A lovely tradition at this time of year is decorating homes, workplaces and shops with beautiful Christmas decorations that create the right atmosphere.
It is popular to buy Christmas decorations in shops, but there is something special about making your own. It is a fun and creative activity that lets you add personal and unique details to your Christmas home.
The benefits of homemade Christmas decorations
Homemade Christmas decorations always carry a personal touch. You can add your own creative signature to each piece. Making decorations at home can also be budget-friendly because you can use materials you already have, and it can become a cosy family tradition where children and adults create memories together.
Ideas for homemade Christmas decorations
Buy clear baubles and let the whole family decorate their own Christmas baubles. You can draw on them with glass and porcelain markers or Posca pens. When the baubles are finished, add a clear label with a name and year, so you always remember who made it and when.
Reuse empty jam jars as atmospheric Christmas lanterns. Paint the jars or add glitter for a festive look. Instead of a real candle, place an electric tealight inside. Then there is no fire risk, and the lantern can even have a lid. Finish with a beautiful bottle label.
If you crochet, you can make small stars, snowflakes or stockings for the Christmas tree. Finish the crocheted decoration with a lovely woven label.
Dried citrus fruits can look beautiful. Together with fir and cinnamon, they also smell wonderful. If you want to share those scents with others, fill a jar with Christmas potpourri and add a sticker for wrapping to the lid.
Sew Christmas stockings for the whole family
If gifts arrive in Christmas stockings, you need large stockings with names on them. It is easy to add names with iron-on labels, including our iron-on labels without background. You do not need embroidery skills or an advanced sewing machine. You can also sew labels onto the stockings with names or other Christmas text, or use children’s name labels to tell the stockings apart.
Make your own advent calendar with party stickers
Party stickers fit perfectly on the recipient’s favourite chocolate, so you can decorate each piece with a personal sticker. When you look for inspiration for Christmas gift wrapping, take a look at our stickers for wrapping or make your own to-and-from stickers.
