It doesn’t matter which part of it is your favourite, Christmas is a magical time of year. From the excitement of the festive markets to the time spent with loved ones – and obviously the joys of Christmas Day – there is so much to get excited about throughout the festive period. Without doubt, however, decorating your home is one of the most magical aspects. The act itself of putting the decorations up is a festive ritual, whilst you’re then met with the festive spirit every time you step back through the door.Whilst Christmas decorations are charming, homemade additions are a fantastic way to add your own character to the festive décor. Whether you get crafty yourself or as a family, there are plenty of creative ideas that can be really effective. Here are some of our favourite Christmas crafts that will add some homemade sparkle to your home this year.
The wreath on the front door is a symbol that Christmas is finally here! With the greenery and the wintry floral accents, they’re a beautiful addition to any home. Both fresh and synthetic wreaths are gorgeous door dressing – but you’ll see countless very similar examples on a walk through your own neighbourhood! Adding some homemade charm to proceedings, the idea of making your own felt wreath is a really exciting one. The process may take a little while, but with a little care and attention to detail, you can have a gorgeous door ornament that will not only last forever, but it exudes wintry charm. You could even work candy canes into your design, providing a sweet treat for festive visitors.
Mason jars are a very useful thing to have – that’s why so many people keep them! But by turning them into decorative festive sweet jars, you’ll finally have something to do with them! With some crafty decorating, you can turn your mason jars into beautiful Christmas ornaments that are filled with your favourite festive treats.There are so many ways to decorate your jars that you can be however inventive you like! With a strip of lace as a stencil and two colours of paint you can easily create lovely ornate jars that would work well with candy canes. For smaller treats, you may want to leave the jar itself clear and focus your attention on the lid. Our vote here would be to create mini Santa hats or reindeer antlers!The beauty of mason jars, however, is that you don’t even need to decorate them to make your sweets look classy. You could simply fill them with sweets and chocolates that match the colours of your decorations and they’ll look amazing!
If you’ve got younger kids, then this one’s for them! With empty carboard tubes, some coloured paper and some googly eyes, they can make a whole crew of Christmas characters. This cost effective activity is a fun activity that you can enjoy as a family, whilst also creating some adorable decorations for your home! All of the cardboard figures are versatile and can be displayed where ever you want – even on top of the tree!
If you are looking for the most adorable homemade decorations, then we’d suggest making no-sew snowmen. These festive fellows are really simple to make and can easily be made with things you’re likely to have around the home. When you see the finished product, you won’t believe that it started with filling a sock with rice! Once you’ve got the basic structure of the snowman, you can customise them however you like. Whether you’d prefer to make a carrot nose with coloured paper, use tinsel as a scarf or even add twiggy arms, the more unique your snowman is the better. Once you’ve made them they can go anywhere you like! They’ll look adorable sat by the fireplace or on a window sill, whilst they’re also a charming way to decorate bedrooms. Because they’re full of rice, they’re heavy enough to work as a doorstop, too.
This incredibly easy craft is one that adds rustic appeal to any room! Obviously, you’ll need to collect some pinecones, and it’s best to make sure they’re all dried out before you decorate them. Once you’ve done this it’s time to turn them into mini Christmas trees!There are several ways you can go about this, and which route you choose depends on what style you’re going for. To replicate a tree as closely as possible, you’ll need some green paint, pipe cleaners and something to replicate baubles – like colourful beads! The method is really as simple as you’d expect – paint your tree green, let it dry and then dress it however you like. Before adding your tinsel and baubles, flicking specs of white paint on top of the green adds a lovely snowy effect. For a more natural finish, you can leave out the green paint and just add a few minimalist garnishes. Hopefully you’ve been inspired and are eager to have some fun and make Christmas decorations! Once your decorations are up, your attention may well turn to the festive treats that make Christmas so special – and you’ll find them all here at Wholesale Sweets. From stocking fillers like selection boxes, to advent calendars, big tubs of sweets and even festive pick n mix, you’ll find your Christmas sweets here at great wholesale value!
