One of the simplest Christmas DIYs you can do is to make your home’s front entrance look more inviting. Instead of just hanging a wreath on the door, try adding a tree, a basket of logs, an antique sled and some wrapped boxes. Even add a few lanterns around the door if extra lighting is needed. The wow factor just went up about 10 notches!
