Snow-Covered Finnish Rural Retreat Belonging to Hanna During Christmas Season
In the heart of snowy Finland, three charming homes – Pia's Cosy Country Home, Hanna's abode, and Riikka's Idyllic Waterside Cabin – are adorned with unique Christmas decorations that exude a rustic charm and cozy atmosphere.
Last year, Hanna, a creative enthusiast, shared sixteen DIY Christmas decoration ideas on her Instagram post, showcasing her talent for using natural materials to create stunning pieces. One of her most popular ideas was a Christmas candle holder made from branches and berries, which can be placed on a table or hung from a tree as a decoration.
Another gem from Hanna's 2021 post was a DIY snowflake garland, made using simple paper cuts. For those who prefer a more rustic touch, Hanna's twig and pinecone wreath, personalized with handmade ornaments, is an ideal choice.
If you're looking for something a bit different, Hanna's snow angels, featured on her Instagram last year, might just be the perfect addition to your Christmas décor.
But the creativity doesn't stop there. Hanna also suggested three Christmas decorations that can be made with wallpaper.

For those with children, Hanna's Instagram post this year offers five Christmas craft ideas that can be made alone or with children. These eco-friendly and creative DIY decorations, such as nature-based ornaments, paper decorations, and loo roll cartridge crafts, combine simplicity with style, making them perfect for a warm, rustic Christmas.
Pressing leaves, seed pods, acorns, and eucalyptus pods can be turned into simple but stunning tree ornaments. Pinecones, cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and small bird baubles add rustic warmth and texture to your tree or home decor. Use pinecones and wooden bead garlands for a cozy, natural Christmas tree décor.
Craft paper snowflakes, stars, or folded paper ornaments can be hung on the tree or in windows. Cut and shape loo roll cartridges into stars, wreath forms, or small gift boxes. Paint or wrap cartridges in jute twine or burlap for rustic ornamentation. Make small festive figures or tree garlands by connecting decorated loo roll pieces.
These ideas, inspired by Hanna's creativity and the rustic charm of Finnish homes, offer an eco-friendly and budget-friendly way to decorate your home this Christmas, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for the holiday season.
Hanna's Instagram post last year featured several DIY home-and-garden related Christmas decorations, such as the twig and pinecone wreath and the paper cut snowflake garland that can add a rustic touch to one's lifestyle. This year, her Instagram offers eco-friendly Christmas craft ideas for those with children, like nature-based ornaments and loo roll cartridge crafts, which can be used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the holiday season.
