It is really easy to get caught in the loop of always wanting to buy new items for the holidays to decorate around the house, but that honestly just isn’t sustainable and can easily break the bank. That’s why I decided to decorate in the most cost effective and environmentally conscious way this year.

OKAY SO. Biggest diy Christmas move for those on a budget. My mom always goes to Home Depot and asked for the cuttings from the Christmas trees. They are happy to give them to her for free, since she gathers what’s essentially their trash for them. She makes amazingly beautiful wreaths and garland

[@catl961]

Wait, how does she keep it from not crisping and having needles fall constantly?

[@lcwpd52973]

@@catl961 I went on Amazon and bought flower water tubes and it lasts long enough for the season

[@Jesssweet]

I've done the same thing with the free tree trimmings and used them as a tablescape garland, or even inserted them into my fake Christmas tree and it makes the tree look fuller. Also makes it smell nice and if you can find the exact type of trimmings the same as your tree, most people cant really tell unless they look really close. 😊

[@jojobobocake]

Sad to say I've been using this tip for years but Home depots (and other) has wizened up to this hack and they are super stingy with the branch cuttings 😔

[@emilymcauley]

Some tree farms still offer trimmings for free! Saves me a ton of money every year.

[@UlfMonet]

As a florist I can tell you that it's almost impossible to keep the greens from crisping up inside in the warm air. I can however recommend you a type of fir called silver fir! It holds up better inside than other types, and even when it crisps a bit the needles won't immediately fall off. It is native to Europe but I'm pretty sure you grow them in Canada as well!

[@MBMCincy63]

Awesome information! 👍

[@MeloniousThunk]

Ooh! Would you recommend using the tiny plastic bud “vases” on the end of cut boughs?? (the ones that are usually popped on single flowers at a wedding… green with a rubber thing on top to keep water in)

[@UlfMonet]

@@MeloniousThunk That's definitely worth a try! But they don't hold that much water, so you might need to refill them?

[@MeloniousThunk]

@@UlfMonet thanks so much for your response!

[@elzannelouw5666]

Also, perhaps a humidifier could help? 🎄

[@cecylumba]

I love how down to earth Kelsey is, doesn't need to boast or overdo perfect diy projects. Sometimes simple and clean is the best way to go about things; great job!

[@annebarboza]

same thought! loved this so much

[@snakonec]

Love the title "without target". I'm tired of the holiday hauls, it's sickeningly wasteful. Really loved seeing you use natural materials and reusing stuff from last year. We need to normalize not hauling every season, so thank you!!!

[@bluebellflamesx]

Agreed!!!

[@dianaw4072]

☝🏼☝🏼yes!

[@MsYogamusic]

Do people haul every year? I’ve been using the same decors for almost 15 years ! Haha

[@YW84LUV]

I diy'ed fresh garland on my staircase last year. It was beautiful. Literally within a day the needles started falling off. A week later every time someone went up or down the stairs, hundreds and hundreds of needles fell off in huge bunches. By the time Christmas arrived, I had bare sticks. I had to vacuum every day, usually 3 or 4 times a day. I ended up taking it down on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, all the garland I placed outside lasted until Spring. Lesson learned.

[@sandieedward8214]

Right now plain Garland at Michaels is half off so paid $6.24 for two garlands... Without anything fact on them but wow what a savings for new Stuff 🎯

[@HalliesComut]

I think you're coming up on having your tenant for about a year soon, and I'd love to see a video talking about expectations vs realities of being a landlord, things you've learned throughout, advice you hadn't seen before?? It may not be main channel content, but I subscribe to the vlog channel too. 😊😊

[@azzaeleibaid358]

Being Muslim I can’t necessarily celebrate Christmas but I just love the decorations and the spirit and love everyone carries through the holiday. This year I want to decorate simply and you just gave me so many ideas! Favorite episode yet! Love team SG 💕

[@audreym3908]

Same here but Jewish

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

All the associations with Xmas (decorations, trees, etc) are all pagan based. They have nothing to do with Christianity. I’m writing my final paper in college on this concept!

[@malaykav]

I enjoy just decorating for the season. I’ve never decorated for holidays because I hate “unnecessary clutter” lol but I enjoy changing up the colors of my throw pillows and blankets during spring/summer and fall/winter. Or treating myself to fresh cut flowers just to brighten up the space every once in awhile.

[@alexisnicole8118]

@@livelongandprospermary8796 I no longer identify as a Christian, but I'm gonna keep celebrating. To me, it's about family and giving (and having a serotonin boost)

[@Mel-qr5ob]

You can still celebrate it, it's not a religious holiday anymore. Started off pagan, got plagiarized by forced christian conversion, then got morphed/plagiarized again when atheism became more common it's faaaar from the original concept by now. It's about as religious as halloween or labour day.

[@chetunka]

Ad garland: as a florist i recommend hydrate the twigs beforehand (at least few hours before using them). If outside, no need to use any florist spray, the cold weather will preserve it well enough. If inside, you can use the spray but it won’t take long for the needles to drop off anyway.. its caused by the heat (the lower temperature the better for the twigs). Well, nature is hard to fool:D only hack is to combine real ones with artificial.

[@geora_crafts]

as someone who, along with being obsessed with interior design videos, is also obsessed with miniature making videos... i.. im so excited for your next video omg

[@MBMCincy63]

Love miniature things!

[@veranovis4419]

me too! I can't wait to see it!

[@skylarberry3754]

When she said she was doing that I inhaled so hard in excitement I nearly choked! Haha i looooooove miniatures as well!!!

