DIY The Perfect Wall Basket To Warm Up Your Decor For A Cozy Winter Wonderland

No other time of year is cozier than the holiday season. From candlelit vignettes to twinkling trees, there are many ways to decorate your home with seasonal pieces that elicit all of the warm and fuzzy feels. And while baskets may be commonly used to package up gifts, there is a specific type that can make a cozy addition to your holiday decor: a wall basket. All you have to do is fill it with an array of florals or other festive items to create a winter accent piece that is sure to add a touch of holiday magic to your home. It's perfect to hang on your front door, your mantel, or the wall.

Wall baskets are flat on the backside so they can hang flush against the surface of the wall. In the front, there is typically a pouch that can be used for storing any number of things like produce, utensils, or, in this case, a festive flower arrangement. Whether you love traditional red and green decor or a glittering metallic theme, you can easily customize the style of your wall basket with your favorite holiday florals and accessories. And if you're looking for decorating tips for Christmas on a budget, you'll be happy to know this is an affordable DIY, with many wall baskets, like this Ochine Hanging Basket, costing less than $10. If you love a simple project that brings instant winter coziness, try this gorgeous basket DIY.

To create a holiday wall basket, start by choosing a basket that fits with your home decor style. Love a cozy cottage vibe? This Koolouispoper Woven Hanging Basket has a lovely rustic feel and comes with a leather handle. Prefer something more minimal? Try this Casafield Open Weave Wall Basket. Next, cut a piece of floral foam so that it fits snugly inside the front of your basket. Then, all that's left to do is add your florals — you can use either faux, fresh, or dried. Simply trim the stems to the length you prefer and insert them into the foam. Be sure to vary the heights of the florals and use varying textures to create visual interest.

For a classic holiday look, you could use pine and eucalyptus stems for the greenery, red berries for a pop of color, and small pine cones for texture (use floral wire to secure them). Top it all off with a luxe velvet bow. Want a more wintery white arrangement? Use flocked evergreen stems and berries frosted with white glitter to lend a snowy look. You could even spray paint florals or branches silver to add a beautiful shimmer. Looking for ways to add festive touches? Consider stringing battery-powered LED lights around the florals. You could also style it with the trending hanging bells for a dreamy cottagecore vibe. Or tuck some beautiful ornaments in between the florals to lend some extra sparkle.
