21 Handmade Holiday Crafts
One of the things I love about the Holiday season is that everyone gets into decorating and being creative. These 21 Handmade Holiday Craft Ideas make great DIY gifts or decorate your home with them!
If you’re not really into crafts and you don’t attempt to make things throughout the year, often people get in the Christmas spirit and try to make a cute Christmas craft.
Everyone is inspired to make something…even if it’s Christmas cookies.
Here are some great ideas whether you are crafty or not!
Handmade Holiday Crafts
Want a craft the whole family can do together? These wood slice snowmen are perfect! Get all the supplies out and let the creativity run! Make your own snowmen
Repurpose that old sweater you no longer wear into an adorable gift! See how we created our own wine bottle gift bags from old sweaters!
Another great repurposing craft, these DIY ice lanterns are actually made by freezing water in plastic bottles!
The little tree kits are an adorable way to have Christmas cheer at a desk or other smaller area!
Use yarn or old fabric scraps to create a scarf to wrap around your new holiday buddy! Use old wood pieces, paint them white, and add facial features to your snowman!
Doing an ornament exchange and need something creative? Use scraps of fabric, ribbon, and even pipe cleaners to create these one of a kind ornaments right at home!
Check your local dollar stores for washi tape! You can add washi tape to solid white cardstock and create unique holiday cards!
You can re-use old mason jars to create holiday decor and gifts! You'll need paint and brown paper!
DIY Chalkboard Polka Dot Christmas Countdown Sign {from an old cabinet door}
Don't scrap those old cabinet doors! Repaint them and use them as a holiday countdown!
Use scrap yarn to make yarn trees! If you have a foam cone you can use that to wrap the yarn around. If you don't have a foam cone you can gently stack the yarn around on top of itself.
Take nature and add a festive touch with lace hoops so you can use them as ornaments or decor!
Have paint sticks or smaller pieces of wood laying around? Form them into small squares and wrap them with greenery.
Take that old sweater or buy ones from your local thrift store and turn them into unique stockings!
Everyone loves advent calendars! Now you can use Christmas ornaments to create your own!
You can create your own Christmas arrangement by adding what you already have!
Start a new tradition by making your advent calendar! Make it into a banner and you can use it as holiday decor too!
You can add your own holiday touch to pillows! Take solid-colored pillows and add seasonal elements like Christmas trees, ornaments, and more in paint OR use heat transfer vinyl.
You only need clear ornaments, glitter, a liquid adhesive, and your vinyl design!
Have any old plaid shirts that don't fit anymore? You can turn them into fun holiday Christmas trees!
Even if you have broken jars, you can still use the lids! Wrap twine around the lid and then add ribbon for embellishment.
Gnomes are beyond popular for every season! You can combine just a few supplies and create these adorable little guys as gifts or home decor for your own home!
