Even broke college students want to be festive for the holidays. Here are some ways to make your dorm reflect the spirit of the holiday season!
- Make paper snowflakes
-
Not only are these inexpensive to make, but they’re also fun! It may seem childish to make paper snowflakes, but it’s a great way to decompress with friends and take a break from all the work you may have.
- Wrap your door like a gift box
-
Wrapping paper is inexpensive and there are so many different fun designs to choose from. Grab a roll that speaks to you and wrap your door like you would wrap a gift box!
- Place a mini fake Christmas tree, menorah, or snowman on your desk
-
What are the holidays without a symbol to denote the holiday/season you’re celebrating? You can find any of these items at Target, Amazon, or maybe even Five Below or the dollar store.
- Add a wreath to your door or wall
-
Decorate your door or wall with a small wreath. It’s classy! You can pick one up just about anywhere, like Target or Walmart.
- Hang some stockings
-
Line your wall with stockings along with your roommates. Maybe you can even have your friends fill each other’s stockings.
- Place scent sticks around your room
-
Most dorms don’t allow candles, but you can get scent sticks that you can place around your dorm to make it smell like the holidays! They come in a variety of different smells such as winter fir, cinnamon, and pine.
Hopefully this inspires you to decorate in the holiday spirit!
