Here’s How to Have a DIY Christmas This Year

Christmas crafting is fun for the whole family and a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. Start with some DIY Christmas decorations like wood snowmen and Christmas trees.

A Christmas centrepiece will make your table more festive, and an Advent calendar will keep your kids counting down the days. You can also easily convert simple cushions into Christmas pillows, and turn cups into personalized Christmas mugs. Christmas baking is a must at this time of year, so why not make your own dough bowl? Christmas cookies can be laid out on a DIY serving block, and salt dough ornaments can be strung on the mantle.

You can also make some great DIY Christmas gifts. As with DIY Christmas ornaments, all you need is some paint, fasteners, a few basic tools and craft supplies. Tic-tac-toe is fun for the little ones, and a customized jigsaw puzzle offers hours of entertainment on Christmas morning. You can even make a puzzle board to contain all the pieces. A blanket ladder can hold cozy Christmas throws, and later be used in the bathroom for towels.
