5 Maker Holiday Decor Ideas

5 Maker Holiday Decor Ideas

by | published

Oh hey there, holiday season! Now that you’ve arrived, we’re inspired to decorate our living space in ways that give us cozy, let’s-stay-inside and celebrate vibes.

Since we spend a lot more time inside during these cooler months and there’s a possibility of hosting super fun and festive gatherings (cue all the yummy treats!), it’s important to make our living space feel equal parts joyful, meaningful, and inspiring.

Candles, unique vessels, and energizing crystals are a great way to add some major holiday pizzaz to your home that make it the seasonal sanctuary we all deserve. Check out some of our favorite ways to decorate this time of year!

 

handmade stocking stuffers

Stockings are always a fun way to give gifts and decorate your space. If you’re looking for unique stocking stuffers and ways to spruce up the space where you hang them, consider adding samples of bath + body products that you can make with our new supplies and candles that fit your color scheme.

 

 

Here, we used matte wine and matte cream aura candle vessels to match a cream-colored display and threw in some eco wool dryer balls and DIY soap for an extra gift of care and cleanliness. 

Maker Tip: Watch these videos to learn how to make your own luxurious bath + body products.


mix candle vessels with mini ornaments

Make a bold and joyful statement by placing shiny, shimmery mini ornaments in a gorgeous, natural stone luxe vesselCoordinate your ornament colors to match your vessel for a simple, aesthetically pleasing display of holiday magic.

Choose from: 


    Place your vessels in an entryway, a powder bathroom, or on the coffee table for a touch of holiday glam wherever you look. When the season changes, swap the ornaments out for matchbooks, candies, or crystals.

     

    use candy canes as a centerpiece

    We love a clean look that keeps the holiday spirit alive! 

    Make candy canes the center of attention by placing them in white glam candle tins, then throw in some mistletoe for more bright and merry decor.

    Not a fan of mistletoe? Our dried juniper sprigs would also work well to bring in a touch of nature.

    Our glam tins create a sleek, modern aesthetic that would look great paired with white dishes, bold red napkins, and white tealights. 

    You could also mix up the design using colorful candy canes or monochromatic versions (think pink and red or dark green and light green). 

    At the end of dinner, everyone can take one (or a few) home, making them do double duty as your party favors. Don't sleep on this easy, affordable holiday decorating idea. You can mark decorating as done in a few quick steps!



    set the table with good intentions

    If you’re hosting holiday dinners this year, make the dining room table a meaningful experience with unique crystals.

    Adding a couple of gemstones filled with good intentions will give your guests something positive they can hold on to as they head toward the new year.

    Diopside rods encourage creativity and open the heart to love, clear quartz help bring the body into balance, smokey quartz promotes grounding and anxiety relief, and amethyst points inspire inner strength and loving energies.

    Tuck a few crystals into each napkin, add a few around your place cards, or add them into clear vases throughout your table. They bring an earthy vibe to your holiday table decor while adding good energy.

    Crystals are an unexpected touch with holiday decor which is another we reason we love them. Your guests won't forget this holiday experience and can take a crystal home as a memory from the night.


    centerpiece magic

    With all of these fun pieces of holiday decor, you now have exciting options to liven up your living space.

    Place your new decorations on a mantle or group them together in the middle of a table for an ultra-festive centerpiece.

    What a delightful way to create your own elements of holiday cheer!
