You could create 3 dimensional shapes like cubes, and pyramids using thread and straws.
To do a triangular pyramid, cut 6 equal lengths of straw. Put the thread through 3 pieces of the straw then through the first piece again - this should make the shape of a triangle. The other 3 straws can be connected to the triangle to make it into a pyramid. The ends of the thread can be used to hang the shape from the tree. If you're having trouble, consider if the straws were labelled with a, b, c, d, e, and f. Pass the thread through them in this order to create a pyramid: abcadecfd.
You can figure out other shapes and how many straws are needed for each one. If you use clear straws and sparkled or colorful thread you can make them look festive.

The regular polyhedrons can make interesting ornaments, and are relatively easy to make from card stock or file folders:
tetrahedron - 4 equilateral triangles
cube - 6 squares
octahedron - 8 equilateral triangles
dodecahedron (my favorite) - 12 regular pentagons
Icosahedron - 20 equilateral triangles
Then, you have all the cones & pyramids, prisms & cylinders, and parallelipipeds. All are relatively easy to make from ordinary materials, and there are an infinite variety of ways to decorate them.

I've seen many books at the library with patterns for orniments, most of them are for geometric shapes. You could also type in patterns for christmas orniments on the web and find many pages.

Cut out two triangles from gold cardboard. Stick them together an voila, you have a star. Triangles and stars are geometric shapes, are they not?

There are only 5 Platonic solids. The first two are easy to make, the others have lots of sides.
