The next decoration is puristic. Use the templates at the end of the article to make beautiful little houses out of cardboard. Cut out the windows and doors with a craft knife and fold the houses together. Then glue the summit roofs in place. Put an LED tea light in each house.

The sparkling Christmas decoration for the windowsill is ready.
Decorative wooden birdhouses can be designed differently depending on the season. They are also suitable as Christmas decorations. Paint decorative houses of different sizes in different colors, sprinkle the roofs with glitter and arrange decorative figures around the house. You can also decorate the house with a golden bow. The decorative birdhouses can be hung up or arranged on a chest of drawers together with decorative Christmas trees. Instead of artificial snow, you can drape a cozy white bedspread.
This craft idea is also a great DIY project for families with children. The houses can be painted with both water and acrylic paints. Even children of kindergarten age can easily cope with the task.
As far as the decoration is concerned, there are no limits to your own creativity.
Do you have a small, empty niche and would like to set up creative Christmas decorations there? Then you can arrange a Christmas village there. The individual decorative houses are particularly effective in wine boxes. The wine boxes also serve as room dividers. You can arrange a different scene in each wine box.
A Christmas village creates a distinctive atmosphere at home. With the self-made decoration you create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The small decorative houses are guaranteed to increase the anticipation of the festivities. The handicrafts have a relaxing effect and can relieve stress after a long day at work. It's also a good thing to do for families with children on rainy weekends. Crafting a Christmas village also gives parents the opportunity to tell the children more about the traditions. Singing Christmas carols together, reading Christmas stories or simply adding a little something to the decoration every day until Christmas - Christmas time is family time.
