Fun and Affordable Christmas Decorating Ideas

The holiday season is already in the air, and you’ll find the whole family busy cleaning and decorating their homes and offices. Decorations during this period remind us of Christmas wreaths, the Christmas tree, Christmas candles, Santa Claus, and more. They are endless fun and definitely a visual treat for one and all! Listed here are some decorating ideas that will spruce up your home in a big way, without breaking the bank.

dress the tree

Well, it is true that Christmas will never be complete without having a Christmas tree. Whether you have a six-foot green pine or a two-foot winter wonderland, getting a tree is a must during this wonderful season. Also, make sure it is extremely fresh, bright in color, and smells good. Selecting the right tree is essential though, as you won’t like your living room getting crowded. When it comes to decoration, you can choose a color scheme like red, green, silver or gold or you can go crazy and have a tree with a mix of all vibrant yet soothing colors. The first step in decorating your tree is to place lights on your tree, followed by garlands, and lastly, decorations as you see fit.

Another creative and affordable way to turn a seasonal symbol into festive wall art is to make the ornamental tree. If in case your house is too small or you want to try something unique, create a tree with sections of craft wire, then make S-shaped ornament holders and hang ball ornaments on the tree. Make sure the balls are the color you prefer. To spice it up a bit, add a sparkly star to the top.

flavor the mistletoe

We often find people hanging the mistletoe on their door. But did you know that there are several other ways to create a fresh, classic look in your home without hard work? Well, try this idea and you will be surprised with the result. Stretch a clean white string over a door and attach the mistletoe to the string with wooden clothespins. For an extra quirky variation, paint the clothespins festive Christmas colors!

Put a Christmas greeting board on the wall

Now this is immensely creative! Instead of keeping your Christmas card in a corner of your house, try turning it into art. Simply wrap batting around a bulletin board and cover it with an attractive fabric. Using the disappearing ink fabric marker, draw a snowflake design in the center of the board. Place a ribbon along the line of the snowflake and cover the studs with vibrant buttons. You can use hot glue to stick the buttons properly. Lastly, lay out your greeting cards and you’ll be glad to see the results.

Ribbon Wrapped Doors

Kids will love walking into your home from the tape-wrapped door. You can use a large ribbon to create a bow around each door and at the end simply add a gift tag with a holiday saying.

All of the Christmas gift ideas above are simple, easy, fun, and affordable. You will enjoy every detail decorating your wonderful home during this wonderful Christmas season.
