San Francisco Bay-area based Mariam Naficy, shown here, founder of online design marketplace Minted, has been making garlands this year out of various materials, including fragrant dried orange slices. "What I love about these is that they're stunning yet easy to make. You can display on a mantle, bookcase, or drape one on your dining table surrounded by tea candles for a simple, aromatic centerpiece." (Minted via AP)

Ashley Martin, a teacher and part time crafter in Green Township, N.J., created this display out of a scrounged wooden soda bottle crate and a collection of succulents. Martin says she's always loved doing arts and crafts projects, but she really became obsessed with cottagecore décor when she and her husband bought an 1850s farmhouse. Turning her ideas into custom art and signs became a side gig for her, and she's busy working on orders for the holidays now. I really enjoy working on something creative any time that I can. For me, it's an outlet." (Ashely Martin via AP)
