Because all of us DIYers needed some inspiration for this Winter's season home decor, of course, we searched Pinterest far and wide for the nicest, most inexpensive and actually doable projects.

Let us tell you, we've seen some strange stuff out there, and A LOT of Christmas home decorations, but we wanted this article to be for the whole season, not just December and Christmas.

For the following projects, you won't need much, besides some time and attention, and the best part is that everything you need (that isn't already in your home) can be found online, on Amazon or eBay (yay!).

Basics that you'll need:

• Low temp glue gun + glue sticks
• styrofoam wreath form + assorted styrofoam balls
• PVA glue + glitter
• candles
• jars of various sizes
• fake snow

But enough with the chit-chatting! Let's get to it!
