These not-too-Christmasy decorations can stay up until spring.

It’s almost that time of year: Time to trim the tree, hang the stockings, string up lights, and fill our homes with holiday goodness.

Choosing a few pieces of winter decor that work for the whole season. These seven DIY wreaths are wintry — not Christmasy — so you can keep them up until spring. Plus, they’re made of materials that’ll last, so you can use them year after year.
