A literal take on the Christmas tree skirt, this resourceful project makes clever use of old duds gathering dust in your closet. All you need are two kilts (or other pleated skirts) in complementary colors and a little sewing know-how.
Homemade Bird Seed Ornament
Attract blue jays and goldfinches in winter with this frozen birdseed ornament, adapted from Ernst Kirchsteiger's Swedish Christmas Traditions ($19.95; Skyhorse).
Felt Wreath
Create a playful wreath that will last for years with Pick Up Sticks' poinsettia felting knit kit. Knit a ring of poinsettias with the kit's wreath base, yarn, pattern, and wire. Attach each flower to the wreath's base.
Reinvent the family tree with your favorite black and white snapshots. To make your own photo arrangement, hot-glue a selection of black and white snapshots (or make copies to preserve the originals) to a wire wreath form.