[@geora_crafts]

​@@skylarberry3754 ​ @Mary Beth Mabe ​ @veranovis Im glad im not the only one! It seems from the comments that people watching the new video think its werid, not in a negative way per say, but it still kinda sucks to hear it described that way idk D:

[@waterbitten]

The simple mini wreaths are my favorite. So chic! 👌🏾

[@katieparrish6425]

It’s the fruit bowl for me. Nothing screams “festive” to me more than winter fruit! Love the new coffee table. It’s the perfect addition.

[@mariahgrimes2511]

is anyone else just so excited about the little magical hole in the wall video?!!!!

[@courtneyj9961]

I moved to WA this year and I’ve been pulling fallen branches off the street for my Xmas decor. Literally zero cost and zero waste!

[@jennifergraham3752]

I do this too. I’m often walking home with weird random branches. Great in the Fall for Halloween deco too

[@norawotton5440]

I love your laid-back attitude towards decorating - no fuss. Looks great.

[@sewcraftymarigold5556]

I actually liked the egg ornaments.☺ Love the simple wreaths with the bells.

[@udalimb384]

My favorite decor is the sentimental stuff. Puling them out reminds me of happy moments and love from family and friends.

[@ChristinaOurWoodHome]

All the cut evergreens will dry out quickly once they are indoors. I only use Eastern While Cedar, which is technically a leaf but it stays green a really long time, even when cut.

[@colleenwnek3404]

The way I store my strings of lights is that I save paper towel cardboard tubes. I wrap the strings of lights around them and tuck in the ends. No tangling! Also, you can write the location of where you like to hang the lights on the tube. If you forget...which I always do lol

[@jameswood2521]

I love the new coffee table, definitely fits your space!!

[@biznatch18]

“You think if I leave this on my porch it’ll get stolen?” 100% yes 😂

[@katherineharris6917]

Love your decs. Seems just right. Always like to open "The Sorry Girls" to relax a little, get inspired, and chuckle now and then. Thanks. Merry Christmas to all!

[@candiceg430]

Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@sparklepea]

We had a saying when I was growing up … “good enough for the farm” - you nailed it 😉

[@maddielaplante6789]

Don’t forget to remove any wire before composting after Christmas!

[@alexisnicole8118]

I love that I finished bingewatching the making home episodes literally yesterday (I started it the day before) and only had to wait one day for a new episode 😂

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

I’m shocked she didn’t make any baked (dehydrated) orange slices or pomander balls! ✨🥰✨ Love making home, favorite series ever!!! ❤️🥰🥰🌟🌟✨✨🥂

[@bijoubijou7500]

Can't wait for the next episode of making home. I find the series to be extremely motivational. I just need to actually get moving on making progress in my own space.

[@emilyb4865]

What you showed for the end with that little miniature the hole-in-the-wall I love it I think it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen

[@trishpipkins]

Oooooh I want to see the miniature magic!!! I want to create something like that for my home! Your home looks so beautiful for Christmas. I may need to see if I can get some natural garland.

[@ericaquint1895]

Kelsey, you have the most impeccable taste. I am not usually a fan of Christmas decor, but this genuinely got me excited for the holidays. Absolutely beautiful!

[@batmansuenos]

Congratulations on having your first Christmas! It’s giving hallmark vibes 💁🏻‍♀️

[@christinestewart474]

Very cozy! The distillery Christmas Market always put me in the spirit. :)

[@wellhello1603]

I hate having to store Christmas stuff too, I have no budget and I live in a small space, so that’s what I do (also eco friendly): I ask my parents to cut few tree branches from their backyard for me and I put them in a vase, making the bouquet into a mini tree shape, you are able to make quite a tall one (also you can put a tree skirt on the vase so it looks like an actual mini tree)! Its so cute and no trees are harmed in the process. Then I just have a very small bag ornaments that doesn’t take up any space and vuala! Light some candles, make gingerbread cookies and mulled wine/tea and Christmas spirit is in your home without having to spend an extra penny. 🥳 And I loved that this video had many expra hacks how to make cheap eco decorations, will use the idea for sure!

[@melody7224]

love the natural, secondhand, upcycled, heirloom vibe!

[@LotsofWhatever]

Toilet paper rolls are good for wrapping those tiny lights around.

[@nevermay]

I’m so excited for the little hole video! Been looking forward to that!!

[@mommygarcia9137]

Yay ! A Christmas decor video ! Looks beautiful & so festive !! 🎄❄️☃️

[@meghan7474]

Please be very very careful with candles around the garland!! Pine needles are so flammable 🙃

[@joanaisbubly]

Ok but the bottle you used to spritz the fireplace garland was real cute and vintage looking I am in love Everything looks great!

[@BethIsWriting]

Yes team vintage coats! I have my mom's old corduroy blazer my dad bought her in the 70s. :-D

[@fprleite]

[@tessacampbell641]

I love seeing a cold Christmas in Canada, since on this side of the world Christmas is in Summer. Really love the natural look you have going as well.

[@lucilasandoval3084]

This is such a classic and elegant way to decorate, finally a holiday's decoration video that I can really take inspiration from.

[@BeeNaturalMe]

This was such a great simple, festive seasonal and natural decor. Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@wintergirl_93]

We decorate the inside and outside, I love the nostalgia of going thru the decor and placing it, plus thrift stores usually have some old Garland that needs some TLC, and the needles don't fall off as I hate vaccuum ing. Lol

[@annaargento2360]

I loved those mini wreaths! you are so aesthetic

[@woin9361]

I love this series and I can’t wait for the next video!

[@caitybugg247]

My jaw dropped at the lights on your little tree. I LOVE IT! I reuse garland my mom had for inside since I know I wouldn’t keep up with the needles. But I appreciate the smell of real trees too. Craft stores sell Scenticles scented tree ornaments though that can add some good smells

[@thesamvil]

can't wait til next weeks video!
