D.I.Y Christmas Decoration Ideas!


So with the holiday season upon us I thought it would be a great time to share some of my DIY decoration ideas!

First up we have very simple ribbon cushions! As you can see I simply tied a ribbon in a bow around my cushion. So simply yet so cute!




Secondly, a similar idea; I wrapped up some of my picture frames in cute wrapping paper and put some ribbon around them. I then hung them back on my wall for an instant festive look!



The third thing I did was get some cheap battery powered lights and draped them around my curtains and my mirror. I got these adorable heart shaped ones from IKEA. This, coupled with some festive smelling candles totally creates a holiday atmosphere in my room in the evenings, love it!




So possibly the most fun DIY I've ever diy'ed... This cute little Christmas tree! I will post a step by step for these below...



You will need:
  • Wrapping paper of your choice
  • Scissors
  • Sellotape 
  • Card or cardboard
Steps:
  1. For the card I sellotaped the back and front sides of a cereal box together. I then cut a couple of inches off so that it was a square shape as opposed to a rectangle. 
  2. I rolled the card into a cone shape and taped it together. I cut the excess card off the bottom so that the cone could stand on a flat surface. 
  3. I cut 5-6 inches in diameter of wrapping paper. 
  4. I folded the wrapping paper in half but don't squash it down; keep a little curved loop in the paper. Sellotape the top edges of the folded wrapping paper together, all the way along the top.
  5. Cut 1 inch sections straight up into the curved loop of the wrapping paper, but don't cut all the way up to the top. Leave about an inch at the top.
  6. Then measure your wrapping paper strip around the bottom of your cone and cut off the excess. Then sellotape the wrapping paper down onto the cone, sellotaping the 1 inch at the top that you left in the last step. 
  7. Repeat this step until you reach the top of your cone. You may need to cut more wrapping paper depending on the size of your cone. 
  8. Add a star made of card to the top of your tree to finish it off and your done :) 

Hope you guys enjoyed these little DIY ideas :) Let me know if anyone tries them out I would love to see! You can show me on Instagram by tagging @Loraforever3
