How To Make Simple Christmas Table Decorations

Start with Somewhere to “Set the Scene”

Like a big glass vase, decorative bowl, glass cookie or candy dish, wooden bowls, small shallow trays, or dough bowls would be cute.

Filling in details all around makes your DIY Christmas Table Decorations more magical and fun for little guests that see it.

Really just look around all of your shelves and storage areas for something that might work.

Add a Christmas-y Base

Start with a snowy base with whatever you have available. Like iridescent fake snow, tiny foam balls, polyfill stuffing, or even some white, fluffy fabric.

This glass container has iridescent fake snow and a string of LED lights as the base for a simple Christmas Village scene.

Then Make your Own Christmas Scene

Use a that mini Christmas train most people have, a few ornaments from your favorite Christmas movie, or your kids favorite Disney ornaments to design a little Christmas scene.

Maybe use some cute little gnomes with little snow covered mountains or mini Nutcrackers too.

Or grab some retro Red Truck Christmas decor and miniature Christmas figurines to build a nostalgic Christmas scene.

Little woodland creatures would be super cute too. You can really go 1,000 different ways with these DIY Christmas table decorations.

A little light from LED tea lights and mini wired LED strings will add warmth and fun to any scene.

I highly recommend checking the Target dollar spot for fun and super cheap Christmas decor. I found those little wooden houses for $3 there, this week.

That’s it! You’ve designed your own easy and cheap Christmas decorations with things you already had.
