Now that the holiday season is in full swing, you are now free to channel a festive spirit into your home by breaking out some awesome Christmas decorations! But instead of the run-of-the-mill décor you’ll find in stores, consider making your own Christmas ornaments to make things even more charming and jovial. Besides, now that you have some time off from school to enjoy the holidays, you’ll certainly have fun creating these delightful pieces and impress your family members the minute you put them up for display. That being said, here are some cool suggestions for you to try.
Holiday Felt Ball Wreath
Using colorful balls of felt plus some helpful directions by the folks at Wonder How To, you can create a stunning and vivid wreath that’s sure to be a lively conversation piece once you hang it on your wall for Christmas.
Pastel-Colored Pasta Christmas Trees
Pasta is not just a versatile food ingredient, but it’s also a great alternative for DIY decorations, especially when you use the varieties with eccentric shapes! You'll surely be proud of yourself once you create these fantastic pieces by Mod + Mint.

Go beyond the usual holiday palette of gold, green, white, and red and make your Christmas more colorful with lovely watercolor cards (like the ones above made by Eat Drink Chic) to accent those wrapped presents.
