DIY Farmhouse Christmas Decor, Coming Right Up!
In my opinion, most of our non-life-threatening problems fall into one of two categories: not enough time or not enough money.
When I was still teaching and before I had kids, my problems centered around not having enough time. I taught high school English, and the amount of time it took planning, creating and grading (oh my word, the grading!) was dizzying.
Now that I’m a SAHM, money is more of an issue.
Enter: The Holidays.
It’s been a whole new world getting used to reinventing our existence on one budget – and that includes how we celebrate Christmas.
Being a mom and being at home has really forced me to flip my brain a bit and work a little more from the intuitive, creative side.
And that’s how I’m approaching the holidays this year: lots of creative, homemade gifts, decorations, and ways to celebrate that are easy on the budget.
Today I’m focusing on farmhouse Christmas DIY decorating projects. If you love cozy, rustic farmhouse decor, these projects will be right up your alley! They are truly beautiful.

This is a very easy DIY that you can create in literally minutes with some hanging bells on a rope, faux winter green stems, and big ribbon bow! Perfect if you love vintage style decor! Keep this one up, for winter, too! I love the nostalgic feel of this wreath. I think it's perfect for indoor decor. I love this one for a few reasons: 1. Super easy. 2. Super cute. 3. The Girl Creative is my sister and I think she's amazing. Seriously. Go make this craft and check out all the other stuff on her site. Create your own magical winter wonderland! These glass cannister and jars add a whimsical Christmas vibe while remaining elegant and classy. Here's another fun take on a yarn-wrapped tree that's simple and stylish! Works perfectly if you have a little more of Scandinavian Christmas decor! This is a super-cute and easy project if you have some scrap wood hanging around! Using wrapped gifts as decor is an amazing way to add inexpensive bling! Check this out for an abundance of ideas! This is a fun and festive idea for a Christmas floral arrangement! They would look super cute as Christmas floral centerpieces for your dining table! I am genuinely in love with this idea. I can think of so many variations to create these to match my Christmas color palette. Just LOVE. This one is so, so easy! Cinnamon sticks glued to a thick ribbon, glued around a candle! Insert greens of your choice and done! This is more of an arrangement than a craft, but it's super-easy to put together and has a stunning, charming effect! If you want something a little extra special and unique, try this chandelier! Created with upcycled yogurt jars, this adds so much Christmas festivity to any sapce! What a fun idea for a wall hanging or door decoration! Made from mason jar canning rings, you can choose ornaments to compliment your Christmas color palette. Such a fun and easy idea for a Christmas tree craft! Put all of these trees together for a varied and wonderfully eclectic look! Burlap banners and buntings have been on trend for a few years now, and if you throw in a 'no-sew' element, definitely sign me up. I love using ornaments like this to hang on hooks or other places around the house! Made from repurposed sweaters, you can create a gorgeous Christmas craft while reducing clutter! And it's made from a Dollar Tree plastic ornament! How amazing are these?!? I just LOVE the result of these! If you're looking for a statement, give these a try! If you have a woodland theme or plaid patterns, this craft would be an adorable addition to your Christmas decor! Definitely could rival the store bought version! Oh, I just LOVE this one! It brings the true meaning of Christmas to your decor space. It's subtle but communicates a huge message. Minimalist and chic. I love this idea! It's simple, creative, and can easily be made with thrifted or upcycled materials. It's a stunner. This is a fun and whimsical craft to add festivity to your home! Lots of ways to customize this idea to your liking! This is a super-cute craft that is perfect for those small spaces that just need a little something extra! I love this wall art for Christmas. It's a simple, minimalist design that adds and doesn't overtake a space. This is a gorgeous option for Christmas home decor. It's so easy to make and it looks sophisticated and elegant. I'm a huge fan of the 'countdown to Christmas' projects, and I just love how this one came together. I promise, this will be a totally unique piece in your house. I love this idea not just for a tree ornament but also for wall decor and those other spaces where you want to hang decor - above islands, from mantels or shelves, in doorways. Love it! I love how simple and easy this one is. This can be hung on a wall or leaned against a mantle, or propped up around a fireplace. So fun. If you've got shadowboxes you'd like to repurpose, this is a wonderful way to upcycle for a wonderfully rustic Christmas craft. Advent candles, calendars, wreath - anything to observe the arrival of Jesus is my favorite. I love that this is beautiful decor with significance as well. These specialized Christmas galvanized buckets can get pretty pricey in the store, so this is a fantastic DIY option if you love these kinds of pails and pitchers! I just LOVE this project. This one is definitely on my ‘to make’ list this year. This is another one of my favorites that checks off all the ‘rustic farmhouse’ boxes. Love it. This one does involve some power tools, but the result is just stunning. If you love stenciling or wanting to try your hand at it, this is a beautiful DIY project to include in your home this year! This looks like a complicated project but it really is so doable! And the effect is amazing Oh gosh, this is another one that I love so much. It is such a unique way to display stockings, especially if you don’t have a mantel or other wall hooks. I’ve been all about using mason jars in my home decor lately, and I love how they can be adapted for Christmas with this craft. Just love it. This is another rustic sign I love. With a little wood, stain, paint and stencil, you can make this one yourself! Stocking holders can be pretty expensive, but I love how these are so personal as well as give a rustic, homey look! This is another beautiful idea for stocking holders - string