Christmas is the season for family and friends. And DIY projects that come out sparkling and beautiful. Unfortunately, I am a bit DIY challenged. Give me a glue gun and I will have 10 burned fingers within 30 seconds and I just might be glued to the wall. Glitter? One small bottle will envelope my house in a cloud of fairy dust that I will still be vacuuming up in July.

Regardless, every Christmas I think "This year will be different. Surely I'm not THAT hopeless." An hour later when I am glued to the wall covered in glitter, I realize the error in my ways. This year, though, a little Christmas miracle happened. I actually made a DIY Christmas wreath that looks good. There were burned fingers and it doesn't even call for glitter. Maybe I've broken my DIY curse? Or maybe, as my father-in-law likes to say "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes". Either way I will take it.

So here are some DIY Christmas Decoration ideas that even the DIY challenged like me can handle. Good luck!
