Making holiday crafts and home decor is one of my favorite reasons to DIY ‣ MyFixitUpLife

By Theresa HerFixitUpLife OurFixitUpLife

I celebrate the holidays for a few months, because I’m busy creating fun little holiday crafts every year. Here’s a few of my favorites.

Yes, I have an addiction.

I am addicted to making pretty much everything, and holiday crafts and decor is one of my happiest reasons to head into my little workshop.

For every small project that I do, I head into my workshop, grab a basket, bucket or crate and fill it up with the project’s essentials. This makes it easier to stay organized through my organized chaos, where I am the proud product of conducting a giant orchestra of DIY projects pretty much every day of the year. From makeovers and renovations for clients, to little crafts with the kids, and holiday razzle-dazzle, I usually have at least a dozen projects in-process. Somehow I’m able to birth them all, but the process to my onlooking husband who hunts his projects (one-at-a-time), I’m like a clown car.

So as I’m busy finishing my dozen projects right now that range from a nursery to an upcycle wreath to a basement renovation, I wanted to share some of my holiday crafts and home decor that I’m still smiling about. I hope a few of these help inspire you in your holiday crafting and creations. ??t
