Last Minute Holiday Decorations that Last Through Winter Season Part 2

Oh, the holidays...doesn't this time of the year fills your heart with gladness? The atmosphere at the malls, retail shops, restaurants, tourist spots, and the workplaces decorated for the season is so festive and makes you want to take each piece of inspiration home with you. Taking pictures of these decorated places and posting them on your social media accounts are some of the ways you can keep them with you. But, there is even a better way-- making them yourself on a smaller scale!

Here's part 2 of a three-part series. Click part 1 if you haven't read it yet! Here on part 2, I am showing you how I decorated our buffet console table and the wall shelf hanging above it. I used the four projects from part 1 and added three more easy DIYs to complete the look!

 

One of the DIYs I used on the wall is the tobacco basket swag I created in part 1. I hung it above the black shelf. I wanted to decorate the shelf simply, so I made a burlap garland to drape over it. I used a couple of yards of burlap and several wired garlands from Dollar Tree that I connected together.

Next, I decorated a DIY 3-Tiered Tray that I made back in Fall. On the top tier, I hot glued my DIY little red house from part 1. I also used the birdcage cardinal from the same tutorial. I added some faux greenery, LED candles, and some berries from Dollar Tree. The outcome is stunning! I love it!

Here's another version that I did not include in the video. I added a snowman from Dollar Tree.

Next, I made a miniature cypress topiary tree. I used a small Christmas tree and a snowman cup both from Dollar Tree. This is a simple DIY that took only a couple of minutes to complete. Here's the outcome!

                                             

I also hung the little red truck DIY wall art that I made on part 1. I hung it just below the shelf.
                                               

Then, below it, I placed three LED miniature houses that I purchased last year from Target Dollar Spot. I used a white ceramic food tray and propped the houses with some ired garland ties from Dollar Tree. I placed the houses in between the tiered trays and the topiary! The lantern next to the topiary is from the 99 Cents Only Store last year. I embellished it with a wired garland tie that I shaped into a small wreath and topped with some berries on top. The golden wooden "home" sign was from Target Dollar Spot last year too! I really love this ensemble!

I added a few more items after I posted my YouTube video. That's what's good about having a blog, I get to share additional ideas that happened before or after I upload my videos! Like the photos shown below:

I removed 2 of the 3 houses and placed a red-and-white buffalo check deer on the left of the remaining house and a pair of red-and-white snow booties on its right! I then moved the wooden home sign in front of it.


Then, this happened...

I moved the deer on the left side of the shelf and the booties to the right. I laid them on top of the garland on the shelf. I also added LED clip-on candles I got at Amazon.

So, it proves to show that you can change your mind to achieve the look that you want.
