Yes, I know the leaves are just starting to turn and we’re not even through Halloween yet.
To me, Christmas and the birth of Jesus represent hope and the promise of better days. Christmas is like this bright light in the middle of a long, cold winter.
I also enjoy channeling Buddy the Elf. I love decorating for Christmas most of all! I want it to look like Christmas in every corner. So I’ve been creating Christmas crafts left and right. I’ve got a ton of cute DIY Christmas craft ideas and free Christmas SVGs to share with you and I’ve also rounded up some of my favorite DIY Christmas crafts & from other bloggers! If you weren’t in the holiday spirit, you will be soon!!
20 Merry & EASY DIY Christmas Craft Ideas
-
Christmas Hand Soap & Santa-tizer
This is one of my favorite DIY projects. So quick and easy! I’ve got a tutorial here, along with a free Halloween cut file.
I’m aiming to come up with a few more for other holidays because I think they are the cutest! They make really fun gifts too!
You can grab my free SVG here.
2. Santa’s Little Helper Shirt
I found an amazing sale online and bought waaayyyy too many Christmas ruffle raglans, so I’ve been super busy creating designs for them. If you’re interested in scoring adorable shirts like these be sure to check out my places to buy blanks from post. These raglans were purchased from several of the stores on that last! I got them all for really good prices too!
This first one is for my littlest cutie! It’s going to be so stinkin’ cute!

3. DIY Santa Cam Ornament
This little cameras have duel advantages. They are super easy and fun to make and they can be used to help improve behavior at home over the holidays. Or give your kid a complex. The internet is divided.
Either way, they are fun and easy. In fact, just plain glitter ornaments are one of my favorite things to make around Christmas. Just add a SVG and you’ve got instant custom Christmas ornaments.
If you want to re-create this one, be sure to check out my glitter ornament tutorial. Also, be sure to grab my free cut file here.
4. Santa is my Bestie shirt
This shirt is for my oldest cutie! We’re going to ride the Polar Express at Christmas, and she’s going to be wearing it to see Santa. It’ll make for adorable pictures!
Be sure to grab that free SVG here.
5. Christmas Countdown Chalkboard – This House is under Elf Surveillance
I tell my kids that Santa has the elves man the Santa Cam sometimes so he can get other stuff done. So this cute little chalkboard is the perfect addition to our holiday decor.
This was another really simple project. I picked these chalkboards up at Walmart in the craft section. I created a quick design, added my vinyl, and was done with them in under 15 minutes!
You can grab that free design here.
6. Fly like Ruldolph shirt
So this design is a tribute to my inner 90s child when we called everything “Fly” but it’s also something I think my youngest kiddo will really rock!
You can also grab this freebie here.
7. Merry Christmas – Ya Filthy Animal Reverse Canvas
Here’s another 90’s throwback. We adore the movie Home Alone around this house. My girls have watched it a thousand times.
I know this line actually comes from a real movie, but I’ve forever associated it with Home Alone. This merry little sign will be adorning my walls this Christmas.
It was also super easy to make! If you haven’t made a reverse canvas, be sure to check out my tutorial. The only thing I did differently for this one is paint it red instead of staining.
8. Dear Santa, My Sister Made me Do it Shirt
Here’s another one my oldest will be wearing this Christmas. She loves to blame everything on her little sister. In a few years I’m going to have to make TWO of these shirts.
I also created a brother design for those of you with boys. You can grab both of my free SVGs here.
9. Cookies & Milk for Santa, Carrots for Reindeer
Last year I made a mental note to redo our Santa plate. We always add carrots for the reindeer and Santa likes a LOT of cookies so I thought it would be best to make a set. We will set them out on this same tray for the big guy to enjoy on Christmas Eve.
This was another super easy vinyl project. It took less than 15 minutes total. If you’d like to re-create it, grab my free file here.
10. Dear Santa – Please stop here doormat
I’ve been working to update our outdoor decorations this year and created this ultra cute coir doormat for our front door!
Doormats can be an overwhelming idea but they are actually relatively easy, though a little time consuming. I have a step-by-step doormat tutorial to walk you through it.
