I’d buy one!

Woodworking enthusiast Paul told Bored Panda that making your own Christmas ornaments is "a great way to give the holidays a personal touch."

"So much of the holidays is about buying, so it's great to create. The main thing to keep in mind is that you're doing this for fun, and for family, so be kind to yourself. Making memories can be messy, and those imperfections show this is a labor of love," he said.

"As far as essential tools go, the only requirements are time and creativity. DIY ornaments can be extremely complex, or exceedingly simple. The goal should be to have fun with the process, and enjoy your own creativity. Laser engravers and wood lathes cost a lot of money, and can produce great results. But a wood round and paint can be just as good, if not better," Paul gave some advice.

That takes some skill.

"If you are interested in making your own wooden ornaments, just remember to be patient. No one picks up a hobby and immediately succeeds. I know it's tempting to look at Pinterest, and try to perfectly recreate a project, but these things take time to learn. There are often classes you can find online or just YouTube videos from passionate crafters that you can follow," the woodworker told Bored Panda.

"Chances are you are going to fail if you try something too complicated. That's why Regretsy, Pinterest Fails, and even the Netflix show Nailed It exist. Creating is an involved process. And honestly? Failing can be as fun as it is frustrating. There's nothing quite as unique as a failed craft project. Just remember that you are creating memories, no matter what the end result looks like."

This is so cute!! You could have a new business!

Finally, Bored Panda wanted to get woodworker Paul's opinion about some quintessential Christmas decorations that no home would feel right without.

"I would say a tree is synonymous with Christmas for me, but I have cats. We have a new kitten, so even though my wife and I have a tradition of making turned wooden ornaments, and now laser engraved ones too, we know the tree would be on the floor in a matter of minutes. So I would actually have to go with stockings. They're simple, iconic, and relatively cat-proof. Plus they hold gifts! And who doesn't love those?"

Imitation is the best form of flattery, so don't feel shy about taking a tad of inspiration from some of these photos this year, dear Pandas. There's nothing like witnessing a dash of out-of-the-box thinking to get your creative juices flowing.

What's most important is that you and your nearest and dearest love how your home looks. There's really not much sense to put a ton of pressure on yourself and cater to others just for the sake of likes on social media. You do you, no matter how refined or quirky your sense of style.

I love that!

At the end of the day, you really won't be able to please everybody with how you decorate your home. Someone might have an issue with the fact that you’ve chopped down an Xmas tree and propped it up in your living room.

Someone else might find your color choice for your baubles not to be in line with what's stylish this year. And others might take issue with your hand-made ornaments because they value a different aesthetic.

In short, if you try to please everyone, you’ll end up pleasing nobody. Cater to your own tastes. Make decorations that will bring a smile to your parents’, partner's, and kids’ faces. Set your inner Santa's Workshop elf loose!

The beauty of it all is that there are so many different ways to be creative. The sky's the limit (and if you’ve got access to Santa's sleigh, you might go even higher). You can use a very wide range of materials for your Xmas ideas: from cloth and wire to cardboard and wood and beyond. It all comes down to how imaginative you are… and how dextrous your hands are.

I took a strip of cardboard off an old amazon box and covered it in tin foil after pre-folding it into 4 equal lengths. Taped it together and I had a square-shaped tube. Then I put the pic in the back, adjusted it to perfection way too long and taped it in place. Cut out the hand on another copy of the pic and taped it to a tiny piece of thicker paper junk mail with a long tale that goes under the pic and is taped behind him. Next I took a pen and poked a hole in between McClane and his hand and shoved a Christmas light into it. When I was all done I noticed the light was sneaking in above and below the picture. It really bothered me so I made an additional square for the back, covered it in a tin fold and taped it on. The last step was shoving a paperclip into the top to hang it from the tree.

You might not be able to get the result you imagined the very first time you sit down to do some DIY, but it's important to keep at it. Watch some how-to videos on YouTube, search the internet for some guides, and come back to the challenge well-rested and raring to go.

So cute! I think our cats would want to steal these and play with them.

Of course, decorations are great, but they’re just the surface. The holiday season is about more than aesthetics—though a feast for the eyes can boost our mood.

Kindness, hope, charity, family, and love—this is what the holidays are all about. Human beings are hardwired for socializing, helping others, and even gift-giving: our brains reward us for these behaviors. However, it's not just our biology that's at play. How we’re raised also impacts how we view altruism and empathy.

"We also do good turns because we know that one day we may be in need of a little 'generosity from the universe,' so it's like putting 'money' into a karma account. Lastly, humans are wired so that when we do something kind for another, we feel good about ourselves and neurotransmitters like endorphins and oxytocin have been shown to get a boost when we do something good for another," she said.

"It is through cooperation that society functions, so the survival of the human race depends on being willing to help others. Family values, spiritual beliefs, and biology all play a part in this motivation," the professor told us previously.

"Many of us take pride in being of service to others as it is culturally valued and we want to hold significance in our worlds. So when we do good deeds, we show others our willingness to help those in distress/need; we live out faith-based encouragement to treat others the way we would like to be treated, we uphold family values, and our brains get a positive jolt of happiness when we help others."

The door is approximately 20-25 centimeters tall. The stone parts were sculpted from Finnfoam and the door was from foam rubber, window frames are ice cream sticks. There is a piece of hardboard on the backside for support. The cat, doorknob and plant pot are silk clay and Fimo clay. The little pine tree and Christmas wreath I made of artificial flower parts. Painted the view in the window with acrylics.

"Instead of scratch building every single detail of the other buildings, I opted for modular facades from woodland scenics for the windows and doors. These were pretty close to downtown Truckee. Everything is made of styrene. I bought styrene sheets in flat and brick molds for walls and other little details. I had to kitbash the white building with styrene brick sheets that I cut to match the modular pieces of the other buildings. After I cut out the "Cafe" wording on some red sticker tape that came included, I simply plugged it into a battery source and it lit up. I installed a smoke unit in the rex hotel chimney. Looks pretty real."

The time is always right for embroidery. One has to start early because it takes its time. And that's the part of its charm, you can't rush it if you want the best result.

So much talent and creativity! I'm proud of all of these crafters and their designs.

All so clever ! Merry Christmas from New Zealand my friends x

Merry Christmas to you, too, Juliet :)

Merry Christmas, Juliet! I would love to visit your beautiful country!! :)

I've been doing illustrations on wrapped presents for the last 5ish years.It's fun but takes ages and I have to have all my shopping done by almost the 1st week of December so that I have time to wrap and paint everything :) The HoHoHo is my favorite so far this year, and I got the idea off a yard display :) 20221213_2...fc2c9f.jpg

This is fantastic, Shay! Thanks for sharing :)

this snowmen beach volleyball game was my favorite from last year :) 20211222_2...785d7a.jpg

You should be among these Christmas designs... Beautiful work.

Thank you! That is so sweet!
