Amazing Things to Make at Home for Christmas 2024

If you're not the crafty type, thinking about DIY Christmas decorations might take you outside your comfort zone – but actually, there are some amazing things to make at home for Christmas with virtual classes and craft kits. Whether you’re looking for some DIY Christmas gift ideas or you want to decorate your home with things you've made from scratch, a little creativity will go a long way, and could even save you money in the long run!

If the idea of traipsing around the shops at Christmas doesn’t fill you with much joy, we recommend chilling out and getting cosy and finding fun things to do at home. The beauty about discovering things to make at home at Christmas is that you’ll be able to spend quality time with your loved ones rather than being stuck in traffic trying to get to a Christmas workshop. 

Are you working across the festive season? Perhaps you've just moved to a completely different country and you're going to be separated from your loved ones this year? If your yearly traditions of going to some lovely Christmas classes with your loved ones have been put on hold, don't worry – you can still get festive with your nearest and dearest with our online classes and DIY kits. Although going to in-person Christmas classes might fill you with festive vibes, it doesn’t mean you won’t feel the same doing online Christmas classes – plus you'll be able to fit way more in, as there's no time spent travelling to and from the session. Win!

If you're looking to spread a little Christmas spirit, our online classes also make great experience gifts for her, him... for everyone! Show your great mate how much she means to you with an indulgent online candle making class, let Pops perfect his pastry from the comfort of his own kitchen at a brilliant baking class hosted via Zoom or turn your sister into the next Picasso with an online painting class. Whether you want to learn how to create your own Christmas decorations or find the perfect gift experiences for Mum, our online classes are just what you've been looking for!

Take part in an online Christmas wreath making class 

Thought you had to go to a workshop or studio to take part in an online Christmas wreath making class? Think again. These classes are one of the most festive ways you can get right into the heart of the Christmas spirit. Whether you’re living with friends, family or on your own, you can simply choose a wreath making class to take part in over the Internet. This frees up options for your loved ones who don’t live with you to take part too. 

The beauty about this craft is that you can opt to create a dried flower wreath which will last a lifetime, so you can use the same wreath to put with your other sentimental Christmas decorations. Wreaths are also really versatile and not just used as your front door decoration. Hang your wreath on your wall, on a mirror or on your fireplace to build a more festive home during the Christmas period. 

We’ll send you a Christmas wreath kit so you’ll have the same tools and materials you would have had access to if you were taking part in the class in person. When you log on via Zoom, you’ll find other like-minded people and a local British wreath making expert ready to get started. Throughout the class, you’ll be able to ask the teacher questions so you can make the most out of the Christmas wreath workshop. 
 

Make your own Christmas baubles 

For many, a Christmas tree is full of memories which come to life in the form of baubles collected over the years. Some people collect Christmas baubles from places they’ve visited on their holidays to remind them of their best memories during the most festive time of the year. And as your Christmas tree takes centre stage in any home, you want to make sure you’ve got the prettiest tree on the street. 

If you take pride in your Christmas tree, rather than buying another Christmas bauble, why not make your own this year in an online Christmas bauble workshop. This is a fantastic way to bring your family together as you create another beautiful memory to add to your tree collection. 

If you’re looking for things to make at home for Christmas, we’ll send you one of our Christmas bauble kits which will come in the form of a beautifully made Christmas craft box, delivered to your door before the class starts. You’ll then have the teacher on Zoom who will show you everything you need to do to create your very own Christmas baubles. 

Not sure the man in your life is big on baubles? Discover many alternatives with our London gift experiences for him. 

Making Christmas decorations at home can be a bit overwhelming, especially if it's the all-important table centrepiece. When you want to create a beautiful table for Christmas lunch, you need to make sure there's enough space for the food and decorations to co-exist on the table – so design is super important. 

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make a cracking Christmas table your friends and family will be envious of, you can easily learn the secrets in an online festive floristry workshop. Expect to be taught how to create beautiful flower arrangements in our virtual Christmas class so you’ll know how to make tree-mendous table toppers every single year. 

Don’t worry if you don’t have time to purchase the flowers or foliage to participate in this online class, as you won't need to. We’ll send you a Christmas craft kit packed with everything you need which will be delivered straight to your front door. You’ll then just need to log onto Zoom to find other like-minded classmates and an expert British craft teacher to guide you on your festive floral journey. You’ll be able to answer questions during the one hour class and gain plenty of skills to show friends and family how to make gorgeous table arrangements. 

Whether you’re looking for things to do at Christmas or ways to connect with loved ones across the miles, you can find plenty of our online classes to keep you entertained during the Christmas period.
