5. DIY Scented Christmas Decoration
While many love the look and smell of a real Christmas tree, it isn’t always practical to have one in your home. A lot of people choose artificial trees instead. Just because your tree is artificial it doesn’t mean you can’t have the smell of a natural tree. Our next pick features corks that have been scented with a tree smell and then hung in the tree. You could have one cork or make it in cute snowman design like this one.
