DIY Christmas Decorating Ideas

Sharing is caring!

Welcome to the holiday home tour with DIY Christmas Decorating and more. The holiday season is my favorite time of year since I love to decorate, give gifts, feast on goodies, and share time with family and friends. However, this year we have been renovating our home, and most of our belongings are in storage, so I have been busy with DIY Christmas decorations, stockings, Christmas signs, throws, pillows, blanket ladder, and tree stands.

Welcome; if you are joining me from Sonya Burgess’ home, Sonya’s neutral Christmas decor is stunning; thank you for stopping by.

DIY Christmas Decor

I always ask myself this simple question. Why buy when you can DIY? So I decided to design our DIY Christmas decorations and set to work on them. You can see my DIY video about the ornament’s makeover HERE.

Inexpensive Holiday Decorating Ideas

I started with the dining room since it had already been renovated. By my request, my husband made a Christmas tree box for the tree stand. After setting up the tree, I purchased some inexpensive clear ornaments, and I gave them a makeover. Before I added the ornaments, I added ribbons to the tree.

Did I mention that my fireplace is under construction? Hence, we needed a place to hang the Christmas stockings I made.

Hubby to the rescue again. He built a rustic blanket ladder for the stockings that I can use all year. The wooden trees were also DIY Christmas decorations; you can see how we made them HERE.

These adorable embroidery hoop ornaments were so easy to make; you can see how I made them HERE.

Easy Christmas Crafts Decorating

The living room is another room that has been renovated, so it will have to be our main Christmas celebration room. Our “real” living room furniture is in storage, so decorating has been a challenge. The little tree that usually stands next to the fireplace will have to do since our big tree is too tall for this room. To the rescue again, Hubby repainted the Christmas tree stand (sleigh) to match our new DIY Christmas decorations.

Some of my favorite Christmas craft projects in this are the signs. The photo below measures 50″ by 30,” Yes, the hubby cut the wood and made the frame. My daughter, Olivia, made the design, and it was hand-painted with chalk paint. The loopy yard wreath I made in an earlier post see it here.

Handmade Christmas Stockings

Another one of my DIY Christmas decorating ideas was to make some new stockings, so I choose the same light gray fabric that I used on the pillows I made and white faux fur (see how I made them here) to coordinate with the decor in the room. The easy DIY blanket ladder how-to you can find HERE.

The stockings were made with the same gray fabric I used on the pillows’ backs with the snowflakes and Get Cozy. I wanted to make pillows from winter colors so they could stay out all winter.

Handmade Ornaments – DIY Christmas Decorating

Nordic Christmas ornaments are so pretty, so I made my felt ornaments in that style see how here. The embroidery hoop ornaments I made in a rustic farmhouse style.

The handmade felt Christmas ornaments I made last year can see how HERE in this earlier post. You can gather your family and friends and DIY some Christmas decorations while sipping hot cocoa.

We serve a ton of goodies during the holidays, and the coffee table is our main serving spot during Christmas movie watching and visiting with friends.

Another fun Christmas craft DIY project is an Advent Calendar.
