How are the holiday preparations going? Are there enough ornaments on the tree? Figured out the perfect gift for your sister? Not yet? Then skip the long shopping lines and set aside a few minutes this weekend to DIY one of these rad projects. We’ve got every category covered, from funfetti treats and mulled wine to stylish pumps and *super* stylish onesies. Oh yeah, we’re classy like that.
1. Ugly Sweater Onesie: Ugly sweaters have actually gotten pretty hip, which is why you need to take things up a level if you want to win that party contest. A full onesie covered in holiday feels? It’s so ugly it’s cute. (via Brit + Co)
2. Funfetti Gingerbread House: Nix the traditional gingerbread and make a house out of something infinitely more delicious. Or make both. (via Studio DIY)
3. Confetti Christmas Trees: Raise your hand if you love untangling string lights. No hands? Leave those massive knots in their boxes and set up a collection of these candy-inspired trees instead. (via Sugar and Cloth)
4. DIY Batik Indigo Stockings: Goodbye red and green, hello lovely indigo. Spruce up your mantel with a brand new color this year and charm your loved ones with handmade stockings. (via Brit + Co)
5. Mulled Wine: It sounds super fancy, but mulled wine is easy to make and can be tweaked to your exact taste. Plus it smells delicious while it’s brewing away on the stove. (via A Beautiful Mess)
6. Wrapping Paper Wall Tree: Take the paper chain idea vertical with this super easy tree DIY. Seriously, if you can tape paper together, you can have this tree up in less time than it takes you to choose your favorite holiday song. (via Brit + Co)
7. Balloon Animal Ornament: True, they’d look great on a kid’s tree, but that’s no reason you can’t add a few of these awesome ornaments to the adult tree. Nothing says “mature adult” like a balloon animal or four. (via Little Inspiration)
8. Mindy Kaling’s Moschino Pumps: Stop trying to find the perfect pair of shoes to go with your holiday outfit and DIY a pair instead. (via Brit + Co)
9. DIY Tinsel Ornaments: Give those tinsel garlands a much-needed modern makeover and turn them into sparkling balls of joy. Hang them on the tree with colorful ribbon or string them together for some serious swag. (via Design Improvised)
10. Desktop Calendar: Got a friend that always remembers a birthday? Gift them this cheery desk calendar that goes from year to year without skipping a beat. (via Brit + Co)
11. Jingle Door Bell: Make those jingle bells rock with this bright + beautiful DIY. You’ll feel like you are back in grade school whipping up those coveted friendship bracelets in no time. (via Brit + Co)
