Canvas campfire
Apartment living offers many advantages, but a roaring fireplace with a mantel to hang stockings with care on is rarely one of them. You can create a cozy Canvas Campfire by drawing one on canvas and hanging it from a dowel or small curtain rod. The rod also gives you a place to hang stockings and you can lay down a blanket and pillows for a homey hearth -- without the hassle.
Paper candle ornaments
Decorating the tree with candles is a (high-risk) Scandinavian tradition. If you love the look of a traditional Christmas tree, but common sense dictates against putting open flames near dead trees, give these Paper candle ornaments a try this year. All you'll need to create this safe and easy alternative is cupcake liners, paper and glitter.
We hope that these tips for DIY holiday decorations helps make this year even more special and personal for you and your loved ones.