art! Super-popular these days, and it adds a fabulous, rustic look to your Christmas decor. You can use this same idea for wall art! This is such an easy, simple idea for a Christmas centerpiece, but it looks so lovely. Perfect if you want that Scandanavian look for the holidays. Pine cones are one of my favorite pieces of free decor – I love that you can use them for fall and then just add a little snow for Christmas – and winter after! A ton of bang for the buck! This technique is transferrable for other objects to flock! I adore this sign, and I’m already thinking of so many ways I can put this one together with things I have around the house. There’s many ways you can personalize this look and make it your own! This is made from a free printable! Can you believe that?!? I LOVE this one, and it honestly has given me a ton of ideas to use with all kinds of free printables. It is definitely worth learning how to make this kind of sign, for any season! Last year, I became a HUGE fan of dried oranges in Christmas decor. This tutorial will show you how to make it as a garland! This is a classic, simple project for a perfect vintage look. Super-easy to make and customize, and it’s a fun one to get the kids involved in, too – DIY decor project and kid craft activity in one – win for everyone! This one only takes 20 minutes to make, and the effect is stunning! I love that it also can transition seamlessly to winter decor right after Christmas! This was one of my first DIY projects, so you know it was pretty easy to put together! But it’s still one of my favorites! You can customize this with any winter word you’d like, as well! This is a super easy and super cheap craft idea. The frames are made from paint sticks and the picture is from a Dollar Tree calendar! You can use any printable you'd like for this project - any season! This is such a fun idea and can serve multiple purposes! It would look adorable on a table filled with Christmas ornaments, use it as a Christmas Eve box, place gifts inside and use as decor! Gnomes have been so popular the last few years! I love that this is a no-sew project the uses upcycled materials! Creating this is a no-brainer! This was one of my favorite projects to make because first, it's sooooo cheap! Second, it's a Pottery Barn knock-off! And finally, you can put it up for Christmas and leave it up all winter long. Win, win, win. Isn't this one just so gorgeous?!?! Classy, elegant... give this one a try! I love the Scandinavian feel of this project! So simple and inexpensive to make, but it would look amazing with rustic Christmas decor. I can see these cute snowflakes hanging all of the house! I love using nature in decor any time of the year. Using pine cones is a huge bang for the buck whereas you can make this even in early fall and keep it up through the end of winter! Gorgeous rustic charm! If you like a little boho in your Christmas decor, give this one a try! Easy to make and can be made with real or faux pine greens! What a fun way to get a vintage vibe for Christmas! Use Christmas sheet music of favorite Christmas carols as framed art! Genius! I love the soothing feel of this project... the simplicity of design, the flow of the strings. A simple but beautiful addition to your Christmas decor. What a fun way to use blocks! You can customize this to whatever saying you'd like! I love blocks like this to fill in some small spaces that need a little extra Christmas decor! There's something about this one that I just adore. Maybe it's the simplicity and rawness of the first Christmas reflected in this Nativity. Absolutely moving and precious. These candle holders are just gorgeous! I just love the pop of red in such a subtle, understated way!

Aren’t they beautiful?!? I am seriously jealous of their creativity and talent! But I’m really glad they share it with us! 🙂 Thank you for coming by, Shelah!
I love every one of them! I think rustic Christmas decorations are by far my favorite style to use. Pinned for future reference! Thank you!
Don’t you love it, Melissa? It’s my favorite too. We had a soot puffback earlier this year and had to have the whole interior of our house repainted. IT really gave me time to think about styles I really loved – and I definitely landed at rustic farmhouse! Thank you for coming by 🙂
Omg I literally love ALL of these ideas! Pinning this right now!
I know, right?!? I seriously need to get started now! lol Thanks so much for coming by, Jessica! 🙂
Love the burlap trees. I’d love to try those. And a friend used tree rings in her wedding this year. I’m going to send this to her for her Christmas ideas!
That’s fantastic! I hope she can use something! My sister is the creator of the burlap trees, lol! I’ll tell you what you said – it would make her day! Thank you for coming by, Sheri! 🙂
These are AMAZING! I love reclaimed wood anything! Add in Christmas, and even better!
Aren’t they amazing? I’m so jealous of their talent – but thankful! I can’t wait to get going! Thank you so much for stopping in, Abbey! 🙂
I love this post. Great job on finding these projects and putting them together and thanks for also providing a link to where you could buy similiar items. As you mention, sometimes there just isn’t time…and this way you can still get it.
We decorated our tree with rustic ornaments I made, so totally love the theme! I’d love for you to check out my ideas (www.mycraftchens.com)
have a happy holiday time! (christmas is so close…)
Thanks so much Majka! I will definitely come by and see your work! I would love to see your ornaments! 🙂 I love, love, love rustic/farmhouse 🙂 Thank you so much for coming by! 🙂
I absolutely love everything you do.❤️
This means so, so much to me, Kim! Thank you so much for coming by and letting me know. You made my day.
Tons of talent!!! Love everything in this post!! I did notice on one of the galvanized buckets, it says “Smoky Mountain Tree Farm”…are you from East Tennessee/Western North Carolina?
I agree! I love these projects! Funny – I wasn’t living in Tennessee when I first wrote this post, but now I live in East Tennessee! About an hourish from the Smoky Mtns! We LOVE it here!
These projects are lovely; going to try some of these for when my grandkids come over. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Shelby! I’d love to hear how it goes! Thank you so much for letting me know!
