Farmhouse Christmas Decor – Rustic Crates

I love to do DIY decor. Especially Christmas decorations! It’s a good way to save money and you can customize it just how you want it. And if you love the farmhouse-style decor, this idea is the perfect addition! This year I wanted to make something with a rustic feel. Not fussy or elaborate, just simple and neutral. Check out my new Farmhouse Christmas Decor!

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Decor

I wanted something new to add to my decor this year, but I don’t want to spend a fortune on decorations. These are fun, simple, and inexpensive!

Supplies

• 2 mini crates (thanks to Walnut Hollow for providing these!)
• 2 miniature trees – any kind or style you like –similar ones found here
• Decorative lights (optional) like these
• 2 Chunky wooden ornaments (similar ones found here)
• Hot Glue Gun or another strong adhesive
• Paint/Stain (I used dark walnut, but anything you like will work)

Here’s what I started with:

With a few simple steps and my rustic farmhouse crates are ready for Christmas!

• Paint or stain your crates if you’d like. I used some white craft paint in my stash and lightly covered the inside and outside of both crates
• Stain or paint your wooden ornaments
• My trees had a red ribbon around them which I replaced with twine
• Hot glue your ornament to the crate or you could stencil a design- whatever you want
• I used lights with mine so I strung them through the back of the crate and piled them on the inside. I wrapped one around my tree ornament to look like a star

And that’s it! So easy and fast and they turned out super cute!

And here’s my Farmhouse Christmas Decor!
