Simple Homemade Christmas Decorations

December 08, 2019

Two years ago, I built a Christmas photoshoot set for a fundraiser and it was a huge success. My idea was to create a minimalist living room scene. All the decorations were simple and easy to put together.

I hope these ideas will give you inspiration to make your own low-waste and reusable decorations that you can reuse and repurpose year after year. I’d love to hear your ideas so feel free to share them below in the comments!
