    DIY Deer Decor

    These deer are just as cute as can be - and are even easier to make on your own. The best part? You can use supplies from the Dollar Store! Last year I hung 13 of these in random spots around my house and gave holiday guests a prize when they found all 13.

    This Snowman Door from The Creative Stamper Spot has always been one of my favorites. I've done it on the outside before, but I love how hers is on the inside.
