The nights are getting darker, and the weather is getting colder, meaning the festive season is here. And there is nothing more heart-warming than adding a special touch to your seasonal decor with personalisation. As an added bonus, making your own decorations can help save you money when we need it most too.
We’ve put together some Christmas decorating ideas to make for your home and even included the links to make the projects in Design Space so you can go right ahead and make it now or save the project for later with a bookmark. (Discover how to save and retrieve projects in Design Space here.)
Tree Decorations
Baubles
Create personalised baubles with special memories attached to them. Whether they remind you of your wedding, your children, your pets, or a holiday you went on, these baubles help bring a smile to your face every year they are bought out again to decorate your tree with.
Our Pet Cat Christmas Tree Bauble is available as a project to save and make in Design Space. You can select ‘customize’ to change your cat’s name or even change the animal too.
The Personalised Home Christmas Bauble is available as a project to save and make in Design Space here. We used cardstock to create the bauble and used vinyl to add the year.
The Infusible InkTM Penguin Family Bauble is available as a project to save and make in Design Space. We used an Infusible Ink Coaster as the base and turned this into a bauble with Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets.
Our Christmas Nutcracker and Santa Bauble projects are also ready as projects on Design Space for you to save and make now.
Tree Topper
A tree needs something with the wow-factor to finish off the look. We used basswood to create our own topper – a crescent moon.
Save or make this Moon Christmas Tree project in Design Space here.
Wreath Making
Wreaths are always very popular during the winter season and you can create many different kinds of wreaths to suit your home.
The beautiful Star Wreath and Winter Village Wreath are available to save or make as a project in Design Space. We used cardstock and hot glue to assemble the stars and houses and then attached these to the wreath base.
The Mistletoe Wreath and Holly Wreath projects are both available on Design Space. Both use cardstock to create the leaves that make up the beautiful and full foliage look.
To recreate the Monogram Wreath look, simply cut your chosen letter in your favourite font using cardstock, basswood, or wood veneer and hang it in the centre of an existing wreath.
Christmas Show Stoppers
Christmas Houses
These houses are fun to assemble and easy to cut from cardstock.

Christmas themed cushions
Add jolly holly vibes to your home with some festive cushions. Whether it’s your favourite seasonal quote, a classic Christmas song lyric, or an image synonymous with Christmas, your cushions will add some Christmas cheer to any room.
The Rustic Deer cushion is available to save or make as a project in Design Space here.
Catherine from Dainty Dress Diaries on Instagram has turned her snowflake cushion into a project for you to save or make here. She used glitter iron on as Christmas is the perfect time to add the sparkle!
Treats for Santa
Santa Claus travels quite a distance in one night and so leaving some treats for Santa is a great way of saying thank you.
Catherine from Dainty Dress Diaries created this adorable Santa treat tray which is available in Design Space here.
