Are you ready to kick back, relax and enjoy the winter break? Whether you’re taking a week-long holiday or booking out your calendar for a month, there are plenty of fun, festive activities to enjoy this December. To help get your creative juices flowing, we’ve put together a list of five great DIY projects to try at home. Grab your good pair of scissors, glue gun and let’s get started!
DIY festive decorations
What better way to get into the festive spirit than to get creative with some fun crafts. There are different ways to start the holiday season off on a creative note. For example, you can pick up acorns from the garden and spray paint them gold and silver for the dinner table.
Bird feeder
It may be winter, but there are still plenty of birds fluttering about. Create a bird feeder with scrap pieces of wood or cardboard cutoffs, fill it with grains, and watch as robins, chaffinches, and bramblings flock to your garden and bring it life with their cheerful chirps.
Coffee filter garlands
Warm beverages are in steady supply during the festive season break. Instead of throwing out your coffee filters, you can dry them out and string them together to make a rustic garland to hang over your fireplace. Not only do they exude a delicious odour, but they also look great!
Driftwood wall hanger
Have you got a convenient place to hang your rain jacket after a chilly trip to the market? Instead of buying a mass-produced wall hanger, you can put your woodwork skills to the test and make one out of driftwood. Just make sure that you dry, clean, and treat the wood to last longer.
Add festive lighting
Gather the family together and create a string of warm lighting by collecting mason jars and putting a tea light candle in the middle. If you want to add a little bit more festive cheer, then you can wrap the mason jar with tinsel too.
