Create Your Own Winter Wonderland

The season is changing, and as the winter chill arrives—especially here in New England—what better way to enjoy it than to stay indoors and get crafty. Let’s bring winter inside our homes with these fun DIY ideas!
·            A new take on classic snow globes are DIY waterless ones. Items needed include glass jars, or clear plastic ornaments, artificial snow or glitter, small decorations such as trees or snowmen to include inside the globe, and a hot glue gun.
·            3D snowflake decorations are also a cool way to say hello to winter. Materials needed to craft these are six to eight pieces of paper, scissors, tape and a stapler. Adding glitter, sequins or using different colored paper can also make each DIY snowflake one of a kind.
Glittered pinecones are another option for making some great wintery decor. They make beautiful tabletop decorations. The materials needed are spray paint, spray adhesive, glitter and pinecones—store-bought or from your backyard. Finish off the project with a pretty glass jar or vase.
Pinecones are also a crafty way to make a wreath. All you need is a wire hanger, a hot glue gun, beads to attach to the pinecone, ribbon and white spray paint for a nice snowy effect.
Although I love the winter, I’d rather celebrate its beauty from inside my home!
