With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s hard to ignore that Christmas is right around the corner. Whether you’re eager to put up the tree, or feeling a little dread to get out the unorganized decoration boxes, we’ve rounded up a few modern, minimalist Christmas decorations that you can DIY this weekend in sweatpants, and sipping hot cocoa.
We took inspiration for minimalist Christmas decorations from traditional Scandinavian holiday style and keep things strikingly simple, yet fully festive. Busy yourself with these simple and beautiful crafts, and we think you’ll be in the holiday spirit in no time.
They’re also neutral enough to look wonderful all winter in case you don’t take down your decorations until, you know, January or so.
Here’s to getting in the spirit of the holidays, your way.
