Hi guys!! So, here’s the deal: Christmas is the BEST time to stay home and do cozy DIYs with friends and family, I mean, right?! SO, here are two that fit the bill!

Ps. If you want my other Christmas DIYs, head here!

First is a simple snow globe inspired ornament with the added cursive name on the front, not to mention a bottle brush tree! I’m actually giving some of these as gifts this year (hopefully they won’t read this post lol)!
