Biblioethica Nov/Dec Prompt: Glitter

Happy Holidays my deers! My favorite holiday, Christmas, is right around the corner. So I'm using the theme of "glitter" as an excuse to talk about Christmas things. (Because Christmas stuff is sometimes glittery? Right? Stay with me I know it's a stretch. I just really want to talk about Christmas!!)

If you don't celebrate Christmas and are not interested at all in this post, absolutely no hard feelings! I will see you in the next one. But if you do celebrate Christmas, or Yule, or just like general wintery and holiday vibes, then let's dive into some fun options for being festive and mori this season!

Mori Christmas Music

First things first, lets get a holiday vibe going! I made a mori Christmas playlist with some soft, natural sounding versions of popular holiday songs. Check it out here!

I've talked about mori Christmas musicians a few times here before, but some of my go-tos are She & Him's Christmas albums, the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, or any Christmas covers by Mountain Man.

Mori Christmas DIYS

DIY Deer Antler Headbands

These are already mori, so it's nothing new. But deer antlers are such a cute way to be a little festive! Here are a few options for tutorials you could follow to make your own.

This option by Boy Geeks Girl has sparkles, garland, and more! Totally a great way to bring ultimate holiday vibes.

This version by OMMyGoshTV is much more simple and natural. A great toned down option.

And if you are looking for something you can wear year round, Klaire de Lys Art has a beautiful floral option that is beautiful and timeless!

Home Decorations

Gingham Gardens has a great set of tutorials for decorations using natural items. From seedpod flowers, to stick reindeer, to old school popcorn garlands! Lots of fun ideas to decorate your space without buying mass produced items destined for a landfill.

Another good option is checking out some Victorian ideas! Shelby's Cottage has some ideas for garlands, decorations, and more that are updated for the modern age.

Serena Dyer has a list of actual authentic historical crafts you can try if you want something a bit more vintage!

I also found this super cute mini wreath tutorial by aclotheshorse!

Festive Mori Outfits

Creating a holiday mori outfit is actually super easy! Cozy winter looks are classic mori, and there are so many ways to create an outfit that fits the holiday season! Here are a few ideas.

Add some red!

Adding a bit of red to our outfit, like a red sweater, coat, dress, etc. is a super simple way to make your outfit feel more festive!

A pop of red also really makes an outfit stand out, and can be worn year round.

(And for an extra bit of holiday cheer, consider wearing your Christmas sweater.)

  

Another easy option is to add a bit of green. A nice dark green, mimicking an evergreen tree, feels cozy and is also timeless.

  

Or if you feel like going all out, try doing a very wintery, knit heavy coordinate using Aoi Yu photoshoots or Choco's book for inspiration! Great for mori folk living in snowy places.

Whatever you are celebrating this holiday, I hope you have a relaxing season full of friends, family, and love. Best holiday wishes to you all, my deers!
