When you live in an apartment, or even a home for that matter, without a chimney – it’s pretty simple to DIY it for the holidays.
We have lots of little kids, but back when we only had three girls – all under 4 – it seemed important to have a place for Santa Claus to get inside. Thanks to popular rhymes and stories, Santa NEEDS a chimney.
This DIY Cardstock Chimney is so easy, anyone could come up with it on their own. This is more to show you how we brought the magic of Christmas alive, despite our modest living conditions at the times.
The Stockings were Hung by the chimney with care. In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be here. Share on X
