The holiday season is the perfect time to infuse your home with warmth and charm, and what better way to do that than with modern farmhouse décor? Rustic, cozy, and simple, this style brings a sense of comfort to any space. This year, we’ve taken our love for farmhouse decor to new heights by crafting a variety of holiday projects using the versatile Cricut Maker. Join us on a tour of these delightful DIY projects that are sure to add festive flair to your living room.
1. Christmas Tree Charm: Checker-Patterned Banner
No Christmas tree is complete without the perfect finishing touch, and our checker-patterned banner delivers just that. This fun and festive banner drapes gracefully across your tree, adding a rustic vibe to your holiday decor. The banner features two deer panels that interrupt the classic “Fa La La” phrase, giving it a unique farmhouse twist.
To create this banner, we used the Cricut EasyPress 2 and Everyday Iron-On™ to transfer the letters and deer onto fabric panels. Once the panels were ready, we stitched them together and threaded ribbon through the grommet corners to complete the look. The result is a charming banner that perfectly complements the modern farmhouse aesthetic.
2. Sentimental Creations: Handmade Christmas Tree Ornaments
Ornaments hold a special place in holiday decor, often carrying sentimental value that grows with each passing year. This season, we embraced the tradition by crafting a series of unique ornaments using different materials and techniques. From wood and fabric to paper and vinyl, each ornament adds a personalized touch to your tree.
These designs are available in Cricut Design Space, making it easy for you to recreate them at home. Whether you prefer classic shapes or more intricate designs, there’s something for everyone in our collection. Don’t forget to share your favorite ornament in the comments section below!
3. Cozy Mugs: Vinyl-Decorated Holiday Mugs
For those new to Cricut crafting, this project is a perfect introduction. All you need is a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore, some vinyl, and a set of blank white mugs. We used the Cricut Premium Vinyl Nordic Christmas Sampler to create cute and festive patterns that instantly transform ordinary mugs into holiday treasures.
Simply cut the vinyl designs with your Cricut machine and apply them to the mugs. The result is a set of customized mugs that make for great holiday gifts or a cozy addition to your own kitchen.
4. Gift-Giving Delight: Farmhouse Style Gift Tags
Gift wrapping is an art form in itself, and these Farmhouse Style Gift Tags add a touch of rustic charm to your presents. We designed two variations: one featuring a Christmas tree image and another with a bear image. These tags are perfect for adding a personalized touch to your holiday gifts, and the possibilities are endless with the countless images available in Cricut Design Space.
Pair these tags with our other gift wrap projects, such as the Acorn Stamp Gift Wrap and Comfort & Joy Gift Wrap, to create beautifully wrapped presents that reflect the modern farmhouse aesthetic.
5. Paper Craft Perfection: DIY Paper Village
For paper crafting enthusiasts, this project is a must-try. Create a charming paper village to adorn your mantle or table using the Cricut Scoring Wheel for crisp, clean folds. We used colorful Deluxe Paper, Nordic Christmas, and Glitter Cardstock to bring a pop of color to our village.
Once you’ve cut, scored, and glued one house, the rest of the village comes together with ease. This project not only adds a festive touch to your decor but also provides a fun and engaging activity for the whole family.
6. Countdown to Christmas: DIY Advent Calendar
Counting down the days until Christmas is a beloved holiday tradition, and our DIY Advent Calendar makes it even more special. We created a set of twelve boxes with drawers, perfect for hiding small treats or gifts. Each box is embellished with circular count-down labels, making it easy to keep track of the days leading up to Christmas.
Pick up the boxes from your local craft store, and then head to your craft room to personalize them with your Cricut machine. This project adds a playful and interactive element to your holiday decor.
7. Elegant Vinyl-On-Glass Sign
For crafters looking for a sophisticated project, this vinyl-on-glass sign is a stunning addition to your holiday decor. Using transparent glass and natural evergreen accents, this project combines different textures for a beautiful result. We used Cricut Premium Vinyl and applied it to the glass using Transfer Tape and a Scraper Tool. To complete the look, we tied red twine around evergreen sprigs and hung them from the back of the frame.
This elegant sign is perfect for displaying in your entryway or living room, bringing a touch of nature and simplicity to your holiday decor.
8. No-Sew Pillow Project: Deer Head Silhouette
Add a bold pop of color to your holiday decor with this no-sew pillow project. Featuring a striking deer head silhouette, this project is both eye-catching and easy to make. We used the Cricut EasyPress 2 and red Everyday Iron-On to transfer the silhouette onto a checker-patterned throw pillow. To add a unique farmhouse touch, we threaded lengths of yarn through the pillow cover and tied them into a scarf around the deer’s neck.
This project is a great way to bring the modern farmhouse style into your living room while adding a cozy and festive element to your decor.
