1. Cranberry Garland
For a rustic pop of festive red, you can’t go wrong with a classic cranberry garland. It’s easy to make, affordable, and perfect for adding a handmade touch to your lifelike Christmas tree. Gather some string, cranberries, and your favorite holiday tunes — this is an activity best paired with hot cocoa and holiday cheer.
2. Popcorn Garland
A popcorn garland is another DIY favorite for rustic, vintage charm. The soft white and yellow tones add a cozy glow to your tree. Just remember to keep it out of reach if you have curious pets!
3. Tree Stump Ornaments
Turn your winter walk or backyard into a treasure trove of creativity with tree stump ornaments. Small wood slices can be painted, decorated, or written on to commemorate the year. Whether it’s a snowy design, a festive message, or a snowman creation, these ornaments will become keepsakes that grow more meaningful with each passing Christmas.
4. Pinecone Ornaments
Nature’s perfect little treasures, pinecones are versatile and timeless. Bake them at 200°F for 30 minutes to remove any hidden surprises, then let your creativity shine. Paint them with metallic gold or silver for a modern look, or keep it traditional with red and green accents. Add ribbon or berries, and your pinecones are ready to grace your tree or holiday centerpiece.
