Experts conceived of the birch trees in the White House, but I wanted to try my hand at recreating this in my own home!

Like free free. The front of our house now has the most lovely lush garland on the front porch and I couldn't be happier with the finished results.

In college it was decoupaged picture frames. In my early twenties I got really carried away and hand embroidered flowered napkins and painted napkin rings. And more recently, it's corralling the kids to make things like DIY ornaments or painted coffee mugs.

We read it last year so when I set up one of our artificial trees outside, it seemed fitting that we would decorate it with edible munchies for all our wildlife friends! I set up everything at the kitchen table and the kids moved through making ornaments and garland however they liked.

I decorated for Christmas a tiny bit last year, but I feel like I’ll do a better job this year since I'm not also juggling unpacking and getting settled in a new home.

One of the projects we made was this oversized working snow globe. I've been counting down until this season when I could make a tutorial for you guys and today's the day!!
