4. Wooden Tree Sign
A few sticks found in your garden area can create a beautifully rustic Christmas sign to hang either indoors or outdoors. If you prefer some colour, you could certainly spray the sticks. But if you ask me, I would suggest you to stick with the natural colour and let the décor work its charm!



5. Santa Hat Door Vase
If you’re in the mood for an alternative to the traditional wreath, turn a Santa hat into a vase and hang it from your door this year. Some evergreen and poinsettias would finish it off perfectly.



6. Holiday Shakers
Here’s a Yuletide DIY idea that is worth a salt: Take a transparent glass/plastic salt shaker and turn it into mini winter wonderlands by nesting toy evergreens and deer atop iodized "drifts".



7. Sweetness Personified
Sweeten up your decorations instantly by putting out bowls of cute and tiny holiday candies in pretty, stemmed glassware. Swipe the edge of the glass with a lime or lemon, and dip the glass into salt or sugar. Leave it on your dinner table or center table to glam up the festivity.



8. Let it Snow
Many regions in India don’t see snowfall during winters. And Christmas without snowfall is a little incomplete. So here’s how you can give your home a chilly snowfall-like feeling for a beautiful white Christmas: String the cotton balls together on a thread to make a garland or hang this literally anywhere; the more strings the merrier!



9. Penguins on a Roll
Here’s a great craft that will attract a lot of attention this Christmas. You will need a bottle, scissors, paint, cloth, and a paint brush to bring life to this penguin decoration. The below image describes detailed steps to make this fun and festive DIY:
