Easy Christmas Crafts To Make
When it comes to making homemade Christmas decorations, I have four essential items that I like to make each year. I find them to be the easiest things to make for Christmas and I always know I have a spot for them in my Christmas decor.
DIY Christmas Garland
I like to make a new garland each year and I end up mixing a few garlands to create a festive look. My favorite supplies to make garlands with are paper, yarn, and felt.
Garlands aren’t just for a mantel, you can drape them across a hutch, a mirror or over a picture.
Homemade Christmas Ornaments
I like to add a few new homemade ornaments for Christmas each year. Some of my favorites are decoupaging on wood ornaments, making soft crafts with yarn, and making ornaments with paper or book pages.
Making a Christmas Wreath
I have so many places to hang a wreath so I’m always making something new. I have wreaths on my front door, on my shed doors, and also in our living room. Sometimes I even put one on a plate stand on my floating shelves. There are lots of places to hang a wreath that you make.
Gnomes
I love to make a new Christmas gnome or two. I especially like to make sock gnomes but I also make a lot of gnome ornaments as well.
I hope this list has inspired you to create something special for your home this holiday season.
Happy crafting,
Denise
