14 Natural Christmas Decorations for a Foraged Look
Christmas is just around the corner and nothing spells the holidays quite like beautifully decorated homes. While purchasing Christmas decor is a common practice, creating your own natural decorations gives your home a unique and inviting foraged look. Natural Christmas decorations not only bring a touch of rustic charm into your home, but they are also easier on the wallet. Here are 14 natural and foraged decorations that will bring warmth and festivity into your home.
1. Pinecone Table Decorations
Pinecones are abundant and easy to find. A great way to decorate your dining table is to place pinecones on a tray or in a bowl with some sprigs of evergreen. For a touch of glam, spray the pinecones with metallic paint.
2. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is well-known for its invigorating fragrance and is a beautiful addition to any Christmas arrangement. You can spruce up a garland, wreath, or table centerpiece with some eucalyptus branches for a unique and natural look.
3. Dried Fruit Slices
Dried fruit slices add a pop of color to any Christmas decoration and are easy to make. Simply slice some oranges, lemons, and limes, and place them in the oven until they are fully dried out. Hang them as garlands or add them to wreaths and centerpieces.
4. Evergreen Branches
Evergreen branches are a classic Christmas staple and for a good reason. They add a natural touch of green to any decor, and their fragrance is a great reminder of the holidays. Place them in vases, tie them to your staircase railing, or add them to a wreath combined with other natural elements.
5. Snowflake-Frosted Sprigs
If you are looking for a winter-inspired decoration, look for sprigs sprayed with a snowy-white frosting and decorated with clear crystals for a frosty look. You can use them to create gorgeous bouquets or wreaths.
6. Pinecone Garland
Make your own pinecone garland by threading pinecones through a piece of twine or ribbon. You can leave it natural or paint the pine cones for added color. Drape the garland on your Christmas tree or around the fireplace.
7. Brown Paper-Wrapped Presents
Add a touch of rustic charm to your presents by wrapping them in brown paper or burlap. You can complete the look by adding ribbon, twine, and some natural elements like eucalyptus or pine sprigs.
8. DIY Christmas Wreath
Creating a wreath from natural materials is easier than you might think. Using a wire frame and a variety of natural elements like evergreen, pinecones, and dried fruit, create a wreath that is uniquely yours. You can add in some ornaments or beads for added charm.
9. Christmas Ornament Centerpieces
Instead of a traditional floral centerpiece, try making a Christmas ornament centerpiece. Find a container like a bowl or basket, fill it with ornaments of varying sizes, shapes, and colors, and add in natural elements like evergreen sprigs or pine cones for a full and festive look.
10. Twine Holiday Decor
Jute twine is a versatile and natural material that you can use to create a variety of decor elements like napkin rings, tags, and garlands. You can add in some other natural elements like evergreen or pinecones to finish off your look.

Add some whimsy to your decorations by incorporating animal Christmas plushies. They look great on the bed, under the tree or as part of a centerpiece.

Display your natural decor elements on a warm-toned wooden surface to create a cozy atmosphere.
