Fifth, add your fake berries into the bottle, making them stick out the top.
All you need for these DIY decorations are ribbon, ornaments, and some way to hang the ribbon from the top of your window sill.
First, measure out the length of your ribbon to make sure the ornament is not hanging too high or too low for your tastes. Second, tie one end of your ribbon to the top of the ornament. Third, hang the other side of the ribbon from the top of the window sill in your preferred way. Command strips are a great starting place if you do not know how to hang them.
All you need for these DIY decorations are a styrofoam tree, Elmers glue, and your choice of yarn.
First, Start wrapping a few strands of yarn around the styrofoam base. Second, add glue and brush it over the top until it covers the yarn. Repeat the first two steps until you are satisfied with the amount of string, then let dry. Then, remove the styrofoam once it is dry and you are set!

First, create your base for the tree with the wood. Second, wrap the garland around the frame until you reach the bottom. If you want to make sure that your garland stays in place, buy some wire and wire them to the frame.
The process is going to be similar for the yarn snowman as it was for the yarn Christmas trees. But, to put the two spheres together you will need to use a hot glue gun. You can also buy felt to create the hat, eyes, nose, and buttons and then add sticks from your yard for the arms. Using a hot glue gun to attach these pieces may be the best option.
