1. DIY Snow Globe Jars

Vintage car ornaments make these DIY snow globe jars very retro, but you could use any old ornaments if you aren’t into the car scene. You can pick up the jars at any Dollar Store for a dollar or two each and then just add the fake snow, maybe a tiny tree or two, and your ornaments. You could also fill them with pinecones, burlap, and other retro-looking items.

2. Wire Basket Tree

This simple decoration is absolutely gorgeous. You just take a small tree, living or artificial, and place it inside a wire basket. Light it up with clear lights, and it gives you that rustic farmhouse look instantly. This is honestly one of the easiest ways to bring the country look into your Christmas décor, and it makes such an elegant statement!

3. Rustic Stairway Décor

I love the look of this vintage enamelware with sprigs of juniper. You can go outside and grab a few twigs from your evergreen tree if you have one. Not only do these look gorgeous, but they smell fabulous as well. If you don’t have vintage vases or pitchers, you can likely pick them up at a flea market or thrift store really cheaply. The metal ones are absolutely perfect for that farmhouse look!

4. Vintage Candy Jars

So, these little jars can be picked up at the Dollar Tree (where everything is just a dollar, by the way). You can get the candies from the Dollar Tree or the Dollar Store. The combination of rustic-looking candy jars and the red and white stripes from the peppermint candies gives you the perfect country Christmas look, don’t you think?

5. DIY Burlap Bow

Ok, so no matter what you plan to decorate, adding this beautiful burlap bow will instantly give it a farmhouse look. I love everything burlap, and this bow is perfect for the top of the tree or your front door wreath. Plus, it’s really easy to make. You could make smaller versions and have them all over the house. Do a few in red and in traditional burlap brown.

6. DIY Window Display

How gorgeous is this old window turned stocking holder? I love the ornaments hung in it, and it works as a stocking holder whether you have a fireplace or not. If you don’t have a mantel, just hang it on the wall. It will still give the room that rustic country look, and you’ve got a unique way to hang stockings! Just grab an old window and get started.

7. Painted Mason Jar Centerpiece

Nothing says farmhouse décor quite as much as a mason jar. If you have a few on hand, you can create this gorgeous centerpiece for the dining room table. Just paint the jars red, white, or a combination of the two, and add candles. I love the striped peppermint look. This is a really easy project that will take you about an hour to complete, and leave your table looking welcoming and festive.

8. Lighted Burlap Garland

Burlap on its own is very rustic country looking. When you add clear Christmas lights, you get the most farmhouse-inspired lighted garland possible. You’ll need red, green, and natural burlap ribbon. If you can’t find the ribbon or just prefer doing it all yourself, you can cut strips from burlap. Then just tie the ribbons around your clear Christmas lights, and you have a very country light string to grace the mantel, porch, or anywhere you want to hang it.

9. Ornament Filled Lanterns

When I was at the Dollar Store last week, I noticed they have these old-fashioned lanterns for less than $10. These are great for filling with ornaments and giving your entryway or mantel a very farmhouse décor look. You can paint and distress the lanterns to make them look more authentic and even add a taper candle or whatever other decorations you want. Some greenery and ribbon on top, and you’re all set.

10. Mason Jar Luminaries

Here’s another great way to use mason jars in your farmhouse decorating. Paint the jars white, add some festive ribbon or greenery, and a tealight candle, and use them to light up your staircase. You can actually use these anywhere, tables, mantles, or wherever you want to add a bit of country Christmas to your décor. They’re easy to make and are actually wonderful to give out as gifts, as well.

11. Vintage Striped Galvanized Buckets

These galvanized buckets really scream country Christmas. I love the look for farmhouse decorating! If you don’t have a bucket or two, you can pick them up at most flea markets or get a newer version at a home décor store and distress it a bit. Paint a red stripe, or you can use red duct tape if you prefer. You could even create the red stripe with red burlap, then just add greenery, candles, or whatever you want to give it a festive look.

12. Christmas Tree Sleigh

This is such a beautiful look with the sleigh and trees! It’s an easy make, too. The old-fashioned sleigh is made of vintage table legs and a box that you’ll paint red, and filled with miniature Christmas trees. Burlap coffee sacks bundle the trees, which gives it even more of a farmhouse look. I love the simplicity of this idea, and it’s just gorgeous when it all comes together.

