1. Unusual Christmas balls

Bright handmade Christmas balls are simple and easy to make. Wrap an old Christmas ball, a used tennis ball, or any plastic ball with a square piece of colorful decorative fabric in colors that match your Christmas tree decorating. Use the rubber band to hold the fabric. Decorate handmade Christmas balls with ribbons, a small evergreen branch, and a bow, using the rubber band to hold them together. Beads and embroidery are wonderful for Christmas decorations, adding an elegant, chic touch to homemade decor and emphasizing the Christmas theme.

2. Christmas table centerpieces with candles

Ordinary candles transform into beautiful Christmas table decorations. Candles on a plate, decorated with a green Christmas wreath, make gorgeous Christmas table centerpieces. Wreaths made of evergreen branches bring a wonderful Christmas aroma to a room and are excellent Christmas table decorations that remain fresh and attractive for a long time.

3. Christmas craft ideas with Jingle bells

The tablecloth and table runner look beautiful, decorated with small jingle bells and Christmas-colored ribbons. Small jingle bells add playful flavor and festive atmosphere to Christmas decorating. Jingle bells are a festive accent that is easy to add to homemade Christmas decorations, curtains, window and door garlands, chandeliers, and door knobs.

4. Mittens

Old mittens or mittens, knitted for Christmas decorating, make gorgeous Christmas gifts and handmade Christmas decorations. You can decorate door knobs, walls, windows, dining chairs, curtains, and chandeliers with mittens, small pine branches and pine cones, ribbons and toys, beads and paper snowflakes, adding unique character to your home Christmas decor.

5. Furniture decoration

Pine cones are great for exterior and interior door decorating and creating lively handmade Christmas decorations for cabinet doors. Pine cones look gorgeous on walls, decorative pillows, throws, or a living room sofa skirt, and work well for curtain rods and tablecloth corners decoration.

6. Nuts, citrus fruits, berries

Glass vases, bowls, and jars with walnuts or chestnuts, wild rose or rowan tree berries, cranberries or holly tree berries, citrus fruits, and evergreens create stunning Christmas centerpieces that add a wonderful fresh aroma to Christmas home decorating.

7. Christmas lights in paper bags

Decorated with colorful ribbons or old Christmas cards, white, silver, golden, and blue paper snowflakes, feathers, and ordinary paper bags become eye-catching Christmas table centerpieces. LED Christmas lights will add a beautiful glow to these elegant, handmade Christmas decorations at night. Small cut-outs in the shapes of stars, or just tiny punched holes, will make ordinary paper bags look gorgeous and festive.
