Quick & Easy DIY Christmas Decorations You’ll Love to Make

These quick & easy DIY Christmas decorations will help your home look and feel festive!

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is Christmas decorations. They remind me of all the fun memories of years past and help brighten up the dark, cold days of Winter.

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed crafting up lots of DIY Christmas decorations for our home. 

You just might want to try some of them out, too!

DIY Christmas Decorations

DIY Christmas Tree

Christmas tree decorations are one of the most favorite of all Christmas traditions. Our boys used to love to help us decorate the tree every year. And, our trees have seen lots of different looks over the years!

White Christmas Tree decorations you can make yourself

star tree topper

This burlap & flour sack   DIY Christmas Tree Topper  was made the year our island house was bombarded with Winter storms and power outages. As I sat by our woodstove on those dark and dreary days, I pondered Christmas tree decorating ideas.  I eventually thought of Carolyn Ingalls and Little House on the Prairie. I felt a bond with her as I learned to cook over a fire!

This rustic Christmas decoration is made of leftover cardboard, a coffee sack and hot glue. It perched on the top of our Christmas trees many years.

Ruffle Garland with words

DIY Christmas Tree Garland can be as simple as gathering a torn piece of cotton fabric to make a ruffle! Before you get to the final scene of Christmas with the Kranks, you can have yards and yards of ruffle to weave around your tree like Christmas tree ribbon.

This Shabby Chic bird DIY Christmas ornament uses scrap fabrics, burlap, and vintage applique flowers. They were so fun to make. Not only can they hang from the tree, but they can be tied onto a Christmas present for a special handmade touch or even made into a mobile as a DIY Christmas gift idea for a new baby!

DIY Christmas Ball Ornaments

I call this Christmas craft the Winter Wonderland ornament. It’s one of those easy DIY Christmas ornaments for kids. All the supplies can be purchased at the Dollar store and kids can have so much fun creating their own snowy scened inside.

These DIY chalkboard ornaments have a secret. They just look like a chalkboard! They’re actually painted on so the “chalk” won’t rub off! They can be customized to say whatever you want. If you don’t want to dust off your power tools and cut out your own wooden Christmas ball ornament, you could use wood slices instead.

I guess I’m stretching it a bit to call these DIY wooden Christmas ornaments “quick & easy”. They were quick and easy for me to paint after my husband cut them out of wood!;) Click on over to this post on more handmade wooden ornaments to get some other painting ideas.

  1. Ah, these posts bring back memories of a perfectly lovely Christmas spent at Homewood last year in the company of some of my favourite people. 🙂 I think I may attempt the coffee filter tree this year, so thanks for reposting the instructions.
