18 DIY holiday decorating projects for that homemade feel
Ideas for trimming the tree, styling a stellar dinner party tablescape, making wintry wreaths and more
Homemade decorations, no matter how imperfect, can have the loveliest effect when you're decking your halls. We're drawn to all the glittery, quirky, cosy pieces that have lots of personality.
We've curated a collection of our festive DIY projects from recent years. Below you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for making ornaments, stockings, wreaths, bundles of winter greenery and much more. Some projects come together quickly, and are perfect for when you only have a few spare moments, while others are great for tackling on a blustery day when you've got more time to indulge in the holiday vibes.
We've also included clever ideas to transform everyday grocery store items into adorable decorations. Plus, if you're planning to host a dinner party, our stunning styling ideas for tablescapes will wow your guests. So plug in your glue guns, turn on your favourite holiday movie (perhaps one that will inspire your decorating) and enjoy an evening of crafting.
