Cheap Christmas Decor Ideas That Still Look Beautiful
Holiday decorating can add up fast. The good news: some of the prettiest Christmas looks come from simple, inexpensive materials like paper, twine, pinecones and greenery.
Here are ways to decorate beautifully while keeping your spending low.
Budget Christmas supplies to look for
Kraft paper and twine
Wrap gifts, make paper stars and garlands, and tie bundles of greenery.
Air-dry clay
Roll and cut star or tree ornaments with cookie cutters, like in the photo above.
Pinecones (bagged or foraged)
Fill bowls, jars and trays for an instant natural look.
Unscented pillar candles
Group candles of different heights for warm glow.
Faux greenery stems
A few stems in a vase look fuller than a whole garland.
Glass jars or hurricane vases
Fill with ornaments, lights or pinecones.
Stick to a short palette
Pick two or three colors (say, white, green and natural wood) and decor from different sources will look intentional instead of mismatched.Shop your home first
Cut evergreen clippings from the yard, reuse jars, and move your everyday candles and throws to the spots where you want holiday feel.Buy after Christmas
Many stores mark down holiday decor right after Christmas, so it's a good time to stock up on basics for next year.
