For this year’s creative Christmas challenge, we asked our employees to make DIY Christmas décor using their favorite products. Most embellished unfinished wood pieces from the dollar store to create festive decorations. There is also an idea-ology vignette, handmade wrapping paper, and an idea for trimming your tree.

We ended up with a beautiful display of projects, and all had fun creating. We hope this inspires you to use your Ranger products to make your own decorations and enjoy the process!
