Benefits of Making Your Own Christmas Decorations Out of Wood:

  1. Cost-effective: Buying Christmas decorations can be expensive, especially if you want to decorate your entire house. Making your own decorations out of wood is a cost-effective solution that can save you money in the long run.
  2. Personal touch: Making your own decorations allows for a personal touch that store-bought decorations lack. You can customize your decorations to match your style and personality, and even make them as gifts for loved ones.
  3. Eco-friendly: Using wood as a material for your decorations is a sustainable and eco-friendly option. You can use recycled or reclaimed wood to create unique and beautiful pieces that will last for years.

Getting Started:

  1. Collect materials: Start by collecting the materials you’ll need for your project, including wood, paints, brushes, and other supplies. You can find these at craft stores or online.
  2. Choose a design: Decide on a design or theme for your decorations. You can find inspiration on Pinterest or other crafting websites.
  3. Get creative: Once you have your materials and design, it’s time to get creative! Use your imagination to create unique and beautiful decorations that will impress your family and friends.


Making your own Christmas decorations out of wood is a fun and rewarding experience that can add a personal touch to your holiday décor. Not only is it cost-effective and eco-friendly, but it also allows you to showcase your creativity and imagination. So, next time you’re looking to decorate your home for the holidays, consider making your own decorations out of wood.

    I wasn’t able to open any of the cut files to use with Cricut design space, they are just black blocks. Do you know what I might be doing it wrong

  3. First off, love your videos! You do such a great job and I look forward to all of them. I clicked on the download link for the “Glass Nativity” file and uploaded it to Cricut Design Space. The only thing that came up was 2 black rectangles. There’s no nativity silhouette. Am I doing something wrong?

    1. Hi there! I’m sorry I missed your comment – the file has now been fixed. So sorry for the inconvenience!
