5 Impressive DIY Christmas Decorations To Try

By Gina Birch

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s prime time for putting up Christmas and other holiday decor. Sure you can buy pre-made items from just about any store. However, it can be fun and less expensive to make your own. Here are 5 impressive DIY Christmas decorations to try for the season and TikTok Tuesday.

Unfortunately, many Southwest Floridians are starting over when it comes to holiday decorations. I know people who lost all of them to hurricane damage from back-to-back storms this season. The good news about some of these ideas is that they don’t cost a fortune. They just take a little time and effort.

My social media feeds have started exploding with people showing off their creativity and decorating skills. Some I’ve seen before, however, I’m always trying to track down something different. Hopefully some of these ideas will at least inspire you to try some DIY Christmas decorations this year,

Making Christmas decorations is a great way to bond with friends and family while stocking the flames of creativity.

If the kids are home and need an activity to keep them out of trouble, put them to work on some of these. Better yet, do them as a family project. Time together is the best gift of all during the holiday season. Then together, you can appreciate the team effort to make your home look extra special and festive this year.

If you don’t have a TikTok account, don’t worry. I’ve made it easy by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. Some of the details are in the captions so you might have to click to see them in full. Turn up the volume as well for good advice and instructions.

Finally, share these videos with friends who also enjoy decorating and might be looking for something new to try.

    DIY giant set of string lights! Looking for an outdoor Christmas display that will make a huge impact? These oversized Christmas lights are it!!!!! 🤩🎄 I wouldn’t call this the cheapest DIY I’ve ever shared 😅 but here are the materials used if you decide to recreate! (I’ve also linked everything in my ltk in my bio) The original DIY comes from @hallmarkchannel Materials used: 8 6 ft adhesive foam piping Outdoor LED string lights (ONLY USE LED. THEY WILL NOT PRODUCE HARMFUL HEAT!) Small trash bin to make giant plug 1 piece of birch wood to make the base of plug 2 pieces of birch wood for the prongs Gold and black acrylic paint for the birch wood prongs (you can also cut circle holes in prongs, I just painted mine black) 12 empty 2 liter bottles to make the bulbs 12 6 oz deli cups to make the base of bulbs Heavy duty duct tape to attach pipes Spray paints for the string, plug and bulbs. I used Hunter green for the trash bin, pipes and deli cups. I used meadow green, red, blue, yellow and orange for the 2 liter bottles. Liquid nails to attach birch wood to trash bin. Glue gun to attach 2 liter bottles to deli cups Hot knife to cut holes in deli cups and 2 liter bottles (optional, you can also use an xacto knife)
