These Everyday Home Items
Can Double As 🎀 Christmas Decor
When in search of DIY Christmas decor, we always seem to find ourselves just a little
bit short on time. With the holidays close by and budgets that keep
getting tighter, it's time to make stellar decorations out of what's
already in our homes.
It's true -- every Christmas decoration you need is already. in. your. house. Rejoice!
We've compiled a Pinterest board
of our favorite DIY decoration projects, which use around-the-house
standbys from cake stands to serving trays to even your own front door.
With a sprinkle of holiday magic, the items you already have can easily double as the only decorations you'll ever need.
THE
CHANDELIER:
Hang mismatched ornaments from your chandelier with both
wide and skinny ribbons to achieve a look that's whimsically festive. Or
wrap the chandelier with leafy garlands... or do both!
TALL
JARS & VASES:
Martha Stewart's signature holiday project involves
dusting tall, glass apothecary jars with a layer of salt or faux snow,
then arranging ornaments or tiny figurines inside. It's a
design-your-own, grown-up snow globe, if you will.
SERVING
TRAYS:
Spruce up your appetizer platter (literally) with
festive-looking ferns, glowing candles, branches or glittery accents.
The more trinkets, the merrier!
YOUR
FRONT DOOR:
Turn your regular entryway into one big gift. Wrap it with
an oversized bow to welcome guests, or do the same with a living room
door to make the Christmas morning reveal more special than ever.
YOUR
MANTLE:
Chunky statement candles, a DIY wreath, an evergreen garland or
a string of pennant letters will turn your regular fireplace into the
centerpiece that Christmas-ifies an entire room. Just add stockings!
RECYCLED
WINE BOTTLES:
Empty your recycling bin, and add a pretty coat of paint
to empty wine bottles to make a set of brand-new vases. Draw letters to
spread messages of holiday cheer, and arrange twigs or holly inside
