Adding a touch of warmth and holiday spirit to your outdoor retreat can transform your winter glamping getaway into a magical escape. Here are a few of our favorite - and super simple - DIY camping decorations to elevate your winter glampsite.
Pinecone Garland:
Materials: Pinecones, twine, acrylic paint, paintbrush, ribbon.

Paint the tips with white or metallic paint to mimic snow.
Once dry, tie each pinecone to the twine, leaving spaces between them.
Add small bows using ribbon for an extra festive touch.
Hang your pinecone garland around your tent or campsite.
Mason Jar Lanterns:

Place a battery-operated tea light inside each mason jar.

Felt Snowflake Bunting:
Materials: White felt, scissors, string.

Cut out snowflake shapes from the white felt.
String them together, leaving space between each snowflake.

Feel free to experiment with different snowflake designs.
Hot Cocoa Bar Sign:
Materials: Small wooden board, acrylic paint, paintbrush.
Steps:
Paint a cozy hot cocoa-themed design on the wooden board. Alternatively, use chalk or chalk markers on a slate sign.
Include phrases like "Warm up by the fire" or "Hot cocoa bar."
Prop the sign near your glamping setup, especially if you've created a hot cocoa station.
DIY Knitted Blanket:
Materials: Chunky yarn, knitting needles.
Steps:
Knit a cozy blanket using chunky yarn and your preferred stitch. Here’s one of my favorite tutorials for an adorable and EASY arm-knit blanket.
