It’s my favorite time of year and I’m all about foraging for materials to deck the halls inexpensively and beautifully. I have rounded up my ten favorite winter projects for you. If you’d like to try your hand at any of them, do up-cycle, hunt in the woods, dig in the attic or basement and use what you’ve got to put your own twist on it!
