Handmade Natural Christmas Decorations using Found Items

Glittery Pinecones are very kid and budget friendly. If you add some biodegradable glitter they'll be earth friendly also! I love that they are a fun way to encourage kids to get outside to find their own pinecones to decorate too.

Twigs are one of the most magical items of childhood. Depending on who is playing with them they turn into fishing rods, a roof for a fort, perhaps even a fairy table. But when made into an ornament to hang on the tree the magic lasts for years to come for mom and dad.

This Natural Pinecone Swag would be perfect for doors. We normally put a wreath on our barn and coop door but I'm thinking I may add a few of these. If you have animals make sure none of them can get to the pinecones if you bleach them.

These Cinnamon Stick Reindeer Ornaments are perfect to scent and warm the air while making memories with the kids that will warm your heart. They require little as you only need some ribbon or twine and cinnamon sticks which are often found at discount stores.

These No Sew Christmas Stockings are quick, easy and look as nice as a sewn set. You can use things you have on hand and they're simple enough to change them yearly.

Make your own ruffled tree skirt with this tutorial. You can make it in so many ways; velvet for a rich, luxurious skirt or on the other side with a minimalist look with a simple cotton.

This rustic pine cone and burlap wreath is beautiful hanging on the wall or door. The kids can help collect them from your yard or even the park. You can turn it into a way to get the kids engaged with nature and you can rest easy knowing everyone will sleep all night after a day of running through the woods.

These little acorn ornaments are cute hung on the tree or even gifted as a necklace for a loving grandma. They even make cute tags on your presents if you have a present peeker. You can give each person a certain color and no one will know which gift belongs to whom. Don't forget to keep a master list in a safe place!

Decorations don't have to be expensive and artificial. Can you imagine the scent that is given off from this dried citrus? I wonder what it would be like to surround ourselves in everything handmade and natural. To have the security of knowing everything is safe to touched, explored and even tasted by little ones would be an amazing holiday experience.

There is nothing like walking through a door and smelling the holidays. Suddenly, memories rush through and I remember being a child as well as making memories with my own children. The scents of cinnamon, clove, pine, orange and peppermint are what open that door. I love how affordable and easy it is to scent my home naturally.

No space for a tree or are you looking for a decoration that will require zero maintenance effort? This pine cone Tabletop Christmas tree is a perfect way to celebrate the winter season. You can also scent the cones to add an extra layer to the scents and joys of the season.

I love wreathes. Displayed on the door or a wall it shares with the world the joy of the season. Plus it just makes me happy to see the greenery and colors of berries, fruits and seasonal flowers.
