I managed to create a comfy, cozy Christmas experience in an 8-foot x 3-foot space. This is how:
1. I cut over a dozen paper snowflakes of varied sizes and duct taped them to the wall. I also used left over pom poms from halloween as added snowballs.
2. I fashioned a fireplace and mantle out of paper and painted logs, flames and the texture of wood to make it look real, sort of.
3. I hung a wreath I made last year from vines I pulled off the outside of my stepfather's house.
4. I made garland out of paper and thread, cutting shapes of popcorn and berries.
5. I took a centrepiece I won at the BoobyBall over 3 years ago, strung lights and put a tree topper on it that I've had for years for a tree.
6. I installed a window, painted the background black, added a moon and Santa flying across the sky.
7. I took a wooden screen I've had for years and hid the kitty litter.
8. Finally, my boyfriend hung a stocking he made for me at his dad's workshop and a santa hat to the mantle and presto - all set for holiday festivities!!
