DIY Christmas Decor

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's favorite holiday is Christmas, so I have a few super easy DIY's to get you're room spiced up for the Holidays

1) Lights

This one isn't really a DIY project, but it can easily change your room into the Christmas spirit. I bought mine at Home Depot for a great price, but there is a good chance there are some laying around in your storage closet. Also, if you get silver or gold, you can leave them up year-round for a tumblr effect to your room. I put colored lights around my closet, but you could also just lay them down on a desk or table. 

2) Countdown to Christmas

For this project you need paint, chalkboard paint, a wooden board, chalk, and of course paint brushes. I started by painting the board I got from Michaels white. When it dried, I painted "Days 'till Christmas" in red and black. I left room for a circle, which I painted with a frosty blue colored chalkboard paint. I used chalkboard markers to write in how many days until Christmas, but traditional chalk works as well.

My Christmas countdown with 16 days to go.

3) Glittered Pinecones

This project is super easy, and all you need is pinecones (I bought mine), glitter spray paint, and a glass bowl/vase. All you have to do is spray paint the pinecones, wait for them to dry, and put them in a bowl. This is a cute centerpiece or something to put on your bedside table. 

This looked good on my windowsill and bedside table. 

4) Christmas Tree Canvas

This project is a very simple painting with a unique twist. All you need is three small canvases, paints, glue, and gold glitter (optional). Using a pencil, draw the tip of a Christmas tree with a star on top. On the next canvas, draw the body or middle of a Christmas tree. The last canvas, draw the bottom of the tree with a stump, and I put Christmas presents under my tree, but that is optional. I painted the tree dark green and the presents red with a white bow. Let it dry. Then, using an eraser of a new pencil, dip it in light green and bright red paint to create dots as the background. The last step which is optional, is going over the star you drew on the top with glue. Add on the gold glitter to create a bright star. This looks super unique when hung up as three different paintings, but it all comes together to look like one. 

I hadn't put it up on my wall yet, but this is my painting laid out. 

5) Sparkled Snowflake

For this, you need a circle piece of wood, blue paint, Mod Podge, and gold glitter. I started by painting the wood with the light blue paint, and dried it with a hair dryer. When it was completely dry, I painted a simple snowflake design I found on google using the Mod Podge. Then, I added the gold glitter and tapped off the extra. To stop the execs glitter from falling off, use hairspray to keep it on the wood. 

Hopefully these decorations will help get you in the sprit and ready for the holidays.
