Holiday decorating is a Christmas tradition that sparks joy, excitement and feelings of nostalgia year after year — one reason we believe it's never too early to start planning. Craft your holiday home by filling every room, small or large, with twinkly string lights, colorful ornaments and tons of gorgeous greenery, like garlands, wreaths and Christmas trees. You may choose to buy a few of the best Christmas decorations, but there's nothing quite like DIY Christmas decorations to give your space a cozy style.

Browse this list of elegant decorating ideas to find inspiration for every space, whether it's indoors or outdoors. Discover creative ways to decorate the front door, set a holiday table and hang holiday garlands — many of which require supplies you already own or easily found at the dollar store. Save money by experimenting with cheap and clever Christmas crafts, like making your own snow globe, cutting out white paper snowflakes or creating homemade wreaths from popsicle sticks. Plus, get inspired to use recycled materials like glass jars, pipe cleaners and even old light bulbs to create unique holiday displays.

Whether you're decorating the kitchen, living room, dining room or home office, we've got a DIY Christmas decoration you'll love recreating. Find a favorite and get started, because the holiday season isn't in full swing until the Christmas tree is decked out, the garlands are hung and string lights glow throughout the house.
