DIY Modern Holiday Decor Ideas

 

This trio just might be my favorite Christmas decorations! So simple but fun!

 

This weekend we are working on decorating our home and front porch in all things Christmas!  But this year, I feel like changing it up a bit and only putting out things I really, truly love.  I picked up a book at the store the other day called The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japananse art of decluttering and organizing by Marie Kondo which I plan to do a write up about soon.  But one of the things she writes about is to make sure you only have in your home things that bring you joy. Luckily, she provides tips to do this, but it stuck with me when I was going through our holiday boxes and I put away many items I usually decorate with for the holidays.  Frankly, I wasn’t crazy about some of them!  So I went in search of some modern DIY ideas that I do love and here is what I found! Some of them are definitely on my To-Do List!  Enjoy!

 

 

 

DIY PVC-Pipe Christmas Tree:

 

This fun DIY PVC-Pipe Christmas Tree is found on Martha Stewart with an easy tutorial.  I love how colorful this tree is and you can add in whatever color scheme you want – more traditional greens and reds or for a more modern take – greens, teals and pinks.

 

DIY Bulb Wreath

I LOVE this idea and love the red felt rope she uses to attach all the colorful bulbs.  Full tutorial for this wreath here on Sugar and Cloth and more super cute ideas found on Sugar and Cloth.

 

A Modern Take:

This is such a great idea from CB2!  I love their inexpensive modern products and have purchases several items throughout the years from them.  This wire wreath can be used all year long and can be found on CB2.  And I plan to write this December calendar on our chalk board – fun idea!

 

 

DIY Snowman Globe:

Love this fun idea found on Apartment Therapy!  Tutorial found on Apartment Therapy.

 

Add a Colorful Felt Wreath

I am a huge fan of these felt balls you see everywhere!  Now you can make your own felted wreath with this tutorial found on Pickles.

 

Color and More Color:

One of the things you take away from Modern Décor ideas are the colors they use.  There are some greens and reds, but mix in less traditional colors like teals, blues and pinks to get a more modern design.  Found on Creating Really Awesome Free Things.

 

DIY Reindeer Antlers:

I love this DIY Reindeer Antlers that Hola Mama made out of cardboard and then painted them.  Such a clever and inexpensive idea!Found on Hola Mama.

 

DIY Christmas Tree:

And if you switch it up this year – try making your own wooden Christmas tree and hang colorful bulbs on it for a rather unique tree!  And don’t forget to add a festive hat for your cat or dog!  More fun ideas found on Jelanie Shop.

 

Add Some Lights:

Love this idea from Jelanie Shop and plan to add in some bulbs above our dining table.  This is a simple idea but adds a lot to the festivities!Found on Jelanie Shop.
