DIY Christmas Decorations

DIY Christmas Decorations

Christmas is officially the season of twinkly lights, too many desserts and potentially unwanted Kris Kringle gifts, which makes it the perfect time to channel that festive energy into some fun DIY Christmas decorations.  Making your own decorations or Christmas baubles adds a personal, handmade touch that feels warm, nostalgic and way more special than anything bought from the store.

Jute Twine is the quiet hero of Christmas crafting.  It’s rustic, affordable and perfect for people who want handmade vibes without the need for master crafter skills.  It instantly turns simple materials into stylish, earthy decor that looks way more impressive than the effort needed.

So grab that hot glue gun and let’s get crafting.
