Easy and Beautiful Dollar Tree DIY Christmas Porch Decorations

Are you looking for DIY Christmas porch decorations? I have several easy and beautiful creations you can make with items from Dollar Tree.

One of my favorite things is to come up with creative ideas I can incorporate into my Christmas decorating. In today’s post, I am going to show you how to make some front porch Christmas decorations. These oversized ornaments make the perfect DIY Christmas decor to get you in the spirit of Christmas.

DIY Christmas Porch Decorations Materials

For this project, you’re going to need plastic bowls. I got these at the dollar store, but you can also find something similar at hobby lobby or a local craft store.

• 6 plastic bowls
• 3 small cups
• spray paint
• Folk Art Treasure Gold
• Fix All Super Glue
• Twine
• Embellishments

DIY Christmas Porch Decorations instructions

1. Spray Paint the Bowls and cups

We’re going to start by removing the labels from all the bowls.

I’m going to use white Rust-Oleum spray paint that is paint and primer.

I’m going to paint two of the bowls white, two bowls green, and two bowls red. I will let all of these dry completely before moving on to the next step.

I’m going to spray paint three small cups silver as well.

2. Paint the accents of the bowls

For this next step, I’ll be using folk art treasure gold paint. I’m going to use my finger to add accents. I’m just going to have fun building these accents by adding paint into all the grooves to add a little shimmer. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It’s kind of therapeutic actually. So I will add accents to the white, red, and green bowls.

Here they are all finished and now I’m going to let them all dry.

3. Drill the holes

Now I’m going to drill a hole through the top of each bowl, just three of them, one for each ornament. I will also drill a hole in the top of each of the silver cups.

4. Glue the bowls together

Next I will take super glue and put some around all of the edges and then take the other bowl with the hole side up and I set it on top. I want the edges to match so that they have a nice flat surface.

5. Add the twine to hang the bulbs

I’ve tied a knot in some twine and I’m going to stick the strings in and push the knot down through the hole then add a little bit of glue to secure it into place.

I’m going to take the other end of the twine and stick it through the hole of the silver cup and pull it through.

6. Hot glue the embellishments and final touches

I will use my glue gun to add a little hot glue to help hold this little cup in place.

Next, I’ve got a little decoration to add to the top. You can really add anything to your ornaments; jingle bells, fresh greenery, fairy lights, string lights, Christmas lights or red berries. The possibilities are endless.

Now they’re all finished and ready to be hung.

I hung them in my front porch, and there are many places you can hang these full large Christmas ornaments.
