Last Minute Holiday Decorations that Last Through Winter Season Part 3

This is part 3 of a 3-part series. Click on part 1 and part 2 to get more inspirations in decorating your home for the holidays that will last through the entire Winter season.

I love to upcycle, refresh, revamp, recycle things and that includes my DIY projects. I would like to show you how I refreshed two projects that, incidentally, I also refreshed this last Spring. I love using inexpensive items, mostly from Dollar Tree to keep me on my low budget!

First, I replaced the wreath that I attached to the four wooden frames from Dollar Tree. The first time I used these four frames was in Winter last year when I created the deer in the forest faux window frame scenery, which I entitled Dollar Tree DIY Winter Wonderland Window Frame. Then, in the Spring of 2019, I recycled it to decorate for Spring.

Next, I made a pair of mini cypress topiaries using the mini Christmas Trees and two similar white cups from Dollar Tree. I filled in the empty spaces inside the cups using some of the red napkins with snowflakes that I got from Dollar Tree also. The napkins came 20 in a pack. Then, I placed bows made of Dollar Tree red \-and-white strings on top of the trees.  I love making simple but beautiful things out of inexpensive items!

Then, I revamped the wall hanging I created using an 11"x14" black picture frame from Dollar Tree. I used a Dollar Tree placemat as an insert. Then, I added three hooks from Dollar Tree below the frame and hung three paddle-shaped cutting boards also from Dollar Tree. I kept the same placemat but revamped and redecorated the cutting boards by covering the cups that I used to mimic small pots. I used burlap and added embellishments.

The first time I used this wall hanging was in December of 2018 when I created the "JOY" sign.
I hung this on our kitchen wall next to the sliding door.

And...here are some photos of my decorated fireplace mantle where I used the wreath frame and the topiaries! I added my galvanized miniature houses from Target Dollar Spot last year and a small white bottle brush tree to balance it out!

And here is the collage of all the projects!
