DIY Outdoor Christmas Decoration Tutorials

I am a BIG FAN of decorating the outside of the house for any holiday. Christmas decorations are competitive though, so you’ve gotta be willing to put in a lot of time and effort. This is especially true if you don’t want to buy all of your decorations. I LOVE making things, and I LOVE showing them off! I made a ton of stuff for Halloween (my diy tombstones and my diy lighted ghosts) – and I can genuinely say it was worth it! Items that you make are of better quality, UNIQUE, and you can really be proud of them.

I do plan on making some lawn decorations for Christmas, and will absolutely share how I made them with all of you! For now, check out these tutorials that I found online. They look really fun! Click on the photo to get the tutorial.

DIY Ring Bearer Pillow Tutorials

By now, everyone should know how I feel about overpriced stuff that can be easily made on your own.

Making your own ring bearer pillows will be so much more personalized than buying a mass-produced one. It will be a lot cheaper too! You want your wedding to be original, right?

Lucky for me, I have two ring bearers, so I get to make two! Yay!

Here are some great tutorials that I’ve come across in my search for making my own. When I get around to making my own, I will be sure to post my tutorial and plenty of photos! For now, just click on the photos below to go to a tutorial that interests you.
