Thanksgiving Weekend is known for more than gorging on leftovers and watching football. It’s also the time when Floridians go to their storage units, pull out bins full of Christmas items, and decorate the house. After Hurricane Ian, many lost all or some of their cherished ornaments and decor. For TikTok Tuesday, I’ve gathered 5 easy DIY holiday decor ideas that will turn heads this season.

One of the things I love most about a majority of these videos is that they make use of things you might already have around the house. Up-cycling at it’s best. In addition, the things you need to purchase can easily be found at discount and dollar stores in Southwest Florida. Bling on a budget.

Even better, they have the potential to look amazing. It’s all in the execution. In addition, these are mostly easy to do with the kids. Family bonding at its best.

Finally, check out these 5 easy DIY holiday decor ideas that will turn heads and make your home or office extra festive.

• The Trending Shower Rod

  I’ve seen this all over the internet but have yet to try it. I’ve also seen some funny videos of it all falling apart ast well. But in the end it always seems to come together and look great.

  ✨Garland Hack Alert! ✨This cozy DIY uses a simple shower curtain rod! Here's the magic formula: Wrap 3 strands of garland around your shower curtain rod, add twinkling lights, and finish with an extra touch of florals. I found the dreamiest greenery and florals @JOANN Stores Shop . They have so many amazing options to choose from and create your own! When you're done, slide the shower rod into place. Who knew it could be this easy? I hope you will give it a go too! It's so fun!! #handmadewithjoann #garlandhack #diyholidaydecor #christmas

• Glorious Wreath

  You could cut the pool noodles in half to make smaller wreaths as well. You probably have one that has seen better days and could use a little upcycling.
