Ideas For Decorating Round Wood Christmas Balls

In one word, Ree Drummond's Christmas décor style could be best summed up as "personal," and that's true of DIY Christmas gift ideas, too. "Ornaments should never be purchased in bundles," she says. "The ones on my tree are a mix of crafted childhood ornaments and sweet, sentimental ornaments we've been gifted through the years. Some of them are dented, some are chipped and some are definitely broken, but I'm a sucker for a tree that isn't too sparkly and shiny."

Whether you live in the suburbs or a city apartment, you can achieve that same meaningful, down-home look and transform your surroundings into a woodsy wonderland for the holidays. And we're here to help with a list of our favorite handmade rustic Christmas decorations. In our opinion, your best bet is to try to create a cozy atmosphere—one that invites you to curl up in a blanket and enjoy all the beautiful DIY Christmas decorations and Christmas tree decorations. Think: mini trees draped in plaid fabric, sweet signs made from vintage-worn wood, and gathered pine cones, winter greens, and branches. Even your ornaments will carry rustic flair. Don't forget about DIY outdoor Christmas decorations, too! So pour yourself a mug of hot cocoa and settle in! It's time to get crafting for a homespun holiday season.
