Christmas may be over, but there is still plenty of winter left to go (sorry!). Winter decor can be beautiful and can really liven up your home. Let’s explore the options!
As the winter days get shorter and chillier, there’s nothing like adding a bit of seasonal decor to make your home feel warm and inviting. Creating your own winter-inspired decorations is a fun way to bring a cozy, festive touch indoors while keeping the winter blues at bay. Here are three step-by-step DIY decor projects. You’ll find a frosty wreath as well as charming mason jar candle holders. These projects will give your space a bright, wintery vibe! Keep reading for some winter DIY project suggestions, from DealDash.
Frosty Pinecone Wreath Decor
A frosty wreath on your front door or above your fireplace sets the tone for a winter wonderland vibe in your home. This wreath can be used for any winter (or Spring!) holiday. Stick some hearts on it for Valentine’s Day, or a couple of plastic eggs for Easter. It’s a great way to liven up your home decor without too much effort.
What You’ll Need:
- Grapevine or foam wreath base
- Pinecones (store-bought or foraged)
- White spray paint or faux snow spray
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon for hanging
Make It:
- Prep the pinecones by dusting them off and spraying them lightly with white spray paint to give a frosted look. Let them dry completely.
- Attach the pinecones to the wreath base using a hot glue gun. Arrange them evenly around the wreath, layering as needed to cover gaps.
- Add faux snow spray to give the wreath a snowy finish.
- Tie a ribbon at the top to hang your wreath, and voilà! Your front door is winter-ready.
Snowy Mason Jar Candle Holders
These mason jar candle holders make for the perfect centerpiece or mantle decor, adding a soft winter glow to your home.
What You’ll Need:
- Mason jars (any size)
- Epsom salt (to mimic snow)
- Mod Podge or craft glue – Learn more about Mod Podge
- Tea lights or small LED candles
- Twine or ribbon
- Small pine branches, cinnamon sticks, or mini pinecones for embellishment
Make It:
- Coat the outside of the mason jars with Mod Podge using a foam brush.
- Roll the jars in Epsom salt to give them a snowy look.
- Let the jars dry completely.
- Place a tea light or LED candle inside each jar.
- Decorate the jars by tying twine or ribbon around the neck, adding small embellishments like mini pinecones or pine branches.
🧶Cozy Knit Pillow Covers
Bring warmth to your living room by transforming old sweaters into stylish pillow covers. It’s a great way to upcycle while adding a cozy touch to your decor. If you accidentally spilled on or ripped your “ugly Christmas sweater” this year, this is the perfect way to still enjoy it!
What You’ll Need:
- Old knit sweaters (or take a trip to the thrift store)
- Pillow inserts
- Scissors
- Needle and thread (or fabric glue for a no-sew option)
Make It:
- Cut the sweater to fit your pillow insert, leaving about an inch of extra fabric on all sides.
- Sew or glue the edges of the fabric together, leaving one side open.
- Insert the pillow and close the final edge with stitching or fabric glue.
- Add buttons or decorative touches if desired for extra charm.
