6 Christmas decorating projects that you can make to add a festive holiday vibe to your home.
Instead of making a new project to share with you today, I thought I would show you my favorite holiday decorations that I have used in past years and that made the cut this year.
No. 1: DIY Ornament Bowl
I made this Trash to Treasure Ornament Bowl the first year I started blogging. I used two unmatched pieces I found at the thrift store. I have used it in my foyer every Christmas since making it.
No. 2: Knitting Needle Ornament Tree

This Tabletop Knitting Needle Tree is taken apart to be stored each year since all that is holding it up is a knitting needle. It is super easy to make.
No. 3: Memory Ornaments
I like to hang souvenirs and keepsakes on my tree. I call them memory ornaments. I have shared more in my post, Memory Ornaments. This key to my childhood home is my favorite.
No. 4: Porch Light Decoration
I used real greens to make these outdoor Hook-On Greenery for Outdoor Light Fixtures decorations , but this year I am going to make them with artificial greens so I can reuse them each year. Wait until you see how easy it is to make and hang them.
No. 5: Christmas Tree Stand Cover
I made this Photo Frame Tree Stand Cover last year. I used it around the artificial tree in my dining room. This year I am going to use it around the real tree for the family room.
No. 6: Paper Wreath
I love preserved boxwood wreaths, but they are pricey. Last year I decided to make my own using paper – Paper Boxwood Wreath. I included a free printable of the leaves in my post. It is fast and easy to make if you have a digital cutting machine.
I will be making a few more decorations this year and will be showing them over the next 6 weeks.
Have you started thinking about how you are going to decorate this year?

Is there any wonder you’re a top blogger? No, there is not. Such splendid creativity. You stay so true to yourself, too. Love reading about and seeing all you do. Merry Christmas!!
I love the idea of the key. I pinned the porch light greenery one yesterday. Will have to use command hooks since I don’t have lights at my doorway.
Good Morning-
I love the key from your older home.
What a wonderful idea.
I’m going to do that this Christmas…
Have a great day
