50 Best DIY Holiday Ideas

Hey y'all,

Do I have a treat for you! Last year I participated in a fun holiday party with a few of my favorite blog friends… we brought you all kinds of ideas for your holiday decor, gifts, food! All the important stuff.

Well today I’m back with a few of the same ladies (and a few different ones) to bring you 12 days of holiday goodness. We’re starting with a master list of 50 amazing holiday ideas that you can use in your home. So check out the list below for a little bit of Christmas inspiration… then check back every week for the next 4 weeks as we come back 3x a week with fun ideas.

There’s even a printable calendar below if you really want to keep up with the what’s up. The official Holiday Ideas Blog Hop starts Monday, November 11, with all sorts of Gift Guides so don’t miss out (it’s going to be epic).

In the mean time, enjoy all these wreaths, signs, crafts… you want holiday projects? We’ve got ’em! Enjoy!
