The holidays are a great excuse to exercise your creativity and try out a few new DIYs. And let’s be honest, most of us are on the hunt for fun, safe, and socially distant activities anyways! These DIYs are basically a two-in-one: they’ll amp up the Holiday spirit in your home while providing an entertaining project.

Skip the typical tree and go for a minimalistic pine branch “tree” that hangs on a wall. You will not only save a ton of space, but also still be able to display your favorite ornaments and enjoy that fresh pine greenery and smell.

Create fully customizable ornaments from home, using salt dough and cookie cutters. These clay-like ornaments allow you to play around with various shapes and textures. Go a step further by adding a splash of acrylic paint after they’ve dried. 

This creative take on a wreath can help make the Holidays a bit more whimsical. The poms add a stylish and cozy texture, contrasting nicely with the shiny, classic bulbs. 

Create a shimmery golden garland to decorate your fireplace or tree. This project requires just a few supplies, including twine, pine cones, gold leaf, and hooks.

Felt trees adhered to a stick and wooden base are the perfect statement to adorn a Holiday dinner table or serve as a coffee table centerpiece. 

You may already have the materials to create this cheery wreath. Simply fasten ornaments to a wire hanger (bent in a circle), and optionally accent it with a bit of garland.
