Ideas for Affordable Christmas Decorations
Everyone knows that the holiday season will really take a
toll on your wallet. If you are someone who doesn't really have a massive
budget, but will still want to feel this Christmas as much as possible, then you
will need to start looking for affordable Christmas decorations. The good news
is that you will be able to create such decorations out of items that you have
around your home and design Christmas displays without ever having to worry
about poking your wallet. Let's take a look at some of these ideas below.
Mantel Display
This is the place where you can easily add some cheap
holiday cheer. To do this, you will only need to have some empty gift boxes
wrapped in Christmas wrapping. Don't worry if you don't have such boxes, as any
type of boxes work for these affordable Christmas decorations. To finish up the
wrapping job, you will need to make use of Christmas ribbons and bows. After
you are finished with wrapping the boxes, all you will need to do is to place
them on the mantel. To offer an even more authentic look, use pine cones and
evergreen tree branches.
You can easily get the evergreen tree branches when you are trimming your
Christmas tree. In regards to the pine cones, you can get them from
outside. You may even be able to get them free of charge from your local craft
store. If you want some extra color, feel free to use spray paint, but not too
much.
Floating Christmas Candles
If you are looking for affordable Christmas decorations,
you will find that candles can be used in more ways than one to achieve this.
To do so, you will need to get a clear drinking glass or a clear vase and fill
it with water halfway. Next, you will have to have a red ribbon wrapped around
the glass and then put a small floating candle on top of the water. The
floating tea light candles come in a plethora of colors and you can use this
advantage to create the best Christmas decoration you can think of.
Candy Display
This is one of the most affordable Christmas decorations
you can get and it can also be a very effective way of having some holiday
cheer when you will entertain guests. To do this, you’ll need to grab a clear
plastic bowl and then wrap Christmas ribbon around it. Use the cookie cutters
as painting guides after you have placed cheap plastic cookie cutters on it.
Eventually, you will need to have the bowl filled with colorful Christmas candy
and then have it put on display in your house.
Christmas Chandelier
This is among the affordable Christmas decorations that are also very impressive. Even though it will require some effort and planning, it will have amazing results. Get two wire hangers and connect them together so they're perpendicular to each other. Next, have them wrapped in green or red Christmas ribbon using strong tape. You'll then have to get some tree ornaments and have them hung on the wire hangers. Be sure you experiment with different colors and styles of ornaments to get the best results.
Good luck with making sure this Christmas is going to be the best ever!
