Mini shipping pallet DIY ideas

Reclaim old pallets to create your next DIY piece! The material is EXTREMELY durable and if you are salvaging the stuff, you're keeping it out of the landfill. You can make use of the material without having to do a big build. Here are a few small and chic project ideas for the small-space dwellers among us. Because you are awesome.

DIY Christmas Wreaths Prettier Than Anything In the Store

Easy Snowman Wreath

It takes just minutes to create this wintry wreath. And, because it’s not Christmas-specific, Frosty can stay on your door well into the New Year. For a personal touch, let the kids help to create the washi tape nose, hat, and scarf.

Just like the snowman wreath, we can create so many other things. Just check out a few photos.

HOW TO DECORATE A CHRISTMAS TREE

RICH TRADITION

Cosy up with classic charm (above)
*Stick to rich red as your dominant colour and add painted wooden decorations and embroidered fabric pieces.
*Revel in nostalgia with familiar festive motifs such as candy canes, nutcrackers, gingerbread men and robins.
*For a cosy feel, mix in tartan baubles and wrap the tree base in tartan fabric.
*Pop a large bow on top of your tree in place of a fairy or star tree topper.
*Quick chic: tie big bows of red ribbon onto branches. Space them evenly across your tree for the best effect.

OLD GOLD

Muted metallics lend an aura of glamorous faded grandeur
*Create an elegant effect by using old gold with bronzes, pewters and natural touches.
*Before hanging your baubles, drape your tree in beaded trims. This will give a glittering base to which you can add detail.
*Look out for baubles with geometric and faceted shapes to lend the scheme extra detail.
*Introduce natural motifs such as acorns and birds – they provide a lovely contrast to the glamorous gold elements.
*Quick chic: silk tassels add to the luxe look.

SIMPLE SCANDI

Celebrate the festive season in Nordic country style
*Choose hearts, stars and woodland motifs in a palette of bright red and pure white.
*Laser-cut designs add an element of intricate pattern.
*Choose lights that make a statement in their own right, like bells and woven ball lights.
*For a quirky feature, stack gifts on a wooden sled at the base of the tree.
*Soften the look with knitted and felt designs.
*Quick chic: use stylish gift tags as an inexpensive alternative to baubles.

PRETTY VINTAGE

Go retro with a sprinkle of nostalgic magic
*Choose dusky, faded pastels, rather than sugary-sweet shades, for a pretty effect that’s sophisticated too.
*Mercurised glass is a key element to this look.
*Introduce whimsical touches, such as swans or peacocks.
*A few heirloom-style pieces, such as hanging snow globes and teardrop baubles, will give the impression of vintage treasures.
*Quick chic: twinkling beaded tree lights will bring this look alive.
