Christmas decoration made of wood

Christmas decorations made of wood are timelessly beautiful and can decorate your own four walls every year. If you still need inspiration for the contemplative festival, you've come to the right place.

In the Advent season we bring stars, fairy lights and the like back into our apartment and create a cozy retreat. During this time, one or the other also likes to get creative and simply make the decoration himself.

No matter whether you are still looking for beautiful objects or just want to learn a great craft idea, we will show you modern, timeless and uncomplicated Christmas decorations.

A Christmas wreath made of pieces of wood brings variety and is a real eye-catcher, especially in front of the front door.

A Christmas wreath made of slices of branch is an interesting change from the usual wreaths of fir green. To do this, cut branches into slices. The wreath is particularly beautiful when the panes are approximately the same thickness and the same size. Then put the individual slices together as a trial to make a round shape. If you are satisfied with the size and position of the individual panes, you can glue them with wood glue. Individual pine branches and rowan berries add the finishing touch.

A garland made of spruce cones can be made in a few steps and is suitable as a Christmas decoration every year.

Cones are a typical Christmas ornament, which makes a lot in the form of a garland both inside and outside. If you like it of course, leave the spruce or pine cones as they are. If you like a little more opulence, you can spray it with golden color, for example. Natural cones are particularly beautiful in combination with green pine branches. Loosen up the whole thing by attaching other wooden shapes in between. The best thing about this decoration idea: collect the pine cones yourself on a walk in the forest.

The windowsill should not remain unused and bare during the Christmas season. Small decorative elements such as these wooden houses are particularly wonderful. With or without candle holders - the hand-designed products are timeless and can be brought out for a lifetime at Christmas. Tip: The räder brand offers porcelain lighthouses.

Less is more - just like these birchwood candle holders.

Natural materials are still the be-all and end-all in the interior design scene. Therefore, the Christmas decoration does not have to be expensive and opulent. Rather, the simplest materials can be used to create beautiful elements. Birch candle holders are available on Etsy and Amazon, for example. Of course you can also look for pieces of wood yourself. If you lend a hand yourself, you have all the artistic freedom - should the holder be raised or perhaps lie across? In the end, each piece is truly unique and brings nature into the living room.

Any Christmas decorations you have made yourself? Then put them in the spotlight.

Contemplative and stress-free advent season? Nothing! If the preparations for the festival grow quickly over your head, you should sit back and relax. Because this minimalist decoration idea is so simple that it makes you smile. Do you still have a homemade angel made of clay and some pieces of wood? Then just stack everything on top of one another - the table decoration is ready and is guaranteed to make your guests smile.

This decoration idea is so simple that it is perfect for handicrafts with children.

Santa simply belongs to Christmas. That's why we just make a whole pack of ourselves. All it takes are sawn-off pieces of wood and some acrylic paint. Then the Santa Claus is given the red hat and the white beard dabbed on. If you want, you can also give them a face. Distribute the finished Santa Clauses either individually in the house or you can pack them all together in a pot with moss - it couldn't be easier.

There is a wide range of Christmas furnishing styles. If you live in a rustic country house and everything is a bit wilder and more colorful, you can also express this in the table decorations.

Apples have always been traditional Christmas decorations. Instead of hanging it on the Christmas tree, simply convert it as a table decoration, add a little sugar and you're done!

It's also decent: without a tablecloth, the Christmas dinner feels less formal. In addition, you don't have to remove all the decorations before the feast.
