Homemade Christmas ornaments are probably one of the favourites, as they just come out so beautifully and look so good with LED candles. Wooden lanterns filled with Christmas decorations will look nice on your front porch. Tiny tea candles stuffed into painted scraps of wood make nice, rustic Christmas candles.
Use a trio of garlands surrounded by two planters filled with faux Christmas trees and string lights to create a Christmas outdoor lighting setup. Make a simple, festive outdoor Christmas tree using three sticks and string lights to decorate your front lawn or yard. Small, miniature Christmas trees are some of the best things to decorate during the holidays.

Your fence posts nothing says classic holiday decor like fresh evergreens, and, quite surprisingly, they are actually pretty easy to make. Fairy lights are also a popular choice since they are battery-powered, can be set on timers, and work in so many different spaces: miniature Christmas trees strung in garlands or in the kitchen as well.
Paint a few snowflakes, and then place a few fairy lights around that Christmas canvas. Decorate a few additional pallets with snowflakes and other festive symbols, and then use them to hang up the family’s stockings.
You can use felt Christmas trees as decorations or in any other way that your decorating heart desires. Christmas garland can also be used to decorate outdoor lanterns, mailboxes, and decks.
Using vintage-style galvanised tin pots filled with conifer branches and lights is also a great way to create a rustic Christmas yard look.
With all of the above, don’t forget the power of some amazing food. Make a few gingerbread or sugar cookies shaped like a Christmas tree and stars to keep the excitement going.
Always remember that there are so many things that you’ll already have in your home that can help you with decorations. One thing to always keep in mind is that decorations will only look good when your entire home has a Christmasy feel. Bathrooms are also one of the most important rooms; therefore, make sure that everything is organised and make some room in your cabinets so that the guests can put their things there. If you have one bathroom shaving cabinet, then you can just take a few things out to create some space, or else you can look online for some of the best shaving cabinets to give your bathroom a fresh new look.
All in all, DIY Christmas decorations are quite easy; you just need to be a bit more creative with the things you have to create a space that brings the spirit of holidays to your home.
