Neutral, natural, simple decorations are always my preference for Christmas and beyond. And if they’re DIY decorations, even better! One of my favourite materials to make Christmas decorations is paper. Whether that’s wrapping paper, cardboard or even basic printer paper, there are so many possibilities. So I thought I’d share some of my favourite DIY Christmas decorations made with paper.
All of these paper decorations are simple to make but the results are beautiful. They’re all minimalist and neutral which is always a good thing. From paper flowers to paper stars, there’s lots to choose from. All you have to decide is which one you’ll make first!

These DIY paper tree ornaments couldn’t be prettier! They’re made using basic printer paper which has been printed with some simple graphic patterns like dots and grids on both sides. And then finished with some plush velvet ribbon so you can hang them on your tree. You can however use whatever paper you like as long as it’s double sided.

I’m sure you’ve guessed what these stars are made from — toilet paper rolls! What a simple but stylish idea. I love them as they are but you could also paint a few of them in black or white.

These DIY minimal stars are made with baking paper and I love the wispy look. You can make them in different sizes and hang the big ones on windows and walls.
