Here are a few more DIY Christmas decorations to follow the ones I posted a few weeks ago. They’re all fairly easy to make and can be put together for free or very little money.

DIY Christmas decorations are a great way to use up items that might otherwise be thought of as “trash” items. I have a tendency to save everything that might have use in a future project. So when it came time to make my cute little Christmas decorations, I went to my “junk box” to find items to use. The plastic bags I used for the lollipops were some old quilt batting packages. The red fabric for the snowman scarf was leftover from a previous sweater Christmas stocking project. And the lightbulbs of course had been spent.

So start saving items to upcycle later, and use whatever you can find already on hand. It’s a great way to get your crafting materials for free, and it also helps keep them from accumulating in some landfill, and avoids supporting mass-produced items. Win-win!
