As much as we try to get ready for Christmas every year, chances are you’ll be waiting until the last minute just like everyone else. It’s hard enough saving money for Christmas without having to splurge on overpriced decorations at the home supply store. Luckily, there are lots of easy and quick ideas for holiday decor that can be made at home. These last minute ideas use materials that are affordable and easy to get, you may have some of them lying around the house. Don’t be afraid to get creative this year and show off what you can make with your own hands.
Pine cones are a great material for Christmas DIY projects and can be easily scavenged if you have pine trees in your area. They can be used to make all kinds of decorations, from christmas tree ornaments to miniature snow-covered trees. Stockings are a great place to get creative and come up with new ideas that have never been seen before. Try to find substitutes for the plain old sock and think of unique ways of hanging them by the fireplace. A christmas tree doesn’t have to necessarily be a tree. The shape and symbol of a Christmas tree can be recreated in the abstract. Origami is an art of folding paper and is great for making ornaments.
