DIY outdoor Christmas decorations

[Globetrote]

Has anyone made their own outdoor Christmas decorations or seen a good website for ideas for these please? Excluding wreaths though, and any lights will need to be battery powered.

I find the outdoor decs in shops quite expensive and so I’m looking at what I could do myself on a budget (that won’t look horrendously tacky!). I like traditional-style decs as opposed to super modern styles.

Good idea for a thread.

I usually hang some left over baubles I'm not using on the tree on some twiggy bushes/ small trees up the drive. Usually bronze coloured or something a bit more rustic looking.

I put battery powered timer lights in jam jars and hang them from branches or put on the ground. I like the idea of the baubles too!

We have loads of red baubles that hang on the little tree in the front garden and bushes near the front door. Simple but pretty. I also like the French way with red foil bows and bunches of greenery in random containers and window boxes.
