Michigan has the pleasure of experiencing four pretty distinct seasons throughout the year … five if you count construction. 😂 So it only seems natural that dreaming of a white Christmas is not that unusual for us Michiganders! And while the snow doesn’t always hang around, we’re sharing ideas on how to decorate all winter with a snowflake theme!
The Beauty Of A Snowfall
Winter in our grand state has so many wonders – from farm fields blanketed in fresh- fallen snow to frosted trees that glisten with the most magical appeal.
The beauty and vibrancy of a fresh snowfall is such a beautiful sight to behold – though I prefer to behold it from within the warmth of my home! When I do step outdoors, I am always in awe to see that my yard, which seems so quiet, is actually bustling with all sorts of critters “dashing through the snow.”
But sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas … or maybe you live in a place that doesn’t see snow? Even if the weather outside isn’t “frightful,” here are some fun solutions to make your home delightful! (🎵Are you singing along yet?🎵)
Decorating With A Snowflake Theme
Crafted from durable PVC material that is coated in iridescent glitter and shimmers like a fresh snowfall, these dimensional snowflakes feature self-adhesive stickers to easily attach to walls, mirrors and more!
- Hang them from foraged pine branches. Or alternatively, choose long-lasting, artificial picks and suspend from fishing line.
- Cluster the snowflakes together to create a beautiful table runner.
