50+ Best Holiday DIY Ideas

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year – and it’s not too far away!

Last year, I put together a whole series called “Homemade Christmas – Decor, Crafts, & Recipes for the Holiday Home”. This year, I’ve joined a  troop of over 50 bloggers to provide a TON of Christmas and holiday inspiration!

5 years ago, my friend Shirley helped organize a Holiday Blog Hop where various bloggers shared holiday ideas and tips. It has grown each year and now has over 50 participating!

How the Holiday Blog Hop Works

The Holiday Ideas Blog Hop officially begins on November 11th with the topic “Gift Guides”. Then, 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks more topics will be covered. Some of the bloggers are participating in all the topics, and others- like me – are doing just a few.

Scroll to the bottom to see the calendar of topics and dates they’ll be published. AND, check out the GIVEAWAY that’s happening, too!

But, for today, we want to give you a big boost of holiday idea inspiration. Below you will see a list of all the hosts participating in the blog hop – and some of their very best DIY holiday ideas.

Have fun meeting some of my new talented friends, and happy holidaying!
