Want a gorgeous Christmas table and a festive home, without spending hours styling your decorations? Discover 4 simple DIY Christmas ideas below that bring instant holiday magic into your home!
DIY 1: a stylish Christmas display with flowers, vases and candleholders
This elegant and easy-to-make Christmas scene is a real mood setter. The DIY centres around one large Christmas bouquet surrounded by smaller vases with single stems, delicate ornaments and candleholders. By mixing vases of different heights, you create a modern Christmas arrangement. The festive feeling follows naturally!
How to create a stylish Christmas display
1
Make the large bouquet by placing the flower stems one by one into the big vase. Use the video above as an example.
2
Give the bouquet a central spot in your home. Make sure you leave enough space to arrange the rest of the décor around it.
3
Fill the small vases with single stems. Place taller stems in taller vases and short stems in smaller ones. In our example, we used Orchid, Ranunculus and Tulip. Arrange the vases around the main bouquet.
4
Add candles to the candleholders and place them between the vases.
5
Finish the arrangement with baubles, ornaments or other Christmas touches such as pinecones or fir branches. Step back, take a look and adjust until it feels just right. Done? Enjoy your homemade Christmas display!
DIY 2: bauble mini-vases on candleholders
Shine a different light on your candleholders. Use them as stands for bauble vases, and you will have original table décor in moments!
How to make bauble vases
1
Gather the candleholders and baubles you want to use. See which combinations look best together.
2
Visit your local florist and pick up some flowers and small branches.
3
Twist or pull the top off the bauble, the part where the hook goes through. You should now have a small opening.
4
Fill the baubles with water. These will act as mini vases. Place them carefully on the candleholders.
5
Cut your flowers at an angle to the right length and fill the bauble vases with blooms.
6
Place the bauble vases on your Christmas table or another favourite spot and enjoy your handmade festive decoration!
DIY 3: a Christmas bouquet with a Flower Frog
During Christmas dinner, you naturally want to be able to see and chat with the people at your table. A large vase with a tall bouquet is not ideal. Want flowers on the table anyway? There is an easy solution. Use a small vase or even a simple glass combined with a Flower Frog.
A Flower Frog, also called a flower pin holder, is a handy, reusable tool that helps you secure and style flowers quickly and easily. You can read more about this useful tool here.
How to make a Christmas bouquet with a Flower Frog
1
Visit your local florist and choose your favourite Christmas flowers that match the look of your table. Or do it the other way around. Let the bouquet inspire the rest of your styling!
2
Place the Flower Frog inside the vase or glass.
3
Cut the flowers to your preferred lengths. Mix lengths for a more relaxed look, or keep them similar for a classic style.
4
Insert the stems one by one into the Flower Frog. Rearrange until you are happy with the shape.
5
Fill the vase with water and place it on your table, or anywhere you like. Time to enjoy it!
DIY 4: double vase with candle and flowers
This simple showstopper is guaranteed to make you smile during the festive season. A vase within a vase creates a beautiful double-layered effect. This DIY is a lovely little gift to yourself, and just as lovely to give to someone else!
How to make a double vase with candle
1
Visit your florist and choose your favourite Christmas flowers.
2
Attach adhesive pads to the bottom of the smaller vase.
3
Fix the smaller vase inside the larger vase.
4
Cut the flowers to the right length. Tip. Do not cut them too short. You want the stems to sit in the water while the flowers stay above it.
5
Place the flowers one by one into the space between the two vases. The stems should sit in the water while the blooms remain dry.
6
Place the candle inside the smaller vase.
7
Display your double vase on the Christmas table or anywhere else you like and light the candle. Instant festive vibes.
