Step up the holiday decorations at your house with these easy DIY projects and décor ideas. Learn the basic ideas on how to make Christmas Decorations. Then use your imagination to make your own holiday creation. You won’t believe how easy this is going to be.

Don’t forget to decorate for Fall & Thanksgiving with Dollar Tree too!

Christmas Ornaments

A quick and cheap way to decorate is by picking up a sleeve of Christmas ornaments and stacking them in a glass vase. It’s an inexpensive item that turns your vase easily into holiday décor.

You can use a vase you already have at home or pick up a new vase at Dollar Tree.

Place the Christmas tree ornaments in one big vase or several surrounded by a mix of Christmas figures you already have at home. If you want to decorate the vase use a hot glue gun to paste some ribbon onto it.

You will find a large number of individual Christmas ornaments too. Use these to update your tree this year. Or make a statement by finding a new top piece to your tree.

TIP: It’s also fun to bring the kids and let them pick out a new ornament each year. They will be so excited to help you decorate the tree and hang up their new ornament.

My kids liked getting their own tabletop Christmas Tree for their room at Dollar Tree and decorating it with ornaments.

DIY Christmas Wreaths

These DIY Christmas wreaths are super easy Christmas crafts with dollar tree supplies. All you need is a wreath form, some ribbon, and a few cute holiday supplies like Christmas bows, jingle bells, or holiday berries.

I found two wreath forms to use this year from dollar tree. A candy cane form and a traditional circle wreath form. I also found the hooks to go over the door to hang the wreaths.

To start your wreath tie your ribbon to the bottom of the form. Then I added the mini Christmas bows that can bend around the metal form.

Tip: you could also add the bows or holiday berries later by pushing the wire attached to them between the layers of ribbon.

Next wrap your ribbon around the form and under the bow ties. At the end stuff the last end of the ribbon into the ribbon on the back to hold it. You could also use a hot glue gun to glue it down.

When you’re done you’ll have a cute holiday wreath to give as a gift or hang up on your front door.

Christmas Centerpiece

Create this easy Christmas centerpiece with items from the flower section of Dollar Tree. These look great on a side table, your countertop, or on your holiday table as a centerpiece.

Find a cute flower pot like the silver one I used. Then add a styrofoam block to the bottom of the pot.

Add to the styrofoam block fake red flowers, berries, pine cones, and holiday accents like the stockings. All of these items are on sticks you can poke into the block.

Finish off the centerpiece by tying a holiday ribbon around the outside of the flower pot with a cut Christmas ornament attached.

Decorate with Your Holiday Cards

Do you wonder what to do with all those holiday cards you get in the mail? I love all the pictures but never know what to do with them.

Then I figured out how to make this cute Christmas card display pictured above and below.

All you need is a roll of Christmas ribbon and wooden clothespins to make a beautiful display of all your Holiday Cards.

Get step-by-step directions in my Easy Homemade Christmas Card Displays.

Christmas Tree

Decorate your dining room table or side table with a small Christmas Tree. At Dollar Tree, you can pick up a small tree, tree skirt, ornaments, and tree topper.

I also added festive foam Christmas decorations to the top of the tree skirt to finish off the look.

Outdoor Christmas Porch Decorations

Decorate your porch with cute Holiday planters. Use a large outdoor pot and fill it with evergreen cuttings or faux greenery.

I cut down branches from my backyard evergreen tree but you could also get them where they sell Christmas trees.

Then fill the pot with small Christmas yard signs, fake red poinsettia flowers, and pine cones on a stick. These will look amazing by your front door!

Another outdoor Christmas decoration idea is to create Ice Ornaments to hang on the trees in your yard. This is a really fun DIY winter craft with your kids.

Dining Room Table Decorations

Make sure to decorate your dinner table too. You can use seasonal Nutcrackers, snow-covered Christmas trees, miniature holiday figures and buildings, tea lights, or red flowers with berries. You could make a whole Christmas village on your table with all the miniature items they have.

Another idea is to add in candles and holiday candle holders these will make your home smell great when guests come over for the holidays.

Bonus the candles make your home smell great when guests come over for the holidays.

Christmas Signs

I love to scatter a few Christmas signs around the house with cute seasonal sayings. The wooden sign is a great way to break up all the other decorations and Christmas lights. It’s a super easy way to decorate your dining room table, shelves, or countertops too.

They have a vast selection of signs to choose from, so pick one that fits your family the best.

If you don’t have time to shop try Decocrated a cool home decor subscription box I found and love. You’ll get 6-8 cute home decorations 4 times a year so you’re ready for every season including Christmas Decor.

You’ll be so excited about what Decocrated sends and you won’t have to shop or make it!

Outdoor Metal & Wooden Signs

Don’t forget to spread a little cheer in the front of your house with fun outdoor Christmas signs for your door. You’ll find a mix of snowmen signs to Santa Claus.

They also have cute holiday yard signs to stick in your Front yard.

Tree Skirts

Don’t forget to make the bottom of your Christmas tree pretty with a nice holiday tree skirt.

DIY Holiday Selfie Station

People love to take selfies and remember a fun holiday party. Use these two loves and create a holiday selfie station. It’s a great way to get family and friends to take lots of fun pictures together.

Make the selfie area by tapping a holiday door cover on a blank wall. Then place on a table next to it the Christmas photo prop kit.

During the party, people can come and go taking pictures on their phones. Remember to ask them to send you their best pics so you can keep the memories.

Tip: If you’re planning a Virtual Holiday party use these as the background of your Zoom view. It’s a fun way to celebrate when you can’t be together.

Add some fun Zoom Game ideas for your Virtual Holiday party too.
