It’s great fun to decorate your home for the holidays like Christmas and Halloween. Holiday crafts and DIY decor projects are a big part of holiday celebrations. Everyday home accents like decorative candles and wall sconces can be updated for holiday season. Here are some easy crafting projects to add festive cheer to your home decor. Candle Projects Decorative candles are versatile as they are great holiday decor accessories for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and other holidays. Simple white pillar candles can be revamped for the holidays with glitter and glue. For this project, you can use wax decorative candles or battery powered candles. This is a simple holiday crafts project where you can also involve the children in your family. Make sure to use non-toxic glitter and glue to make this project environmentally safe and child-friendly. The first step is to apply an even layer of glue on the candles. You can use a paintbrush to apply glue or use spray adhesives available in crafts stores. If you are using spray adhesives or spray paints for any DIY projects, do so in well-ventilated areas or outdoors as a safety precaution. The next step is to apply a layer of glitter over the candles. To get an even layer of glitter, use a superfine sieve. Pour a small amount of glitter on the sieve and gently dust over the glue-coated candles. Completely coat the candles and let them dry completely before using them. Wall Scone Art Transform all the wall sconces in your home into spooky accents for Halloween or cheerful holiday accessories for Christmas. All you need for this easy crafting project is vellum paper or rice paper and clear tape. Depending on the holiday, print holiday templates and scenes. Trace these holiday-inspired templates onto vellum or rice paper. The idea is to use any type of opaque or translucent paper to create silhouettes. Wrap the opaque paper around the shades of wall sconces with the help of clear tape. When the sconces are lit, these decorated shades will make beautiful holiday-themed shadows. The vellum paper can be easily added and taken down after the holiday season. Transform your home for the holidays with everyday decor accessories and easy crafting ideas.
