5 Impressive DIY Christmas Decorations To Try

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's prime time for putting up Christmas and other holiday decor. Sure you can buy pre-made items from just about any store. However, it can be fun and less expensive to make your own. Here are 5 impressive DIY Christmas decorations to try for the season and TikTok Tuesday.

Unfortunately, many Southwest Floridians are starting over when it comes to holiday decorations. I know people who lost all of them to hurricane damage from back-to-back storms this season. The good news about some of these ideas is that they don't cost a fortune. They just take a little time and effort.

My social media feeds have started exploding with people showing off their creativity and decorating skills. Some I've seen before, however, I'm always trying to track down something different. Hopefully some of these ideas will at least inspire you to try some DIY Christmas decorations this year,

If the kids are home and need an activity to keep them out of trouble, put them to work on some of these. Better yet, do them as a family project. Time together is the best gift of all during the holiday season. Then together, you can appreciate the team effort to make your home look extra special and festive this year.

If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've made it easy by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. Some of the details are in the captions so you might have to click to see them in full. Turn up the volume as well for good advice and instructions.

Finally, share these videos with friends who also enjoy decorating and might be looking for something new to try.

Every year I find something that I've never seen before. This time it's ceiling decor. I've never even thought about this but it looks fun for the right space.

If you REALLY want to turn heads in your neighborhood this year, you have to try this one. It is a little work but the finished product is indeed impressive.

This is a great idea to make your home feel like a winter wonderland, even if it is 80 or 90 degrees this season. You may even have some old picture frames to repurpose for the project.

I've seen lots of different versions of this one and love every one. This would look great if you have space on front porch or even around the pool.

This one requires several steps and lots of time for drying. But the finished product is impressive. You can also add your own touches in there.
