Holiday decorations can get seriously expensive and kind of tacky if you buy them in big box stores. Why not warm up those hands, break out the craft bin and make your own? You might be surprised by how not-kitsch they turn out.

LOVE the pine cone snowflake! That's going on my weekend projects list.

Love these!
I have a tutorial for Christmas Spiders, another easy, fun Christmas ornament:

The wreath in number 6 is pretty horrifying...
However, I agree that the pine cone snowflake is lovely and number 1 is cute, too.
I think the wreath in 6 looks awesome!
One of my favorite transformations was to take some store-bought glass ball ornaments (mine were matte finish peach colored ones from the Martha Stewart line at K-Mart, years ago, but almost anything not too shiny would work...) I glued on flat-backed rhinestones from a craft store in multi-colors, scattered randomly around the globes, and then replaced the hanging hooks with soft gold ribbon to tie them onto the branches. Simple, cheap to do, and they LOOKED very expensive!
