Upcycled Holiday Décor

Ah, Christmas. We can’t help it; we’re in a festive spirit of late. And while perusing the web for ideas for our Mason Jar Christmas Crafts article that we published at the end of last month, we also came across a few other crafts for Christmas ornaments that we thought were too cool not to share. So here comes another Christmas décor article to spread a little more Christmas cheer, as well as to help you get rid of the old by making it new with these upcycled Christmas crafts.

Cookie cutter tree ornaments

This is a great idea to use up old cookie cutters that you no longer have a use for. Simply back with festive wrapping paper or photos and attach a ribbon to be able to hang them on the tree. Easy and oh so nice.

Puzzle pieces snowflake ornaments

We all have an old puzzle lying around that is missing pieces. Since there’s no point keeping a puzzle you can’t complete, why not spray paint and glue your way to this adorable wintery deco piece?

Wooden clothes pin snowflake tree ornaments

Of course, puzzle pieces aren’t the only way to make a snowflake. For something bigger and more prominent, grab some of the wooden clothes pins that you have lying around, paint them white, disassemble, and then combine to create this eye-catching ornament.

Scrabble tiles ornaments

These are adorable and so easy to make, but they require that you sacrifice your scrabble game. However, if you have one around missing some tiles, then this is the DIY craft for you! They also work great as personalized gifts or even as name tags on presents, or serve well as place seating for a large Christmas dinner.

Wedding invitation ornaments

This idea is so smart we can’t believe that we only learnt about this now! Other than perhaps framing a few of your leftover wedding invitations, what on earth does one do with the rest of them? Apparently, cut them up into elegant confetti to fill a glass ornament, adding a delicate and personal touch to your tree.

Christmas list ornaments

This last one is an incredibly cute idea if you have kids. Take the lists that they have given you for Santa and rewrite them on a small piece of paper, attached to an empty spool. They not only look adorable and festive, but they are a great way to personalize your tree with sweet mementos, as well as to watch your kids grow up from year to year.
