Christmas in July Ideas to Make Now
I know it’s warm outside, but now is the perfect time for Christmas in July ideas. I’m excited to share some DIY ideas you can make right now!
While Christmas may seem far away, in reality, it is only 148 days away. Get a jump start on some Christmas crafts so that you can sail into the holiday season with some new crafts to decorate with! We will be sharing Christmas in July Ideas for two days this week. And then August will be here!



Christmas Crafts in July

Every July, when I start seeing Christmas in July posts, I usually think, “No! The last thing I want to think about is Christmas!”. As expected, I had that thought a few weeks ago.
But then I started thinking. If I made two Christmas crafts for each month, July through November, I would have ten, yes TEN new holiday crafts to share for the holidays.
Now that caught my attention! I have already started creating my project idea list, and even though you won’t see any crafts for five months, you can know that I will be secretly crafting behind the scenes.
(It’s just like the book I wrote that I kept a secret for 18 months … hehehe.)
I went through my holiday crafts and picked out some of my favorites for you to make. I hope they stir your DIY creative interest!
A DIY Christmas Pillow

This DIY Christmas Pillow is one of my favorite crafts. It is incredibly easy to make, requires minimal supplies, and you will be amazed at how many people comment on how cute it is! Click here for the full DIY.

Personalized Placemats for Christmas Dinner

For these personalized placemats, I wanted to create a Christmas Dinner table with a personal flair. I created these customized placemats by adding words to Christmas carols on them. You can personalize yours however you like. These were fun and easy to make!

I adore mercury glass. I used clear glass ornaments and Looking Glass paint to make these mercury glass ornaments. They were fun to make and look so fancy!
Pinecone Christmas Trees

These pinecone Christmas trees are another easy-to-make craft. I can think of a million places to place them. What about you?
Favorite Flocked Christmas Tree Craft

This craft is so much fun! Making these “flocked” trees is a throwback to elementary school, and I love how they sparkle when they catch the light. This one is great to make with your children or grandchildren!

I don’t see any information on where you got your needlepoint stockings from. Can you please let me know?
I love your craft ideas and was getting ready to subscribe to your blog—and then I saw you’re affiliated with a mega control freak known as Google. Sorry
How do you make the glitter Christmas tree ornament?
The Mercury glass one? That is linked in the post!
Where is the link to make the tree skirt?
Love these ideas…when I checked out the mercury glass ornaments (I love mercury glass, too), the tutorial for making them wasn’t there — but rather a message saying that it as no longer available. Can you please repost it?? I want to give it a try!
I can do Christmas in July here in Texas! Would love, love for you to create a Christmas card, I know you would have so many wonderful ideas. Those white, flocked trees are my aim this year, they are timeless and would make great gifts.
I ordered the placemats & picked out Christmas carol phrases, but having trouble picking out a font! Can you please tell me which one you used in your placemats! Thanks!
