Fantasy Forest Decor Ideas to Thrift or DIY - whimsical magical cottagecore decor on a budget 🧚‍♀️🍄

This video can be summarized in three words: ivy, moss, & mushrooms.

Now that I've given it all away - this is your guide to thrifting and DIYing your home into a fantasy forest haven, with a budget-friendly focus, and lots of ideas you can do using thrifted, natural, or recycled materials. From moss pillows and glowing mushrooms to tree branch chandeliers, I hope that there’s something in here for everyone who loves fantasycore, fairycore, cottagecore, goblincore, witchy aesthetics…all appreciators of trees, really.

Tree lovers, unite!

Also, I shouldn't have to say this but NOBODY COMMIT TAX FRAUD, okay? Taxes are good and help people and give us hospitals and stuff. IT'S A JOKE.
