Best of Christmas Ideas

January 1, 2025 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I may be a little slow at getting this blog post published. Yet, staying busy with Christmas decorating, putting up lights, crocheting slippers, helping my husband with his class with party activities, visiting family, traveling, and baking-time got away with me.

I am looking forward to sharing my Best of Christmas ideas with you today. There is everything from centerpieces, wreaths, tree decorating and ornaments to encourage and inspire you.

Sit back relax, grab your favorite drink and enjoy!

Design a Bottle Brush Christmas tree centerpiece for just pennies.

Update Christmas ornaments with quilting batting and faux snow.

Using ancestor’s photos, create a “Memory” Christmas tree.

Learn how to decorate a vintage olive bucket for Christmas.

Decorate a flocked King of Christmas tree.

Learn how to make handmade bead and crystal ornaments.

Sew a simple boho style Christmas stocking with a drop cloth.

For another drop cloth project, construct a “Wintery” wreath.

With empty, clean tin cans and styrofoam balls, fabricate candle holders or vases.

A Christmas tablescape can be any color that YOU like. Even pink, mauve and gold.

For a unique Christmas craft, follow this tutorial for a rusty bell  ornament.

Embroidery hoops are the perfect way to make an easy, glittery, colorful wreath.

Do you have a collection of vintage pins or brooches? Add them to your ornaments for a fun, festive style. The tutorial is here.

Embellish your chandelier for the festive season with what you have in your craft stash in just a few minutes.

It’s been fun to scroll through the blog to feature the Best of Christmas Ideas. Which one(s) were your favorite? Is there one that has inspired you or got your creative juices going?

Personally, I have some ideas for decorating differently outside our apartment cottage. What about a color theme? Possibly blue and green as the base and go from there. I would love to hear YOUR ideas, too!

Thanks for joining me today.

Happy New Year, everyone!
