at the
top of the tree. Candles were placed at the ends of the branches and
sometimes found in wooden hoops for safety. By the late 1860's small
toys were hung on a tree. |
