Deck the Haus: Recycled Magazine Wreath
Although the scent of a traditional-pine Christmas wreath can't be beat, the drawback is that it doesn't last year round, because it's both ephemeral and undeniably synonymous with the holidays. So when I happened upon this Brookish Recycled Magazine Wreath ($18), I knew I'd found a green, nonperishable, and seasonally-neutral solution to my door décor dilemma. For December festivity, you can tie it with a big, red bow, and then leave it in the buff until the next holiday comes around.
Deck the Haus: Dove Table Art
What better way to say Peace on Earth than with some lovely doves ($34) flocked together on your holiday table? These 10 shearling doves have been handsewn together, and decorate a table with 10 shearling doves hand sewn together. This functional art piece measures approximately 15" x 9".
Where Is the Julbock From?
The Julbock or Yule-goat, is made of straw and wrapped in red ribbon. It has a long history in its home country, going back 300 years. Now its job is to guard presents at Christmas.
DIY: Recycled Catalog Christmas Trees
I was inspired by either random creativity or divine procrastination yesterday to turn a stack of office DWR catalogs and expired In Touch magazines into festive Christmas trees. The project took me under ten minutes to complete. Since the holiday deadline for ordering from that stack of catalogs laying on your kitchen counter has passed, I highly suggest recycling them with this easy DIY.
Deck the Haus DIY: Wrapping With Craft Paper
Last night I started the long process of wrapping gifts for friends, family, and future in-laws. Does anyone else forget how time-intensive this process is between holidays? I sure do.
Deck the Haus: Homemade Wrapping Paper
TeamSugar member AmberHoney sent me this photo of some decorating paper she made for a business associate of her husband's. She says, "I have only ever used newspaper or grocery-store bags (the inside of course) to wrap my gifts. I started because wrapping papers are just too expensive to rip open and litter the earth.
Would You Deck Your Haus With These?
These CB2 disco balls (on sale for $0.95–$2.95) will turn your holiday nights into boogie nights. The only question is: Are you really dreaming of a disco Christmas this year?

Deck the Haus: Massimo Giacon and Alessi Nativity
Growing up, my family had a nativity set with a thatched roof and wooden sides. It was as true-to-life as any could be. While I was not particularly religious, I enjoyed moving the pieces around and imagining how the birth of Jesus Christ really went down.
Deck the Haus: Oil Drum Angel
Who would've thought that such an angelic figure could come from such a surprising source? When empty oil drums washed up on Haiti after World War II, local artisans reworked the "trash" into metal sculptures. And while this simple and sublime angel figure ($169) from VivaTerra wasn't in your tree topper roundup, I think it would've fit in nicely.
Deck the Haus: Recycled Light Bulb Ornament
This 3R Living Recycled Light Bulb Ornament ($26) turns me on. But, but, but, I would never buy it. The beauty of this ornament is that everyone has the supplies to make it.
