Looking to add a personal touch to your Christmas decorations this year? Handmade decorations are the perfect way to sprinkle some festive magic around your home and they’re easier to make than you think!
Whether you're crafting with the kids or flying solo with glitter and glue, The Works has everything you need to turn your DIY dreams into dazzling reality. From baubles to garlands, let’s make this season sparkle with creativity!
Top Tips For Making Your Own Christmas Decorations
Sleigh Embellishments
Embellishments such as ribbons, bows, and bells can make all the difference when it comes to transforming a dull decoration! The Works has a range of fabulously festive extras and add-ons that can spruce up your Christmas tree. Add a chirpy chime with coloured jingle bells, get all wrapped up with red ribbon or give your tree a touch of Lapland magic with wooden craft embellishments.
Walkin’ in a Paper Wonderland…
Paper is quite literally a blank canvas for your imagination, so it’s a great place to start with your DIY decorations. Grab your glue sticks and scissors to create a one-of-a-kind decoration using the decoupage technique. Or experiment with pleasing paper kits like the Christmas design pad to create Nativity style characters, baubles, or even tree-topping stars!
Colour, Actually
Christmas is no time to be shy, so take this time to be merry and bright with your decorations. Whether you want to stick with traditional shades of red, green, gold and silver, or venture out into unconventional hot pink, turquoise, and violet - you can mix and match your colours to create eye-catching tree decorations that no other home will have! Get your hands on the metallic paint set or a glitter glue set to make a start on your cheerfully colourful (and sparkly!) Christmas.
Knit Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Baby it’s cold outside…so why not stay in and knit or stitch some DIY decorations? Whether you decide that this is the year you conquer crochet (try one of our Christmas craft kits), or you want to make a start with a Christmas tree embroidery hoop kit – why not stitch cute crafts by hand and hang them on your tree, frame on your mantelpiece, or even use as gift wrapping accessories!
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…Upcycling
There’s no need to splash out on new decorations for the tree every year. If you love to change up your tree theme, upcycling your existing decorations with new colours and embellishments is the perfect way to get a fresh festive look.
A new coat of paint and some glitter can brighten up baubles, or why not try adding some Christmas foliage to a character scene for a new look? Liven up tinsel by weaving in mini additions like these holly leaves embellishments or even add a length of gold mesh ribbon – it’s the little touches that make all the difference!
