10 Easy DIY Holiday Ideas

Hi lovelies! Let me just start off this post with a disclaimer: There are two types of people in this world. Those that roll their eyes at Christmas music any time before December, and those that start setting up their tree the second the clock strikes midnight on November 1st. I am the latter. Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and I like to stretch out those warm and fuzzy feelings as long as possible.

Naturally, this carries into my DIY goodies as well. So today I've decided to put together a collection of some of my very favorite wintery DIYs, courtesy of some of my favorite bloggers. From candy cane scrub to sparkly gift tags, these ideas are sure to make your holiday extra merry and bright!
