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

Fringe Christmas Trees - MyFixitUpLife

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

Fringe Christmas trees are fun and easy to make. This one is painted gold and wrapped in fringe, care of my pal glue gun.
Christmas Crafts- MyFixitUpLife
I repurposed these little buckets into a 12 Days countdown to Christmas. Each is spraypainted with Chalkboard paint from Krylon.
Card Medallion Fypon
This ceiling medallion is perfect for a holiday card holder. I hand painted the medallion and added little embellishments.
Ginger Bread house - MyFixitUpLife - Happy Holidays
We made a family Ginger bread house! Theresa put on the icing and Jack decided where the candy should go.
We like to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. It makes the season longer, and slower. Our kids helped decorate this little $1 buckets so we can put little daily presents in them.

Spice round holiday wreath
Spice candies are the perfect colors for a little holiday wreath. Glued to styrofoam, I sometimes remove the candy at the end of the season and then it’s ready for the next holiday’s sweets.
Cranberry wreath for the holidays
There’s something about a cranberry wreath that exudes a richness of holiday cheer to me. I used toothpicks in a styrofoam wreath to apply the cranberries, and added the pretty little ribbon to give it a girly feel.
holiday candy wreath
Theresa does love her candy wreaths. This candy wreath makes a statement and was a fun project that you can do with older kids.
Fypon Finial Pineapple - Festive Decor - MyFixitUpLife
Decorating with pineapple finials to amp-up our festive decor seems like a natural choice to me. Each was handpainted, a project that I treasure. It’s a joy to have a bit of time to spend inside a crafty project.
Blue Joy Wreath Fypon
A ceiling medallion painted this pretty shade of blue is perfect for the holidays. Spray paint makes this decor easy, and quick.
Ho Ho Ho Green Fypon Wreaths
Dress up your holiday decor with ceiling medallion wreaths in a bold hue. Spray painted, with the words mounted from behind, the medallion can become an easy basic to re-use for other holidays.
