Winter is upon us, which means it’s the perfect time to cozy up indoors and make some holiday crafts! Whether you’re making holiday decor or gifts for friends and family, there are some excellent DIY projects you can start working on between now and Christmas! They’re quick, easy, and people will love them.
Counting down to the holidays is always fun this time of year. Make it a visual treat, as well! Advent calendars are an old tradition that can be made in a variety of clever and visually-pleasing ways. Try creating an entire small village of advent houses with treasures hiding within! Another idea is to craft a hanging paper advent calendar from your mantel. For a more rustic look, try creating a burlap wall hanging with pockets for different treats! For those that celebrate Hanukkah, consider doing the hanging present advent calendar for a fun way to display presents near the menorah!
Now’s also the perfect time to make gifts for the people you care about most! A smart move is to sit down and make multiples of these gifts to maximize your time and money. Charming teacup candles are perfectly elegant gifts that are simple to make and look lovely. You can also wrap up flower bulbs in high-end paper for a gift that neighbors will love! If hand-made crafts aren’t your thin then you can always give the gift of baked goods!
Ornaments, wreaths, and centerpieces are also great DIY projects for this time of year. Try making cookie cutter ornaments from clay, ornaments from cut felt, or some beautiful corrugated paper votives. You can even get creative with your wrapping paper by using potato stamps or by including printed photos wrapped up with the ribbon.
Get cozy around the fire, put some cookies in the oven, and enjoy a day of holiday crafting with all of these amazing DIY projects! For instructions, follow the link below!
