15 Ideas to Make Outdoor Christmas Decorations

Creating outdoor Christmas decorations can be fun and festive to celebrate holidays and the winter season. Except for Christmas pillows and blankets for your outdoor seating area, here are some creative ideas to inspire you:


1

DIY Lighted Pathway

Decorate your pathway with solar garden lights to create a colorful outdoor display.


2

Giant Ornaments

Paint the big plastic balls or pilates balls in festive colors, attach hooks, and hang them from trees or along your porch.


3

Snowman Family

Paint the wood logs or blocks white and stack them to create snowman bodies. Add hats and scarves for decoration. Alternatively, you can use buckets in different sizes.


4

Wooden Reindeer

Assemble logs and sticks to create reindeer figures for an alternative Christmas decor. Paint them, decorate them with LED lights, and place them in your yard.


5

Christmas Wreaths

Form a wreath with the evergreen branches and wire. Decorate with ribbons, ornaments, and berries.


6

Lighted Garland

Wrap the string lights and greenery together to create a festive garland for your porch or fence.


7

Candy Cane Poles

Paint PVC pipes red or white and cover adhesive tape around them like a candy cane. Alternatively, you can use red pool noodles. Place them along your driveway or walkway.


8

Hanging Lanterns

Place LED lights or candles in mason jars and hang them with ribbon from the ceiling, tree branches, or hooks. Alternatively, you can place them on the staircase or on the porch.


9

Holiday Signpost

Paint the planks with holiday messages and attach them to stakes. Place the signpost in your yard for a rustic Christmas decor.


10

Giant Presents

Wrap large cardboard boxes in festive paper and ribbon. Stack them by your front door as topiaries or under an outdoor tree.


11

Icicle Lights

Hang icicle lights along the roofline or around windows for a winter wonderland effect.


12

Nutcracker Soldiers

Use large cardboard cylinders, attach them, and paint them to resemble nutcracker soldiers. They will look amazing at your entrance.


13

Christmas Tree Planters

Decorate small pine trees in planters with lights and ornaments and place them on your porch.


14

Lighted Topiary

Wrap the wireframe with greenery and lights to create a festive topiary.
