7 homemade holiday décor ideas
Deck your halls with easy projects your whole family can do
-
Tabletop Tannenbaum
Plant tiny fresh green trees – these are lemon cypress – in tin pails and adorn the bases with classic red and green ornaments.
-
Heartfelt hangers
Trace cookie cutter shapes on felt and cut out. Decorate with mini-pompoms, glitter glue and other decorations you have on hand.
-
Green giving
Cut old greeting cards into different shapes and sizes. Punch a hole and attach to gifts with a ribbon. Or buy blank tags and get stamping!
-
Bough’d over
Arrange fresh pine cuttings in a vase with water. Decorate with colourful Christmas Baubles for a festive look and fresh scent.
-
Bricks of love
Let kids make their own ornaments – tie toy building blocks together with a thin ribbon and hang from the tree.
-
Magnetized masterpieces
Cut out circles from cardboard and let your kids decorate them with drawings and stickers. Glue each to a wooden clothespin and attach a magnetic strip to the back for a crafty gift family and friends will adore.
-
Classy touch
Fill a variety of glass serveware with your favourite ornaments. Tie ribbons around the glass stems. Place on a mantel or coffee table for a very merry update.
