Tags:
DIY Christmas decorations make your holiday so much more special. You can turn to create them into a shared family activity and relish in the knowledge that no other house on the block has exactly the same ones. The other obvious benefits: you can customize to your heart’s content, and spend less than you would on store-bought home accessories.
We especially adore these decor ideas from Cricut, the cutting machine that makes professional-quality crafts. And with just a few simple instructions each, your halls will be decked well ahead of Santa’s arrival.
