To make this decoration, you’ll need:

Be creative about how you arrange your swag to make it truly your own.

2. Cranberry Garland

Here’s a fun and simple Christmas decoration that you can make in an afternoon and enjoy on your tree all season long.

You’ll need just a few supplies to bring this idea to life:

4. Anthropologie-Inspired Village Wreath

This is one of those DIY Christmas decorations that look anything but handmade. And in our opinion, this Anthropologie village wreath dupe is cuter than the real thing.

DIY wreaths are super simple and one of the easiest projects you can tackle this holiday season.

First, you’ll need to find some wooden village houses that are small enough to attach to your wreath. Grab some bottle brush trees, and use floral wire and hot glue to start building your wreath village.

To finish things off, use paint and a simple brush to flock your wreath and make it match your village.

5. Mini Clay Star Garland

Here’s a fun decoration project for the whole family. This mini star clay garland will look gorgeous on your tree and complement any aesthetic you’re going for this holiday season.

You only need a handful of things to make the clay base, and you probably have them in your kitchen already: cornstarch, baking soda and water.

Mini star cookie cutters will help you get that perfect star shape for your garland. All that’s left to do is grab a needle and twine to start stringing your garland.

This pinecone centerpiece is super easy to make and a unique piece of décor that you’ll love displaying in your home for the holidays.

Best of all, this project is easy to put together and make your own. Here’s what you’ll need:

10. Pom Pom Wreath

Pom poms are perfect for simple DIY Christmas decorations. You’ll need to glue them together into a circle to make a wreath or affix them to a wire wreath if you like. Add in cute decorations, such as small Christmas trees (color them for fun) and other ornaments.

11. Hanging Wreath Branch

Don’t you just love the look of this hanging wreath? You’ll be able to use any wreath that you have, but you’ll hang it with some ribbon. For the branch, go outside and find one that will fit snugly between your windows.

You’ll need a saw to cut the edges so that they’re smooth and don’t damage your walls.

12. Dried Orange Wreath

A dried orange wreath is not something most people ever think about, but it’s a great-smelling addition to your home this year. You’ll need to start with the wreath, but then you’ll need to dehydrate the oranges, which will require:

  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack
  • Paper towels

You can use pins to attach the oranges to the wreath.

13. DIY Pallet Christmas Tree Signs

What a beautiful Christmas tree sign. And it’s very easy to make. You’ll need some scrap wood or a wood pallet sign. Next, you can add black cardboard paper to add a tree and then use chalk to draw on quotes or other decorative designs.

14. Mini Christmas Tree Succulents

If you have chicken wire, pins, a chopstick, moss and succulents, you can create this decoration. You’ll use some of the succulent leaves to create your own tree and can add decorations just like you would your Christmas tree.

Put a small star on the top of the tree to finish it off.

15. DIY Christmas House Village

Christmas house villages are a personal favorite of ours. You’ll need white foam board, Sharpie and a lot of artistic skill. You’ll draw the house exterior on the foam board, and how do you keep it together? Low tack tape or glue.

If you want to add greenery to the home, such as a wreath, you can use dollhouse wreaths or easily make your own with small pine tree branches.

16. Porch Light Decoration

DIY Christmas decorations look amazing in the right lighting – especially porch lighting. You can make this project with just a few items, including:

And you can add your own ornaments and ribbons to make the decoration look more ornate.

17. Snowflake Wreath

Wreaths are expensive, so why not make your own? You can purchase most of these items at the Dollar Store, but you can also get them from Amazon. You’ll need snowflakes, a hot glue gun, and a wreath frame. You can add ribbons or other ornaments if you like.

Go crazy and make these wreathes your own. Add garland, snowmen or anything else you want to it.

18. Felt Christmas Trees

Felt Christmas trees are a ton of fun to make because you can choose any color you like green, red, white – whichever matches your décor. You’ll need quite a few pieces to make these:

Of course, you’ll need a pair of scissors and any decorations that you want to add to the trees.

19. Christmas Cactus

If you have some extra garland that you’re not using, planter pots and some decorations, you can easily make these Christmas cactuses. You’ll need some PVC piping and elbows to make your cactus, but it’s well worth the effort.

Add some rocks into the pots to keep the cactus in place.

And then, you can add any decorations and ornaments that you like, such as Christmas lights or balls, to the garland.

20. DIY Christmas Village

DIY Christmas decorations from scrap wood? Yup! If you have some scrap wood hanging around or wooden shelving that you no longer use, you can make your own little village. You’ll need to be handy with wood and will need quite a few woodworking tools, such as:

  • Drill
  • Sander
  • Jig and miter saw

You’ll need some plywood, wood glue, putty, clamps and a few other items, but this decoration is 100% worth the effort.

21. Christmas in a Jar

Christmas in a jar is the best way to describe these small village homes. You’ll need glass cookie jars with lids, fake snow and mini trees. You can be as creative as you like with the trees, and if you need to trim your tree, you can even use the branches as a mini tree.

Sprinkle some fake snow on top and then add little figurines, such as reindeer or make little houses out of Styrofoam and markers.

22. Festive Front Porch Decorations

If you have a front porch that needs a little sprucing up, these mini pine trees with Christmas lights on them are a great choice. You’ll be able to make them in minutes. All you’ll need are:
