Say goodbye to a crowded Christmas season this year! For those with limited space, a Space Saver Christmas Tree is the perfect solution.

This is an ideal solution for small apartments, or for those who have pets since there is no risk of it getting knocked over.

Christmas Kitchen

Transform your kitchen into a festive Christmas wonderland with these simple ideas! A white fridge is easily turned into a snowman with the use of black foam cut into circles for eyes and mouth while an orange triangle makes the nose and some Christ,as wrapping is cut into a scarf shape. Add miscellaneous size boxes wrapped in leftover wrapping paper over the kitchen cupboards. Add a strand of white Christmas lights to highlight the cupboard doors and adorn with bows to make them look like gifts. Make your kitchen inviting, cozy, and merry this holiday season!

Hang Garland

Turn your home into a winter wonderland with Christmas garland! Hang it over your windows for a festive upgrade, or add string lights and wooden bead garland for a magical touch. Then make it even cozier with festive throw pillows and a cozy blanket - your whole home will be filled with holiday cheer.

Hang Ornaments From Lights

Create a Christmas chandelier by hanging ornaments from your lights. All you need is a plain pine wreath, some red and gold ribbon and ornaments, and wire cutters. Start by making an opening in the wreath with the wire cutters so you can easily affix it to the light fixture. For added flair, tie a red ball to the rim of the wreath at 2 inch intervals, alternating with a gold ribbon. Make sure the ornaments are secure with knots on the back, and use different length ribbons for a more staggered effect. With just a few simple steps, you can create a beautiful holiday classic for your home!

Utilize Every Space

To make your staircase look like a winter wonderland, grab a thick, white craft snow blanket instead of the pre-bagged spiderweb type, and wrap it around pillows and bedding. To really complete the look, add battery-operated lights in clear or blue, and don't forget your favorite winter animal friends – like wolves, reindeer, polar bears, seals, and Olaf! For a final touch of festive cheer, cut up an old scarf and use it to adorn your furry friends. A magical holiday awaits!

Decorate Your Doors

Make a snowman door to quickly add some holiday spirit! You'll just need a couple of simple supplies, like black card stock for the eyes and smile, red card stock for the bow, orange card stock for the nose, and ribbon for the scarf. The best part? Kids can help assemble it and you can save all your pieces for next year!
