3 DIY Christmas ornaments and decorations

Crafting your own Christmas ornaments and decorations adds a personal touch to your home decor and brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to the festivities. Here are three easy DIY Christmas decorations you can make with your family.

1. Hand-painted wooden ornaments. Gather some wooden craft ornaments, acrylic paints and brushes and let your creativity run wild. Paint festive designs like snowflakes, holly, reindeer or Santa Claus. Personalize them with your family members’ names for an extra special touch.

2. Festive Mason jar lanterns. Coat the exterior of simple Mason jars with a layer of glue, then sprinkle glitter all over to create a magical snowy effect. Place a small LED candle or string lights inside each jar to emit a warm, twinkling glow from your mantle, dining table or any cozy nook in your home.

3. Felted snowflake garland. Cut snowflake shapes from white and light blue felt and stitch them together with a needle and thread. Add a touch of sparkle with silver beads or sequins. Hang the garland along banisters, walls or above doorways to add a festive vibe to your home.
