DIY  front door wreath with faux juniper, eucalyptus, and berries.

​Last year, I created a few blogs about decorating on a budget. This year, we will continue this theme with new ideas! 

The cost of living is so high right now that it is more important than ever to be frugal and find ways to cut corners anywhere possible. Beautiful new decorations from the latest trending collections are impressive and make for gorgeous holiday interiors, but you can achieve a welcoming interior for your holiday guests on a budget.

Today’s DIY will show you a simple way to create a statement for your front door using a grapevine wreath and faux florals from your own stash. You could even create something similar with florals from your local dollar store.

How to make handmade pearl swag Christmas tree ornaments

12/8/2023

Handmade gold pearl swag Christmas tree ornaments.

​I spent the past month writing blogs about different holiday decor styles and color schemes. This research inspired me to be brave and experiment with my usual Christmas tree decor.

So, one sunny afternoon, I went shopping for ideas for my tree and ended up at Hobby Lobby, where I was greeted with a 50% off Christmas decor sale! (I’m not an affiliate or sponsored by Hobby Lobby.) My goal was to find some gorgeous extra wide ribbons and greenery to fill out my tree and wreaths. I walked out with a bundle of red cardinals, fluffy white owls, faux juniper sprays…and no ribbon. The ribbon aisle was picked clean, but the birds inspired me to create an entirely different decor scheme than was planned. So I came home and rifled through the trim-a-tree boxes and ribbon totes in search of ornaments and ribbons to coordinate with the stuff I bought. Long story short, this year’s Christmas tree features red, white, and gold decor. 

Which brings me to today’s little tutorial…

I have this wonderful knack for creating projects for myself! Today’s project was to make some gold swag tree ornaments for my tree to give it more elegance and add visual variety. These ornament swags are a simple and inexpensive way to create a little holiday bling, but you don’t have to use gold pearls. Any color pearls or beads would work well for this project. I will say this project was a little fiddly, but the finished pieces were so worth it and took the look of my tree to another level!
