30 DIY Christmas Decor Ideas
It’s officially time to start decorating for Christmas! I am so excited to share with you my top 30 DIY Christmas decor ideas.
All of these DIY holiday decor ideas are easy and affordable to create.
I hope you enjoy these Christmas DIY ideas and they help inspire you to create your own festive holiday decor.
1. Christmas Card Holder
If you’re going to be receiving a lot of Christmas cards this year, you might want to have a designated spot to display them.
This Christmas card holder is so easy to make and looks so festive hanging on the wall.
You’ll need a piece of wood, some cup hooks, a drill, and a saw to make this Christmas card holder.
After the wood is cut to your desired size, drill pilot holes in the wood and then screw in the cup hooks.
Then, drill two holes in the top of the wood and thread a piece of ribbon through the holes.
This Christmas card holder is the perfect way to display all of the cards you receive this year.
2. DIY Christmas Decorations
If you’re looking to save money this holiday season, DIY Christmas decorations are an easy way to do it.
There are so many fun and festive ideas that you can make with just a few simple supplies.
We love the idea of filling a bowl or basket with DIY Christmas ornaments, or creating a garland with a mix of homemade decorations and store-bought ones.
Or, you could even make your own Christmas wreath or centerpiece for the table. The possibilities are endless!
3. DIY Christmas Tree
If you’re short on space, skip a traditional Christmas tree and make your own.
This one is made of a wooden dowel, craft rope, and a few Christmas lights at the top.
Pro tip: If you’re hanging this on a wall, use a level to make sure the dowel is straight.
4. DIY Christmas Wreath
No matter what your Christmas decor style is, a wreath is always a good idea.
You can make a wreath out of just about anything, and it’s a simple way to add a festive touch to any space.
This DIY wreath is made out of a $3 embroidery hoop and some faux greenery.
I added a few sprigs of eucalyptus, some pine, and a few white berries. I love the simplicity of the greenery and the pop of red from the berries.
You could also add a bow or a sign to the wreath if you want to add a little something extra.
5. DIY Christmas Centerpiece
A DIY centerpiece is a great way to add a little extra Christmas cheer to your table.
To make this one, start with a small wooden crate and fill it with floral foam.
Then, fill the foam with an assortment of fresh greenery and artificial stems.
Next, add pinecones, ornaments, and berries to give the centerpiece a festive touch.
Finally, finish off the look with a few taper candles.
6. DIY Christmas Ornaments
Christmas trees are the perfect place to get creative with your DIY Christmas decorations.
You can make a whole set of ornaments or just a few special ones to add to your collection.
We love the idea of using the same color scheme you have in the rest of your decorations, like this pretty white and gold look.
7. DIY Christmas Stockings
If you have a sewing machine and a little bit of fabric, you can make your own stockings.
There are plenty of free stocking patterns you can find online, and you can even make them out of old sweaters! You can also personalize them with your family’s initials or names with some iron-on letters.
8. DIY Christmas Garland
Take a break from the traditional green and red color scheme and try something new with your Christmas decor.
This DIY garland is made of eucalyjson branches, faux lamb’s ear, and a few sprigs of faux berries.
To get the look, start by cutting your eucalyptus branches into smaller sprigs.
Then, use a hot glue gun to attach the sprigs to a pre-made faux garland.
To finish, add in the lamb’s ear and berry sprigs, and voilà! You’ve got a stunning garland to display on your mantel, staircase, or anywhere else that needs a festive touch.
9. DIY Christmas Lights
DIY Christmas lights are a great way to add some holiday cheer to your home.
You can use them to decorate your tree, your mantel, your porch, or any other area that needs a little extra sparkle.
There are so many different ways to make your own Christmas lights, and you can use a variety of materials to create different looks.
We love these DIY Christmas lights made from ping pong balls, but you can also use paper lanterns, mason jars, or even plastic cups.
10. DIY Christmas Wall Decor
This Christmas wall decor is so simple and fun! You can create this with any word you would like to use.
You can make these with your last name, a Christmas word, or anything you can think of.
This is a great way to decorate a wall in your home. You can make it as big or as small as you would like.
I love the simplicity of the word joy and how it is surrounded by the ornaments.
