Bring some creative magic to your holiday decorating this year with our handcrafted Christmas décor. Embrace the festive season with these unique, yet simple, pieces that are made from the heart and a great activity to do with kids.

Content creator, Rani @raniengineer shares how she makes her adorable Christmas village vases, using budget-friendly materials, as well as her favourite way to style them to bring a little magic to your home.

To make this holiday season your most creative one yet, you will need:

• Clear vases (various sizes for a clustered look)
• Clay Houses
• Small house-shaped cookie cutters
• LED fairy lights
• Cooking salt
• Hot glue gun
• Mini Christmas trees, faux twigs, ornaments, + other mini decorations
• Ribbon

How to build your village

1. Fill the base of each vase with the cooking salt.
2. Add in the LED fairy lights and push some into the salt, so they are covered.
3. Start adding in your ornaments. Give each vase a theme such as mini village clay houses, or a snowy Christmas tree farm.
4. Leave the vases open or create a lid with a round wooden disk and Christmas tree ornament. Add a ribbon for that festive touch.
5. For a beautiful display, group two or three vases of different heights to create a glowing Christmas street scene.

Create your very own Christmas village vases by heading in-centre to shop for everything you need.
