DIY Rustic Christmas Decorations You Are Going to Love

One of the most beloved decorating styles at Christmas would have to be rustic. Something about the memories that this type of decoration brings to mind is at the core of what Christmas is all about… Times gone by where family, simple things and spending time together were more important than the latest cell phone or hash-tag this and hash-tag that. They make us feel the warmth of the season, and they bring about the feeling of home. Great news for DIY’ers – rustic Christmas decor is easy to make too! We found our top picks for DIY rustic Christmas decorations and projects, and here… we… go!

Our last one is also from ‘Bless’er House’. It doesn’t have an actual tutorial, but she does tell you how they made this Christmas window sign, and I wanted to include it because it has a sweet story. This is an old window from her husbands childhood home built in 1904. They just added chalkboard paint! What better way to bring about holiday happy memories? Also, this is part of her holiday home tour, and if you don’t go over to check out her entire house filled with Christmas cheer, you are missing out! Happy Holiday Planning!
