Book Description

There is something about wood that is so homey and warm it makes for wonderful decor, especially during the holidays. And let's be honest, aside from the smell of Christmas trees, there aren't many scents more wonderful than fresh sawdust. But you don't have to be a wood-smith wonder to make most of these Christmas wood crafts. There are plenty of ideas here you don't even have to break out the table saw or sanding paper to make. Why not give the chalkboard Christmas trees--so funky and fun--a whirl? And the super handy Merry Mail Christmas card holder just requires a little paint and seasonally colorful bakers' twine. Bonus, many of these projects are so simple they are ideal Christmas crafts for kids, which is never a bad thing. But we know that some of you love a bigger project and want to seriously get your DIY on, so we've rounded up some Christmas wood crafts that you build from scratch, including a reclaimed wood Christmas tree and star, a perfect Christmas porch decoration, and a super cute snowflake wall shelf you won't want to take down even after winter's over. All of them make perfect holiday gifts, too, because what shows you care more than something handmade? If you're still looking for more Yuletide gifts after checking out these cool projects, head over to our list of crafty Christmas presents.
