Christmas is coming! And before you know it, your house and streets will be full of beautiful decorations! While your collection might already be extensive, do you already have wood ones? Now you will!
There are literally a thousand ideas for you to craft DIY festive decor, but many of them are very similar, and some just require too much work, or too many tools. And what would be the fun in that? You probably want to make them with your kids too so the projects need to be accessible.
Thus, these 6 ideas are all you need!
“THE” Christmas tree
When we talk “Christmas”, it is hard not to associate this period with “Christmas tree” right?
With this very simple project, you will be able to decorate your front yard with the most iconic element of all! You can use pallets, or random pieces of wood as long as the tree shape is recognizable. And why not go all the way and paint it green? Add a couple of sparklings tinsels?
Wooden Snowmen
Regardless of whether you live in a snowy area or not, these very cute snowmen will elevate your decor with joy. Don’t they look so easy to make?
Ask kids to paint them the way they want, wrap their heads with waterproof wrapping paper, and there you go!
You can also put some inside on a hook and replace your usual frames for the holiday period!
Star Serving Tray
This is a little bit more complex to make but with the right tools, it won’t be that difficult either. Just check this tutorial and have a go!
Just imagine the pleasure to have something both useful and beautiful to present appetizers, cupcakes or biscuits to your guests!
Wood branches ornament
Christmas tree again, but to decorate…..your own real tree! Or your house, or anywhere you want really!
As you can see, there isn’t much need for a tutorial to craft those. However, they are a good excuse to hunt the woods for the right branches if you don’t have much around your house!
Oh Oh Oh
Santa is here! Well….sort of. But it is a great idea to turn random logs into the cutest element of Christmas decoration.
Of course, the required shape can be tricky for people without proper sawing equipment, but we all have a neighbour who could help with that part right?
Then your only job is to paint Santa Claus!
Here you go! You still have a few weeks to prepare your wood Christmas decor and get ready for the big man in red to visit your lovely homes! And in case of emergencies, you can always hit Amazon or a similar website for ready to paint decorations!
Wooden Stars
Did you like the twigs Christmas tree? You will love the star’s version! Once again, no tutorial is needed here.
As you can see, “easy” is the keyword! And of course, nothing stops you from joining several of them into a natural tinsel!
