EIGHT Projects You Can Do Before Christmas

How to make gold marbled Christmas ornaments

One week from today, my kids will be waking up, rubbing their bleary eyes, and running into the living room to see if Santa did his job. I can’t wait. And until then, we’ll be spending the few days before Christmas being together, enjoying the season, and creating a few last DIY projects.

If that sounds lovely to you too, I rounded up a few of our best holiday projects that you can create before Christmas. Each of these just take an afternoon (some take only a few minutes), and they’re all designed to help you celebrate the holidays by slowing down + making something special. Take a peek through our faves and let me know if you’ll be making any of these this year! xoxo

Make a Giant Candy Cane Pillow. Is this the cutest?! It’s a DIY that you’ll use for years to come. And the best part is that the top of the candy cane wraps around you like a neck pillow!
