Mason Jar Lanterns
Okay, I have made some of these, and I seriously love them!

Christmas Scent For Your Home
Ahhhhhhhh! Breath it in, the scent of the holidays! Do you smell that? (Sorry you are going to have to pretend as at the time of this article the internet has yet to provide us with digital smells) But you know what I mean, that cozy homemade smell, a spicy and sweet scent that you catch whiffs of as you wind your way through the pine fresh perfume of a Christmas tree farm… well even if you don’t know what I mean you can give your home that exact smell without needing to grow your own Douglas Fir farm.

Hot Glue Snowflake Window Clings
Window clings are great, but sometimes those Dollar Store window stickers aren’t quite the style you are looking for. Did you know that with the use of a hot glue gun and some wax paper you can create homemade snowflake window clings of your very own?! So cool right?!

Tomato Cage Faux Tree
No room for a tree this year? I know the feeling, in fact I put a whole post together a few years ago about alternative Christmas trees for that very reason.

Reindeer Stocking Hangers
I nearly didn’t include these in here because I kind of wanted to keep them to myself… but as they were already all over Pinterest I guess the secret is already out. Rustic wooden blocks and glittery red reindeer give these stocking hangers a fun lodge vibe that is perfect for the holiday season.
