10 Christmas life hacks and DIY

1. Fairy Lights in a Jar

Place mini LED string lights inside a large glass jar to create a simple yet stunning lamp. Add pinecones, faux snow, or small branches for a wintry touch.

2. Dried Orange Decorations

Slice oranges thinly, dry them in the oven, and use them as tree ornaments or to make a garland. Their natural scent will add a festive feel to your home.

3. Simple Evergreen Centerpiece

Use pine branches, cones, and candles to create a minimalist holiday centerpiece. Tie it together with twine or add red berries for extra charm.

4. 3D Paper Snowflakes

Cut and fold paper to make three-dimensional snowflakes for windows or tree decorations. Use white paper for a classic look or colored paper for a fun twist.

5. DIY Ornaments with Clear Baubles

Fill clear ornaments with faux snow, glitter, small branches, or tiny figurines. You can also write wishes or meaningful quotes on paper and place them inside.

6. Popcorn and Cranberry Garland

String popcorn and dried cranberries together to make a rustic and charming garland. Perfect for natural or Scandinavian-inspired holiday decor.

7. Gift Bows from Old Newspapers

Use old newspapers or book pages to create eco-friendly and unique gift bows. Pair with brown kraft paper and a sprig of rosemary for a chic, minimal look.

8. Frosted Candle Holders

Coat glass jars with glue, then sprinkle them with Epsom salt or sugar for a frosty effect. Place tealight candles inside for a warm, shimmering glow.

9. Salt Dough Ornaments

Make salt dough (flour, salt, water), cut out shapes with cookie cutters, bake them, and paint them. A fun activity for kids and a way to create personalized ornaments.
