DIY Christmas tree
Bored of the same old Christmas tree and want something new this year? Then, this @macy.blackwell DIY tree is going to add some character to your decoration. All you need for this tree is a stool, some sticks, streamers, fairy lights and ornaments. Once you have the materials, you will only have to assemble them into a conical tree. You can adjust the height according to your space. Add some snow to the tree using white spray paint. Get a tutorial from the reel below.
Front door decor
Adorn your front door and give your guests a festive welcome. @callithome_decor has a simple and easy bow wrap idea to make your entrance look all Christmassy. This DIY decor makes your door look like a wrapped gift box. For this one, you will need a red-netted fabric and you can add some personal touch by pairing it up with some readymade wreath or mistletoe. To know more about it, check out the reel.
DIY snowman lampshade
Don’t you want a cute snowman to add the cuteness quotient to your home this festive season? @craftsform shows you how to make your own snowman lampshade from easily available materials at home. You can also add your creativity and tweak it to make a Santa Claus. This lampshade is a perfect showpiece to place it under the Christmas tree. If you have kids at home, you can get them working with you and enjoy some holiday family time.
White Christmas wreath
White Christmas is as pretty as the red-and-green one. Whites, along with shimmers of golden and silver, can add a great deal of sophistication to your decor. Crafter @shweta.craftland has come up with a pretty white wreath with some glow of the fairy lights. Go with a white Christmas theme and add more snowy touches to your home. You can add cotton to the Christmas tree for artificial snow, make snowflakes with paper and use your imagination to create your own winter wonderland.
Gingerbreadman garland
Need a sustainable decor idea? This gingerbreadman garland is easy to make and can be made using old cardboard boxes. Recycle your delivery boxes and turn them into this cute garland. Need a step-by-step guide? Learn it from @celynhafsings. It is a great holiday season activity for the kids. As you teach them about sustainability, they get to contribute to the Christmas decorations too.
Eco-friendly wall decor
Instead of buying decorations, it is always good to recycle and reuse. While you make your own decorations, you can also make them earth-friendly by incorporating eco-friendly materials like jute, paper etc. @angeeracreations, in a reel, shows how to make wall decor with materials like jute and wool. These are safe for the environment and also add a minimalist touch to your home. If you don’t like the bling, you can make these and add little lights to make it festive.
