Making DIY Classy Christmas Decorations

What You'll Need

  • Acrylic Boxes
  • Ornaments
  • Bells
  • Pine cones
  • Ribbon
  • Twinkly lights
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Acrylic Boxed Christmas Decorations

When choosing the perfect acrylic boxed Christmas decorations, consider the following tips:

  • Think about the overall theme you want to create in your holiday decor. This is important - I've seen too many contradicting home decorations that clash with holiday decor because they lack fluidity with each other.
  • Decide a complimentary color palette - traditional red and green, modern silver and white, white and gold, etc.
  • Look for ornaments that complement existing decor.
  • Consider placement so they fit in your space.
  • Select pieces that resonate with you!

There are lots of ideas that will suit any style. So be sure to pick something you love, first and foremost. Then, proceed in creating a cohesive and festive atmosphere in your home.

How to Put Together an Acrylic Christmas Present

Unpack All the Pieces

When assembling these DIY classy Christmas decorations, start by carefully unpacking each piece from the box and laying them out on a clean, flat surface. Make sure all the pieces are accounted for before beginning assembly. You may also want to give your acrylic box a good cleaning before hand. You can touch up fingerprints when it is finished.

Add Lights

For this next step, you will want a small strand of lights. I love using twinkly or fair lights for this. They are pretty small and you can usually find strands that aren't super long with a small battery pack.

Take your strand of lights and place them inside your acrylic clear box. You will move these around somewhat once your ornaments or trinkets are placed inside.

Add Ornaments to Display Box

Now you can add any ornaments or whatever decor you have picked to display. Ornaments are perfect for this because they can be pretty cheap, or you can even make some classy ones yourself like I did. See my velvet ornaments or these beautiful metallic painted ones.

Finish Off the Container

For my finishing touches, I like to add a ribbon and stack my containers. I used a flat ribbon without a bow for the base. This way it will stack more easily with the top container.

See? Stack your second box neatly on top of the first. You don't have to include everything in this first display. You can even change up what items you want to display. I used bells to go on top of my ornaments.

Display your Decorations

After assembling your acrylic Christmas present, you can move on to creatively displaying it in your home. Displays can range from simple tabletop arrangements to more elaborate centerpiece designs. Experiment with different heights, textures, and colors to create a visually stunning presentation that will enhance your holiday decor.

  • Mix and match different sizes and shapes to create a dynamic visual impact, or cluster them together for a cohesive statement piece.
