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!

DIY Winter Decor Ideas for $10 or Less Collaboration

WINTER DECOR COLLABORATION

Hello everyone. Josie again here to provide you more DIYs for the winter season. This one is very special to me because it's a collaboration with some of my fellow YouTubers who are also some of my greatest friends. I sent out a message to all of them hoping that they would do a collaboration with me. To my surprise, they all said yes. Even if they were all busy they took the time to join me. It almost brought me to tears as you can see in the video.

The challenge was to create winter decor DIYs for $10 or less. As of now, this collaboration video is one of, if not the best, highlights of my YouTube channel.

I want to give each one of them a shout out and a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Get Ready for Winter with 8 Glam Winter Decor DIYs, Walmart and Lakeside Collection Hauls, and a Personal Planner!

Hi there again! Josie here for another update. These series of videos that I have posted to my YouTube channel are for the winter season. Since the year 2019 is about to close I thought why not end the year with some great DIY decors for your home to celebrate the winter. Here are some recent videos to entertain and inspire you. ENJOY!

This video consists of 8 quick DIY tips. These simple ways to celebrate the season. You don't have to spend so much time or money to decorate your home for winter. Any of these 8 decor projects will suit your needs. I have compiled the 8 glam style winter decor projects from last year. Some of them are pure glam and some have a touch of farmhouse style...giving it a glam farmhouse vibe!

I also want to share this video of my haul from Walmart. I got some cute, affordable ornaments. Although, I was kind of disappointed in their ornaments this year.  In my honest opinion, last year they had better options to choose from.  Still, I found a handful that I added to my collection. Watch out for them on future builds.

I also shared on this video the planner I got from Personal Planner. This Personal Planner will be my go-to planner for 2020. Personal Planner and I have partnered a few times in the past and, I must say, their products are some of the best qualities out there. It's easy to order and choose the style you want. Just go to their website https://www.personalplanner.com/ to check them out. Did you know that they also ship worldwide? Personal Planner also sponsored a giveaway that ended on 11/10/19. Shawna Rice won the giveaway. Watch out for more planner videos on my channel. I am sure planner addicts like me would enjoy some planner layout videos, so stay tuned!

Before I write anything about this specific video, I want to make clear that I am not an affiliate of the Lakeside Collection nor did they sponsored this video. I bought these from their website using my own money. The idea for this video is to share with an online shop that I also buy from where you can buy affordable home decor and organizers that make great gifts. These are perfect since the season of giving is fast approaching. I really scored on these items, so watch how I also share my invoice that showed the prices of each one! Stay tuned for future videos where I will show how I used them. 

I hope you guys enjoyed these updates. Don't forget to subscribe to this blog and my YouTube Channel, so that you will get notified whenever I post a new blog or upload new videos! Thank you so much!

Til next time. Bye!
