Happy holidays! Welcome to my first 12 days of Craftmas! If you want your Christmas to look homemade, this is the Christmas craft ideas guide for you! There’s a little bit of every type of Christmas DIY: gift wrapping, decor, table settings, gift ideas, revamped holiday traditions, and sweet keepsakes.
These are Christmas craft ideas for those looking for a crafty Christmas. What does that mean? DIYs for anyone looking to reuse things already in their Christmas tub or recycling bin, for those who prefer handmade gift ideas, or Christmas decor for people waiting for their friends and family to ask, “Did you make that?”
In a 2025 full of trash, overconsumption, and commercialization, Christmas crafts are a way to bring back some originality, connection, and slowness to the festive season. Host a crafty holiday party, cuddle up solo with a holiday flick, or just show off your craft skills to your friends and family with your sick handmade holiday decor and gifts. This year I’m pledging to craft more instead of buying more and I bet it will look cuter and make me feel good too.
To help inspire some creativity this holiday season, I will release 12 Christmas craft ideas in the lead-up to Christmas. Don’t worry, I’ll start with the essential holiday decor and gift ideas so you’ll have plenty of time to put your handmade items to use or under the Christmas tree.
