Keep The Bathroom Smelling Fresh For Holiday Guests With A Dollar Tree DIY

If you're planning a party for the holidays or hosting your extended family, decorating your home to celebrate the winter season is a must. When it comes to adding festive decor to your space, it's reasonable to start with your Christmas tree in your living room and a few strings of colorful lights to accompany it. However, one area that you might not be paying attention to during all your holiday prep is the guest bathroom. With a few neat and relatively inexpensive DIY touches that use items from Dollar Tree, this room can be just as elegant and inviting as the rest of your house.

For festive decor for your bathroom, you'll definitely want to check out @dollartree.hacks on TikTok, which has a smart DIY idea that will give your space a cozy Christmas tree scent that lasts past New Years. This project uses Dollar Tree's Rejoice gel beads mountain pine air freshener, a few inexpensive snowman ornaments, some Crafter's Square ribbon, and a touch of glue. The end result is a cute and eye-catching accessory that's sure to make your guests feel more welcome. Plus, it will make your home smell better than ever.

Following the DIY decor idea from @dollartree.hacks is fairly straightforward. Simply take the plastic off the top of the air fresheners, glue your snowman ornaments to the lid, and wrap a short length of the present ribbon around their necks to make scarves. Then, place the finished piece in the corner of your bathroom countertop or on your shelves to make your bathroom storage more stylish. 

Consider removing the label or turning it toward the wall or backsplash so that the dark green color of the beads is on full display. There are plenty of inexpensive ornaments that work great for this DIY creation, but you might want to avoid using paper or wooden ones since the decor item will sit in your bathroom, where there's often a lot of humidity.

While the mountain pine smell will certainly make your guests think of Christmas trees, Dollar Tree also offers two great alternative scents that fit this wintery project — its Rejoice gel beads apple cinnamon and brown sugar vanilla air fresheners. Both have a warm, sweet aroma that will remind you of your favorite holiday treats. To further upgrade your decor piece, wrap a few strands of garland around the air fresheners to make them look more elegant. Ariceleo battery-operated LED fairy lights also work great here, but for safety reasons, make sure you're placing them only in areas that are completely dry.

Looking for more fun and festive additions to your bathroom that will perfectly complement your DIY air freshener decor piece? You might want to start by getting a few of Dollar Tree's Christmas hand soap dispensers, which come in the shapes of fun holiday characters and fit well in just about any area of the house. A set of SKL Home Store winter hand towels are also a great add-on for this space, and you can continue to use them year after year. There are tons of interesting patterns and colors available, so you can easily find one that blends well with the other elements of your interior design.

If you want a Christmas decor piece that occupies a bit more visual space, you might enjoy putting up a winter-themed shower curtain. The GCIREC Merry Christmas shower curtain has a simple yet surprisingly modern pattern that fits just about any bathroom without appearing too tacky. A wreath for the inside of the door with a neatly tied bow is a more classic option if you're looking for something that's slightly smaller. It's a cozy nature-themed holiday decoration that's easy to hang up and sure to add the perfect splash of green and red.
