These are the cutest decorations ever! What a great idea. I really like it and will definitely be making one or more of these this year. Would make a great gift for my daughters and daughter in law also. We have tons of village pieces and the past several years we’ve stopped decorating with them because we couldn’t find a way to display them. Will definitely be doing this during the holidays this year!

I don’t have many Christmas decorations, that’s why, while decorating the mantel for Christmas, I had to work with whatever I had on hand and make extras to fill empty spaces. Decorating for free is the best! Especially when it will only be up for a month. Goodwill is the best place to upcycle sweaters for this no sew sweater Christmas tree craft. This holiday craft is both fun and thrifty.

10. Easy and Fast Glitter Canvas Art

These would also make amazing Christmas gifts. The art is festive and classy at the same time–my favorite combination. Endless possibilities with this technique.

This craft is super simple to make, and way cute, plus it’s a great way to recycle a couple of tin cans! When my husband was a kid, his mom made Christmas decorations out of tin cans all the time, so I figured I’d try my hand at a tin can snowman this year. So glad I found this comprehensive DIY tutorial from Tauni Everett. The little guys look so adorable!

12. Wine Bottles Christmas Display

These are beautiful! I have lots of empty wine bottles to try this on. Fun “green-disguised-as-white” idea! I’m going to have to try this one. I adore the texture the salts give the bottles. I totally think it looks like snow. Any craft that starts with emptying a wine bottle is a good craft. Lord knows I have plenty of wine bottles at my house.
