Pom-pom snowflakes

If you want to cover up the dull, gray and not particularly wintry view from your windows, simply tape up large decorations made from white tissue paper. You can buy or make tissue paper pom-poms or flowers (there are plenty of DIY instructions online – it’s a lot easier and quicker than you might think). The light shines through the sheer paper for a delicate, wintry effect.

Sugar cube igloo candleholder

Make a sugar cube igloo for a tealight – a lovely Christmas decoration at home. Stack sugar cubes around a candleholder, keeping a safe distance between the candle itself and the sugar cubes. Glue the cubes together (you can also use icing).

It’s a good idea to use small LED lights instead of tealights to avoid any worries of a sugar meltdown. And be creative – everything in white can have a snowy feel that lights up the winter darkness.
