DIY Christmas: 6 Fun & Festive Decoration Ideas

We’ll soon be ripping open day 1 of the advent calendars, getting the Christmas decs out of the loft and writing our Christmas shopping lists. It’s fair to say, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

You don’t need to spend hundreds of pounds to make your home look festive this Christmas. To prove it, here are some cheap and easy ideas to make your home look as Christmassy as possible.

 

1. Playful Place Cards 

Who said place cards have to be made out of folded paper and sit on the table? Why not use pinecones and add a little festivity to the table? Alternatively, you could make some name tags to hang off the back of seats.
