Make your home merry and bright without breaking the bank. Explore budget-friendly Christmas decoration ideas to bring holiday cheer to your living space.
Visualize Your Christmas Space
Budget-friendly Christmas decoration ideas can easily be accomplished with imagination when creating a holiday theme in your living space.
One of Christmas’s best parts is walking into a festive and warmly decorated home.
Along with a little music and the right lighting, the atmosphere is set to make this holiday season memorable.
The personalization behind homemade holiday displays provides a nice touch and eliminates the need to buy costly decorations.
Be sure to borrow the following budget-friendly Christmas decorating ideas for your home.
Start At The Entrance
Since Christmas begins at the front door, here is a lovely entrance decoration that is easy to assemble for next to nothing.
Collect fragrant greenery such as holly, spruce, or eucalyptus and bundle it with floral wire.
Then, tie a few ornaments onto a wooden floral pick and push the pick tightly into the greenery boughs.
Finish the arrangement with a satin ribbon and hang it on the front door for a simple, elegant Christmas look.
Wine Bottle Candle Holders
Candle holders can be a great way to add a warm handmade glow to any household.
Begin by removing all the labels from a few clean, empty wine bottles and then apply a band of silvery wrapping paper around the middle of the bottle.
Finish them with a green ribbon tied into a bow, and find a thin candle that easily fits into the bottle’s mouth.
It’s guaranteed to look Christmas-chic for the holidays.
Save Your Christmas Cards
Some Christmas cards are just too pretty to throw away.
As you receive some each year, save your favorites and turn them into a homemade display.
Not only will the people who gave you the cards be happy to see you cherish them, but they will also serve to bring up sweet memories.
Christmas cards are one of the best and easiest budget-friendly Christmas decoration ideas for any home.
Paper Plate Angels In Your Home
These lovely paper plate angels are easy to make using either paper plates or white card stock.
Place them on mantles or set the table with them during holiday dinners.
For the latter, you can even invite your guests to take them home after the meal.
Christmas Decoration Ideas Light Up The Wall
Perhaps you don’t have the extra space (or money) for a Christmas tree.
You can still create the same effect on a blank wall with a strand of lights.
Create the tree’s frame using adhesive hooks – four along the bottom and one at the top.
Drape lights around these hooks to form the tree’s shape, and add a few elements like white felt stars to finish the look.
This Christmas decoration idea is ideal for a kid’s room as it lights up the place with minimal fuss.
What To Do With Leftover Wrapping Paper
It’s always a shame to throw out those little bits of beautiful wrapping paper left over after all the presents have been opened.
To salvage the paper (and do the environment well by re-using it!), glue small circles to thicker pieces of card stock.
Then, align and attach these circles to a long string section.
Hang a few of these Christmas decorations alongside one another in front of a window or mirror for an inspiring look that is sure to grant you a couple of well-deserved compliments.
Presents On The Wall
Lastly, for anything hanging on your walls, such as a framed picture or a mirror.
Wrapping it like a Christmas present is also a neat way of decorating the house without breaking the bank.
