Creating a Winter Wonderland

This in my first year I have my own little home to get ready for the holidays. I am a busy college student and taking all this time to deck the halls with balls of holly doesn’t seem like something I can get done.

So I made myself a little winter wonderland.

It was easy and done in less then an hour!  All you need is: one set of net Christmas lights, (the ones that are meant to lay over outside bushes) one set of icicle lights, one to two pads of scrapbook paper, and one to two rolls of ribbon.

So grab your supplies and lets do this in 1,2,3!

1: To give a nice starry look for your windows hang the net lights behind your curtains. ~Check

2: Now hang the icicle lights up against the wall in a nice swoop pattern (that then almost forms a chevron pattern with how the icicles fall) ~ Check

3: Last but not least pull out the scrapbook paper and start making those beautiful 3-D snowflakes.

Hang the snowflakes in alternating heights and spacing to create a snowy day effect. ~Check

Now sit back and enjoy the wintery ambiance~ Check

What I love best about this winter wonderland is the fact that I can leave it up until Mach 20^th (the first day of spring) and living in Wisconsin I probably could keep the decorations up till May without it being out of season.
