If you want rustic Christmas decorating ideas, then there’s no way you can pass up a good opportunity to string cranberries on your lifelike Christmas tree! A cranberry garland adds a bright pop of red to your tree, is easy to make, and is affordable — what more could you want? Pour some eggnog and hot cocoa and get stringing cranberries; you’ll need a lot of this colorful Christmas decoration to make your tree stand out.
Popcorn Garland
Similar to a cranberry garland, a popcorn garland is the ultimate accessory when it comes to rustic holiday decor. This garland will add a subtle white-yellow color to your tree, and, again, it’s easy and affordable! Just be careful if you have any pets that like to snoop around your tree and eat this tasty garland.
Tree Stump Ornaments
When the kids are home for the winter break or when you and your pals want to do a fun activity while indulging in a Christmas movie marathon, this is the Christmas design idea for you. Simply buy some small tree stumps or find some in your backyard or while out on a hike. Grab some paint, markers, and string, and you’re in business! Paint designs on the wood, glue them together to create a snowman, or write the year. This rustic holiday decor will only get more special over the years — and it will give you a happy memory each Christmas.
Pinecone Ornaments
Pinecone OrnamentsAnother affordable, easy Christmas design idea simply involves grabbing some pinecones from the backyard and attaching some string! Before hanging the pinecones, be sure to bake them (at 200 degrees on a foil-lined dish for 30 minutes) so no bugs, sap, etc. will find their way into your home. You can be as creative or simple as you want with this! Glue on berries and nestle them into the branches or paint the pinecones. A red and green will certainly give a nostalgic look, but you could also do white with silver or gold for a more modern vibe.
