Infuse your room with the best scents of the holiday.
A whiff of pine, cinnamon, or even citrus can evoke happy memories of holidays past. While you could light a candle or spritz a fragrance, the scent can be temporary. Instead, try these festive decor ideas that will give off a delicate scent day and night.
1. Eucalyptus Garland
This minimalist garland is a modern take on holiday decor, and will dry in place for a long-lasting touch of scent and color.
2. Cinnamon Pinecones
Pre-made cinnamon pinecones have a tendency to be a little ... strong. This recipe lets you control the level of scent to suit your space.
3. Natural Wreath
Fresh pine clippings give a fresh wintery scent to this traditional wreath. The dried orange slices add a touch of bright, natural colors.
3. Tiny Houses
Cinnamon sticks bear a resemblance to logs, making them a great option for building little structures. Think of this as the easier alternative to gingerbread homes.

4. Cinnamon-Orange Garland
Dried orange slices add a splash of color to cinnamon stick forms in this understated garland.
5. "Gingerbread" Ornaments
A spice-flecked craft dough (made with cinnamon, applesauce, and glue) make everlasting ornaments that resemble gingerbread. The scented shapes also work brilliantly as creative gift tags.
6. Cinnamon-Applesauce Acorns
That same dough can be used to make tiny acorns, which make an adorable alternative to potpourri.
7. Pomander Candle Holders
The classic clove-studded citrus craft gets an unexpected upgrade when used to hold a tealight. Plus, the soft warmth of the flame brings out more of the scent.
8. Rosemary Mini-Wreaths
Easy yet impressive, rings of rosemary branches resemble tiny wreaths in this herbal garland. You can also use this idea to create napkin rings.
9. Fragrant Wood Ornaments
Detailed wood cut-outs are stained with craft store-purchased flavorings and oils for a lovely favor or tree ornament.
10. Scented Giftwrap
Cookie cutter "stamps" dipped in spice-infused paint create a fun, fragrant pattern to a roll of kraft paper, making this a great DIY to do with kids.
