3. Create a DIY ornament wreath.

Best for feeling extremely festive!

You are aware that every year when you pull down the Christmas decorations from the attic, half of them are broken. Why not create aincredibly Christmassy bauble wreath with those ornaments (or any leftover from when you decorated your tree)?

What happens if you combine crochet and Christmas? This lovely wreath made of crochet is a little quirky. Your entire neighborhood will be able to identify the resident crochet expert thanks to the addition of candy canes, mistletoe, pompoms, and of course a festive bow.

5. Make a festive character wreath out of yarn.

For knitters only (kids will love it too)

It's only fair that we also add a knitted wreath seeing that we've already had a crocheted one! Santa, Rudolph, and a Snowman are all chilling on a wreath in this lovely design, which also includes knitted ornaments and bunting.

The best advice is to tie the characters on with an undoable knot or secure them with safety pins.

Kids will want to play with those characters, that much is certain.
