Get creative this holiday season with these fun DIY decoration ideas that use things you probably already have:
Jar Lanterns:
Transform old mason jars into holiday lanterns by filling them with candles, fairy lights, or pinecones. Add a holiday touch by tying a ribbon or twine around the rim and add a small piece of evergreen or holly.
These lanterns make beautiful centerpieces or they look great on windowsills, too, to create a warm, inviting glow.
Paper Snowflakes:
Use printer paper or scrap paper to make snowflakes to hang in your windows or on walls. Get the family involved in cutting out different shapes and sizes to create a beautiful holiday scene.
You can also spray a light layer of glitter or add some paint to make them sparkle.
Garland from Nature:
Go outside and find some pine branches, berries, and then grab some twine to create a beautiful natural garland. String the branches and berries together using twine or fishing line, and drape it over your mantel, doorway, or staircase.
You can also add dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks for a nice holiday fragrance and look.
Ornament Display:
Use empty glass bottles or bowls and display old ornaments in them for a fun, decorative centerpiece. Arrange the ornaments by color to create a theme, or mix and match – it’s up to you!.
You can also add some greenery or fairy lights to make it more eye-catching.
Pinecone Wreath:
Gather pinecones from your yard or a nearby park to make a holiday wreath. Attach the pinecones to a wire frame or some sturdy cardboard cut into a circle (I mean who doesn’t have unlimited Amazon boxes laying around?!), using hot glue.
You can spray paint the pinecones in holiday colors like gold, silver, or white, or leave them natural for a classic look.
Add a bow at the top to finish it off.
Holiday Candle Holders:
Use empty tin cans or glass jars to make holiday-themed candle holders. Clean the containers thoroughly, then decorate them with paint, ribbons, or even wrap them in burlap.
Add a tealight or small candle inside, and use them on your holiday table or mantel.
