Hello everyone 🎁

For today's advent gift I've made a mini tutorial about decorating houses to make them feel more festive!

Whenever I draw houses in December they're always decorated with lights, trees and garlands to make them feel Christmassy, and I love that it makes them feel so warm and inviting.

So, here are some simple ideas that you can add to a regular house to make it feel festive!

You could add:

Garlands hanging from the roof 

A cosy scene inside the window

Big bows on windows or doors

A wreath on the front door

Smoke from a chimney

Christmas lights around windows or doors

Snow on the roof or in the window frames

There are lots of different types of garlands that you can use for decorating, here are a few ideas: 

I hope this helps you make lots of lovely, festive homes! 💖
