This holiday season is the perfect time to let your creativity shine through Christmas crafting. For crafting enthusiasts and DIY aficionados, the weeks leading up to the festive day are an exciting whirlwind of creativity, but it can sometimes get a bit hectic. That’s why we’re offering you some of our own festive and delightful DIY projects and ideas to help you get your creative brain juices flowing early.
We’ve broken it down into the three most important décor displays for you to focus on. Let’s explore some of these exciting ideas!
Deck Your Doorway
Set the stage to your Christmas home with a decorated doorway that reflects the exciting moments that await inside. One of the most iconic ways to adorn your home is by crafting beautiful wreaths for the doorway. Wreaths are a timeless symbol of celebration, and creating your own gives a personal touch to your holiday décor.
The best way to start your Christmas decorating is by choosing your desired theme. Whether you want your home to be traditionally styled, reminiscent of a winter wonderland with blues, whites, and silvers, a simpler and more elegant look with golds and green, or anything else your mind leads you to!
So, once you’ve chosen your theme, the perfect way to start your wreath-making magic is by picking a wreath base. Our Majestic Pine Christmas Wreath is an example of the perfect starting base for absolutely any theme and idea. If you’re looking more for an effortless look, we’d recommend starting with our Gold Metal Hoop Wreath Base.
Next, you’re going to want to start choosing what your feature piece is going to be. Decomesh looped into a ribbon, large flower clips, tree decorations, or a sign are just some of the interesting ways you can make them go “wow”.
Take our Glitter ‘Merry Christmas’ Plaque, for example, which you can place in the middle of the wreath, surrounded by complimentary berry picks for added texture, and different-sized bows and florals. It’s important to select complementary colours, combinations, and textures that won’t overpower your chosen focal point.
Crown Your Christmas Tree
The Christmas tree is the heart of your holiday decorating, and it’s where so many cherished memories are made. Topping it with a unique and festive tree topper is a great way to make a statement. By crafting your own, it’s an easy way to match your home theme or show your family’s personality.
The perfect way to begin your Christmas Tree Topper decorating is by choosing your focal point. Whether it’s a star, angel, or snowman, you want to make sure it’s the element that makes your tree stand out!
We recommend using one of our Tree Topper Bow with Streamers. It’s a unique way to add texture and movement and is perfect for adding complimentary berry picks, feather sprays, flower clips, and more.

Adorn Your Christmas Table
Make your Christmas table a feast for the eyes! A gorgeously styled Christmas table can certainly be a feature piece in your Christmas decorating. By incorporating your DIY projects on your table centrepiece, you can easily showcase your creativity and elevate your festive ambiance for your guests.
There are zero limits to what you can do with your table centrepiece. We love using a hollow base to fill stunning ornaments in! Try a wooden sleigh or a suitcase gift box as shown below. Fill with tabletop trees, figurines, and ornaments for a scene-like centrepiece. Or fill it with faux floral clips and leaf picks for a stunning floral arrangement.
Christmas crafting is not just about creating beautiful decorations. It’s a wonderful chance to get the family and friends together to watch as everyone’s creativity unfolds. There are endless opportunities for imagination to run and shared traditions to be made. Trust us when we say, it’s a lot of fun!
So, roll up those sleeves, grab those crafting supplies and make this December one to remember. Happy crafting!
