Diy Christmas Decor Crafts NOT To Make This Year
These Christmas decor crafts maybe popular and trending but they’re a complete disaster. Some are messy, some fall apart, some need tweaking, and some are downright unsanitary. Save yourself the time and stress this holiday season by avoiding these Christmas decor crafts. Be sure to check back as we will be adding more Christmas crafts throughout the season!
1. DIY BIG ORNAMENT CHRISTMAS WREATH
The super popular huge Dollar Store Pool Noodle DIY Christmas wreath (pictured above) is a disaster. Not only does it take over 200 ball ornaments to make, the weight of the ornaments is too heavy for the pool noodles to sustain. It’s also very difficult to store, and balls keep popping off. It’s best to skip this one unless you’re going to use a stronger base like pvc pipe and have a large garage or attic to store it.
2. DIY HOT GLUE SNOWFLAKE WINDOW CLINGS
The hot glue snowflake window clings (pictured above) were a hot mess. We couldn’t get the glue to form a snowflake design and it ended up looking like just a blob on the window.
There is another method that requires you to hot glue the snowflakes on parchment paper first, but when we tried it, they stuck to the parchment paper. This Christmas decor craft can only be salvaged by using a glue gun with a low heat setting and spraying the parchment paper with the right amount of cooking spray!
3. DIY WALL CHRISTMAS TREE IDEA
We were so excited to try this DIY Christmas Wall Tree that’s been trending all over social media but were soo disappointed. It took a lot longer to put up than anticipated and didn’t last long! The clear small command hooks won’t hold up the weight of the lights especially if your wall is lightly textured. We kept having to replace the hooks that would randomly pop off and re-string the lights to avoid the missing hooks (see in photo above). Our advice: use bigger command hooks that hold more weight than .2 or .5 pounds especially if you’re going to use garland on your wall tree too. You could also try making a half wall tree instead of a larger floor to ceiling one!
4. NATURAL DIY CHRISTMAS POTPOURRI
This super popular natural Christmas potpourri is suppose to fill your entire home with the scent of Christmas as it simmers on your stove top, but we could only smell it if we stuck our nose above the pot! Instead of coming for us in the comments, please tell us how you made this work because it’s been a waste every time we’ve tried it.
5. DIY TOILET PAPER ROLL CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR CRAFT
Whenever we see toilet paper roll Christmas crafts like the advent calendar above, we think of where those toilet paper rolls came from. Anybody who has lived through stomach bug season knows what we are talking about! It’s not the gift we want to get on any day of Christmas and that unwrapped gummy bear…CRINGE!
We hope this list of the worst Christmas decor crafts NOT to try this year saves you time, money, and misery! Be sure to PIN this and keep checking back as we add more decor crafts through out the season and if there are any other crafts that were a disaster for you let us know in the comments so you can save others!
Merry Christmas!
LOVE,
