‘Tis the Season… For Dorm Decorating

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Conn Coll chapter.

It’s that time of year again! There’s no better way to bring the holiday spirit to Conn than to decorate your dorms and keep the magic of this season alive even when you’re away from home.
 
1.   Christmas Lights:
Light up your room by dangling these classic lights all around. For an even more “holiday” touch, string them with garland.

 
2.   PaperSnow Flakes:
These paper snowflakes are not only easy to make, but a cute way to bring the essence of winter right into your own room. Check out this link for directions on how to make them!
 
3.   Small Artificial Trees:
 Get a small tree for your room and decorate it just like you would at home. Maybe if your friends are nice enough they’ll leave presents!
 
4.   Wreaths:
Hang a wreath outside your door as a cute and spirited way to welcome your guests!
 
5.   Ornaments
Try hanging ornaments in various places around your room. Soon your room will feel like a decorated tree itself!
 
6.   Stockings:
Hang a personalized stocking on the outside of your door. If you’ve been nice this year, perhaps you’ll find little surprises left inside!
 
7.   Window Decals:
Easy to buy and use, snowflake or various other holiday decals are a great way to accent your windows. They look adorable and are easily removable when spring finally comes around.
