I don’t know what it is about Christmas but it is my most craftiest time of year. All I want to do is make shirts, gift tags, ornaments, wreaths and pretty much everything else. Today I am sharing one of my favorite Holiday DIY Crafts with you. I’m showing you how to make a Christmas Twig Wreath that will get you right in the holiday spirit!
Crafty Christmas: Twig Christmas Ornaments!
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to usher in the festive cheer than by indulging in a DIY crafting session! Today, we’re going to journey into nature’s own treasure trove and create a whimsical Christmas ornament made entirely out of twigs. Yes, you heard it right: twigs!
Why twigs?
- Eco-Friendly: With sustainability at the core, using twigs for crafting ensures that we aren’t adding to the commercial clutter, but rather turning to Mother Nature for inspiration.
- Unique: No two twigs are alike, which means each ornament will be distinctive and special.
- Easy & Accessible: A stroll in the park or your backyard is all you need to gather your materials.
This one is is not made for kids but you can certainly let the kids help! My favorite part of crafts is that it allows me to be creative without a screen. It’s can be downright therapeutic to work with your hands to create something beautiful!
This craft is fun because it uses twigs, felt paper and some more fun items. You can use it as decor around the house, and we all know you can never have enough holiday decor am I right?!
Tips:
- Create multiple twig ornaments and give them as sustainable gifts to friends and family.
- Get the kids involved. It’s a fun way to teach them about sustainability and creativity.
- Explore! Add mini bells, sequins, or ribbons to make your tree even more festive.
In a world that’s rapidly moving towards the digital, let’s take a step back this festive season. With just a handful of twigs, a splash of creativity, and a sprinkle of holiday spirit, you can create a memorable ornament that captures the essence of Christmas. Happy crafting and happy holidays!

Step - 9:
