Ruby + Swallow: Pinterest {on Christmas}

Pinterest is just a wealth of ideas to ~~steal~~ be inspired from for all occasions - and with Christmas coming up, we'd expect no less than lots of Pinterest DIY's making the rounds in your own homes. We thought we'd round up a few of our favourite Christmas pins to share with you - let us know if you manage to do any of them yourselves!

How sweet and quirky is this advent calendar? The best thing about it is that it will be unique to each person making it! Instead of wrapping your presents in the standard Christmas paper this year, what about wrapping them in brown Kraft paper and stamping names onto them like this stamped present wrapping? Its gorgeous! Pinwheels are so easy to make, and this pinwheel Christmas tree is just perfect for decor around the house at Christmas time. It doesn't look too hard to make either! If you aren't into traditional Christmas decor, this branch Christmas tree is a lovely idea. Spray-paint branches white or silver and hang ornaments on them - this is a cool, different way to decorate your house this year. If you are a bit strapped for cash this year, what about some baked goodies to give to your family? These JOY biscuits so sweet!

We love this Christmas tree wall idea, where a tree has been drawn onto brown Kraft paper. If you have an overflow of Christmas cards this year, use this simple idea of making a Christmas card wreath - it takes up much less space than standing them up in your home. Isn't this decorative wall idea so pretty?

We thought this use of a decorated scarf-holder was oh-so-clever! This is another Christmas tree wall idea with a metal tree and hanging baubles. This star of buttons stuck onto it is so lovely and classy!

One of our favourite pins was this one: baubles in a bell jar. Its a beautiful, simple and clever way of bringing Christmas into your home. We also love these clever centrepieces, candles and ornaments in a bowl and a mistletoe centrepiece. They are cheap and easy ways to brighten up your tables. And isn't this seasons greetings table decor with scrabble pieces so adorable? We love it!
