Beautiful Christmas trees with twinkling lights, steaming mugs of hot chocolate, prettily wrapped gifts, the sound of carolers, a roaring fire. Christmas is almost here, so get ready to embrace the season by decorating your home using the top Christmas DIY trends 2025.

If you are looking for holiday DIY ideas, read on. We’ll tell you what the top trends are and how you can use them when crafting.

Eco-Friendly Crafting

Caring for the environment is a pressing issue today, and most people are concerned that our actions are harming the habitat. This year, Christmas crafting is focusing on sustainable, natural, and recyclable materials. Not only does this mean that we’re not creating more garbage, but, by crafting together, we can enjoy the experience with family and friends.

DIY Ideas for Sustainability

1. Recyclable Wreaths: If you like to hang a Christmas wreath on your front door don’t go out and buy one. All you will need to buy is a wreath ring and then you can forage for everything else. Pick some green foliage such as pine, moss and magnolia leaves, berries, twigs, and pine cones. If you plan ahead, you can also dry some pretty flowers to put on the wreath.
2. Upcycled Wine Bottles: Paint wine bottles with a Christmas scene and put a battery light inside them or a candle.
3. Christmas Collages: Cut up last year’s Christmas cards to make a Christmas collage that you can hang on the wall, or use the cards to make gift tags for presents.
4. Paper Garlands:Make your own garlands with paper snowflakes. Another idea for a garland is to string popcorn and alternate each piece with a cranberry.
5. Recyclable old wood:Get an old piece of wood and paint a Christmas sign on it, such as ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Welcome to our home this holiday season.’ If you are feeling particularly creative, you can also paint a picture of a reindeer or Santa Claus.

Rolife and Eco-friendly Kits  

If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about purchasing a Rolife DIY kit for Christmas. Rolife DIY kits are crafted with environmentally friendly materials, like Russian basswood, and come in recyclable packaging. Here are some kits for your Christmas decoration:

• Christmas Indoor Scene
• Christmas Melody Tree

Vintage-Inspired Crafts

Nostalgia is a strong influence on festive DIY ideas in 2025. Everyday problems, such as the high cost of living, have made people remember the good old days. This can evoke a feeling of warmth and sentiment.

Ideas For Vintage-Inspired Crafts

1. Handmade Christmas tree ornaments made out of paper, cardboard, or wood.
2. Make snowmen out of socks, sewing on beads for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Candy canes can be made from pipe cleaners. All you have to do is thread red and white beads alternately onto the pipe cleaners.
4. Make potpourri out of dried orange slices and pine cones for a Christmassy smell. Add dried cranberries, cinnamon sticks, and dried cloves for extra scents.
5. Get some mason jars and fill them with battery-operated twinkling lights for a rustic feel.
6. Make a wreath out of either dried apple slices or dried orange slices or both.

Rolife Christmas Kit for Nostalgia  

Colors can depict an old-world holiday scene. Greens and reds are the best colors to remind you of Christmases past. The Rolife DIY Miniature House Christmas Fireplace is the perfect example of a traditional Christmas. By using greens and reds as the dominant colors, you are transported to Christmas as it once was.

And who do the red boots belong to? Could Santa have forgotten them? Maybe you could crochet a Father Christmas to put outside the miniature house.

When looking for more holiday DIY ideas that are traditional, the Rolife 3D Wooden Puzzle - Christmas Melody Tree fits the bill perfectly. The music box plays Christmas tunes that you will remember from when you were young, such as  Deck the Halls and Jingle Bells, encouraging you to sing along.

Soft Pastels

While tradition is very popular this Christmas, pastels are also going to play a role this holiday season. If you want something different and a bit whimsical, design alternative Christmas decor that will stand out.

Colors that can be used include candy pink, soft green, gentle blue, and light purple

These colors add a dreamlike quality to a Christmas scene.

Ideas for Pastel-Colored Crafts

1. Make a pastel-colored wreath out of pom poms that you have made yourself. Another idea is to make one out of moss, sage greenery, and dried flowers in pastel shades.
2. Make Christmas tree ornaments out of wood or cardboard and paint them in pastel shades.
3. Paper chains are simple to make, and while one on its own may seem lost in a large room, if you make lots of them, using blues and greens, they will look effective. It is a great craft to start your young children working on.  

Rolife and A Different Christmas

With a few changes, the Rolife DIY Book Nook Insert - Christmas Indoor Scene can be made to look a little different from a nostalgic Christmas. The front is a darker shade of pink, which you could paint a little lighter to give it a more modern look. You could also change the color of the wreath at the top of the house to pastel shades.

However, inside the book nook, the colors are already subdued, and there are snowflakes and a snowman on the outside.

Add a couple of miniature people to the scene, dressed in pastel colors and carrying gifts. This will add to the holiday atmosphere. You can micro-crochet the people and the gifts so that you can choose the color of yarn you want. If you aren’t any good at crocheting, you can make them out of cardboard.

Zen Designs

Mindfulness and meditation are becoming popular, so why not create a Christmas Zen garden to calm you down when the busy pace of Christmas becomes too much? This is already becoming a popular Christmas DIY trend for 2025. Such a scene will calm and relax you after a hard day at work.      

Ideas for a Zen Christmas

Zen means minimalist, so you don’t need to make too many decorations. Make a wreath for your front door or garlands for inside. Use soothing and cooling colors. Blue is perfect as it relates to the sea and the sky. Green is associated with nature, and sage grey is gentle so both are suitable  

When crafting for a Zen household, use natural materials, such as cotton, linen, and wool. They will help you to meditate and focus on self-care..

Personalized Crafts

Another Christmas DIY trend for 2025 is personalizing your Christmas crafts.

DIY Ideas

1. Sew names on Christmas stockings to hang over your fireplace.
2. Make Christmas cards and gift tags.
3. Monogram a Christmas cushion.
4. Make a Christmas tree ornament and write your friend’s name on it. This would make the perfect gift. You can make the ornaments out of cardboard, wood, or felt.
5. Make personalized coasters out of cork.

Rolife Kits for Personalization

Micro-crochet figures or cardboard miniatures can be combined with Rolife kits for a personal holiday scene.
