15 Christmas DIY Projects: Day 6 – Christmas in July
Here we go with Bluesky Browsing #98.
I started my search on Pinterest by looking for DIY Christmas projects in general. The more I searched, the more I was attracted to Christmas tree crafts. You will notice many projects focused on trees. Christmas crafts cover so many different materials that you’ll find a stocking full of great ideas.
For these DIY Christmas trees, I looked for ideas that were pretty, easy, and could be adapted to whatever Christmas color scheme you chose.
I also looked for DIY Christmas projects that had great tutorials – clear, concise and great photography. Know that every pretty picture has a “show and tell” behind it.
Enjoy them all.
DIY Christmas Projects for You to Try
Lighted Yarn DIY Christmas Trees
I’ve seen yarn Christmas trees, but I loved these lighted ones from Rhonda of Hallstrom Home. The different heights of the trees make for such an interesting vignette.
Decorated Bottle Brush Trees
Everyone loves bottle brush trees. I’ve been slowly collecting them and using them the past couple of years. My sweet friend Tammy of White Lilac Farmhouse shares how to decorate them in the prettiest way. She gives great suggestions for taking a plain bottle brush tree and turning into something spectacular.
Easy Jeweled Christmas Ornaments
This is one of the easiest DIY Christmas ornaments you can make. It’s great for kids, too. Every ornament can be different or look the same. My granddaughters loved making them.
DIY String Christmas Trees
Have you ever heard of a string Christmas tree? When I saw this picture on Pinterest, I wondered how this tree was made. Bev of Make Your Own Zone shows us exactly how to make this pretty DIY Christmas tree.
Last Minute DIY Christmas Trees
Don’t have time to make your Christmas tree decorations? Then use this easy and fast method from Francine of Francine’s Place. You could even delegate this project to the kids. The result is still so pretty.
Pink and Blue Yarn Christmas Trees
I had so much fun making yarn Christmas trees for our home. I chose three colors – pink, white, and blue – for a soft pastel look. Adding fairy lights gave the trees a magical quality at night.
Make Your Own Bottle Brush Trees
Ashley of At Home with Ashley is known for her pretty bright colors. But she blew me away when she shared how to make your own bottle brush trees from scratch. You won’t believe how easy and inexpensive it is. Ashley used her usual bright pastels in her home, but you could color your trees in your own color scheme.
Fleece (or Felt) DIY Christmas Trees
Aren’t these Christmas trees so pretty? They are from Janine of Happy Happy Nester. She has an easy way to create the tree before decorating in soft neutral colors. Janine used fleece, but felt would work just as well. Pick your color scheme and you are on your way to making these pretty additions to your Christmas decor.
How to Make Glitter Christmas Trees
I had to share one of my DIY Christmas tree projects from Bluesky at Home. I made these trees as a centerpiece for a Christmas tablescape last year. I show you step-by-step how to get the glitter on the trees – including my mistakes. Use your favorite color of glitter to make these trees your own.
Felt Ball Christmas Tree
Are you as obsessed with felt balls as I am? I love how versatile they are. And they come in every color of the rainbow! Amy of Mom Spark created this colorful Christmas tree. Change the color of the felt balls if you like and create a different aesthetic.
DIY Music Sheet Christmas Trees
This DIY Christmas tree was one of the most unique projects I found. And it’s so simple! This project from Heather of Beauty for Ashes is perfect for the music lover. I actually have some sheets of music that I found a few years ago at a local antique mall. I just have to find them!
Ornament Christmas Wreath
Who doesn’t love a wreath at Christmas time? This one is one of my favorite DIY Christmas projects ever. The colors of your ornaments can give every wreath a distinctive look.
The Cutest DIY Christmas Garland
Make these easy Christmas garlands in your chosen colors for a fun decoration for your mantel or mirror or anywhere you need a burst of color, pattern and style.
Simple Christmas Signs
Cute DIY Christmas wood signs are a favorite Christmas craft. You can make them now and easily store them until it’s time to decorate.
Let me know what you think of these DIY Christmas trees. Which ones were your favorites? I could try them all. I do already have styrofoam cones, felt balls, small ornaments, and twinkle lights on hand.
Amazon is coming every day to my house!
