Crochet Christmas Trees are the Cutest + Craftiest Holiday Trend

Somehow we're already into the holiday season so it's the ideal time to start planning ahead for ways to decorate your home for Christmas this year.

There are so many adorable DIY projects to try during the Christmas holiday but we are particularly excited about trying out these crochet Christmas trees.

If you aren't big on the crocheted Christmas trees, keep in mind that you can find crochet tutorials out there from anything from crochet snowflakes, a snowman, tree topper, crochet Christmas ornaments, or even a Christmas wreath. The sky is the limit! Here's a good resource with tons of free crochet patterns that are all Christmas themed. We definitely need to try out this ghost and pumpkin bunting next Halloween.
