40 DIY Holiday Decorations To Transform The Home Into A Winter Wonderland
Christmas is the type of holiday that can sneak up on you, no matter what time of year it is, so it's always best to be prepared with a little DIY magic. Whether you're honoring old traditions or adding a new spin to the yuletide cheer, these homemade decorations will help you celebrate in style — and save you enough money to buy a boatload of presents!
40. Bundt pan doorbells
Got any spare Bundt pans in the kitchen? Well, why not give this a go? To start, load each pan on top of the other until they start to resemble a bell, gluing them in place. Then, stick a tiny bauble in the opening of the base. Add a bit of ribbon to tie them to your door, and there you have it! Makeshift doorbells that are perfect for the festive season.
39. Gift bow wreath
Nothing tops off a present quite like a bow. But what do you do with them after the gifts are opened? Instead of chucking them in a bag for next year, this crafty hack might be worth a try. Yes, why not assemble the bows in the shape of a wreath, ready to hang outside for the holidays? It’ll look just as nice as some of the more costly decorations at the store — if not nicer!
38. Bottle cap ornament
Who knew bottle caps would make for awesome Christmas ornaments? There are many approaches you can take, but YouTuber Ali Clifford showed how you can glue a bunch of caps into festive snowflake shapes. The colors really pop! Alternatively, you can shape the caps into letters to spell out some holiday words and phrases on your tree.
37. Holiday shakers
If you want your salt and pepper containers to match the festive feel inside your home, listen up. This simple trick will do just that. All you need are some small Christmas toys or ornaments. Then, simply place each item into the individual shakers. The ones in the salt will look particularly good, as the condiment resembles snow.
