Christmas decor comes in a wide range of styles. Some decorations are cute, some are classy, and some are, well… I’ll say it: ugly. Sadly a lot of do-it-yourself decorations can fall into this last category, but I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve found 81 examples of stylish Christmas decor that you can make yourself (and proudly display when you’re done).
