Quick Holiday Decorating Ideas That Will Make Your Home Festive in 30 Minutes or Less
There's no place like home for the holidays, but dressing your house up for this celebratory season can feel like a time-consuming chore, especially if you have tons of timely gear (think lights, garland swags, and porch accents) to lug down from the attic. Here's the thing: Preparing your space for Christmas doesn't require a ton of store-bought embellishments—and the handmade stuff doesn't have to cost you an afternoon. To help you curate a subtle, simple, and festive holiday scene, we went ahead and rounded up several quick and easy Christmas decorating ideas that you can tackle in 30 minutes or less. Take this suspended vignette, for example: With just two wreaths and some satin ribbon, you can make this spectacular decoration in a few easy steps. We have plenty more tricks up our sleeve—ahead, you'll discover a myriad of simple, seasonal projects, from strung garlands (made from waxed dental floss!) and no-sew Christmas tree skirts to fun card displays and pine-centric floral arrangements.

15 Easy Christmas Craft Ideas Anyone Can Make This Holiday Season
15 Easy Christmas Craft Ideas Anyone Can Make This Holiday Season
The holidays are a time for everyone to gather 'round and appreciate the simple beauty of being together. And what better way to do so than by starting a new tradition? We think making Christmas crafts as a group is a great way to enhance holiday cheer. All of these projects are simple enough for any beginner crafter to try, which makes them fun for loved ones of all ages. Turn a set of stockings into an advent calendar with special treats as you count down to Christmas. Old toys gain new life when they are repurposed into tree ornaments. For a quick craft that's also sweet, candy canes easily transform into the tails of festive mice party favors. Most of these crafts take mere minutes or less to complete, which means you can deck the halls and make things merry in speedy fashion. Be sure to relish this time, though—it isn't every day that you get to make something beautiful with the people you love most.