13. Cinnamon Napkin Decorations

Linen napkins, or you can use burlap, too if you want, are decorated perfectly for the holidays with a cinnamon stick and just a sprig of evergreen. This may be one of the easiest ways to bring some farmhouse décor into your Christmas decorating, and one of the most elegant. Not only do the napkins give off that wonderful country Christmas vibe, but they’ll make your whole table smell amazing.

14. Farmhouse Christmas Sign

Add cozy farmhouse charm to your holiday décor with this rustic Christmas sign. Featuring natural wood frames, hand-lettered greetings, and festive accents like holly and bows, it brings a heartfelt, homemade touch to your home. It’s perfect for creating that warm, welcoming country Christmas feeling that makes the season truly special.

15. Rustic Log Snowman

This charming DIY log snowman brings cozy farmhouse warmth to your holiday décor. Made from natural wood rounds with bark, its simple painted face and festive ribbons create a rustic, handmade look. Easy to craft with logs from your yard, it’s a perfect country Christmas decoration.

16. Ladder Christmas Tree

While you may not want to make this ladder Christmas tree the only decorated tree in your home this Christmas, it is a great way to bring in some country vibes. This would be perfect in the dining room or anywhere you want to add a little rustic look to your décor. An old wooden ladder and a few strategically placed ornaments later, and you’ve got the perfect farmhouse tree to add to your country Christmas look.

17. Repurposed Candle Holder Centerpiece

An old chicken feeder makes a great centerpiece when you add just a few decorations. I mean, if you’re going for the farmhouse Christmas look, what could possibly be better than an actual chicken feeder? This metal feeder gets dressed up with some evergreen twigs, clay pots, and a few votive candles, making it a beautiful centerpiece. You could also add a few pinecones and maybe a small burlap ribbon or two.

18. Repurposed Muffin Tin

This muffin tin turned Christmas decoration is one of the most country farmhouse things ever. Whether you hang it in the kitchen, dining room, or living room, it’s sure to spark conversation. Take those old rusty muffin tins and put them to good use in your farmhouse decorating! Just paint a Christmas message or scene and add ribbon, garland, or any other festive touch.

19. Christmas Book Stocking Holder

Here’s another great stocking holder idea. This one utilizes old books, Christmas books preferably, which are painted white. You just have to add coat hooks to hold your stockings. It’s a bit more complicated than that, actually, but still well worth the effort. You don’t even have to find or use copies of old Christmas books. You can make the labels for the books yourself and use any old books that you have on hand.

20. Bedspring Christmas Tree

The thing about farmhouse decorating is you use what you have. This bedspring Christmas tree perfectly fits that mantra. It’s made by attaching bedsprings to a board and then just adding the star at the top. What a simple and great project! Kids will absolutely adore helping with this one, and if you don’t have any bedsprings to use, you can probably find them at any junk store.

21. Farmhouse Chair Planter

What better way to decorate farmhouse style than by using an old farmhouse chair? This chair-turned-planter is gorgeous and not terribly difficult to make. You will need an old wooden chair, which you can pick up at most flea markets or thrift stores if you don’t have one on hand. The gist of the project is painting the chair, and then you just add decorations and a beautiful poinsettia, and you’re all set.

22. Bundt Pan Wreath

I have a rusted bundt pan that I plan to turn into this gorgeous farmhouse-inspired wreath! It’s such an easy project. You just need a bundt pan and some white and red paint. It’s the perfect wreath for the kitchen door and so very easy to create. I love how it incorporates Christmas baking and decorating into one gorgeous project!

23. Clothespin Snowflakes

These charming snowflake ornaments are crafted by arranging simple wooden clothespins into delicate, rustic snowflake shapes. Their natural wood finish adds a warm, farmhouse touch to any Christmas tree or holiday display. Easy to make and full of country charm, these snowflake ornaments bring a cozy, festive feel to your holiday décor.

24. Farmhouse Front Porch

So this is more a collection of ideas as opposed to a single project, but they’re easy to incorporate ideas and they will turn your front porch into a country lover’s dream. A couple of white porch chairs, a metal bowl with pinecones, evergreen, and maybe a few sprigs of cranberries, and a throw in reds and blacks will give you the perfect farmhouse front porch.

25. Reclaimed Wood Christmas Tree

This gorgeous tree is made from old wood planks, or you could use up some of those pallets that you’ve got on hand for projects. You just form the tree with the wood and then maybe give it a distressed look. Add a few pinecones and other rustic decorations and put it on the porch or in the front yard to give your outdoors that farmhouse look, too.
