Hello
again Blissful and Domestic readers! I'm back with some easy and
thrifty Christmas decorating ideas. I don't know about you but I really
don't like spending a lot of money on seasonal decorations. However, I
want them to look like a million bucks!
Here are a few of my favorite ways to save money and have gorgeous seasonal decorations.
Thrifty Tips For Seasonal Decorating
1. Whenever possible wait for half-price sales. Retailers always discount seasonal items the day after a holiday. This is a great way to stock up for next year or purchase big ticket items for half price.
I purchased these stockings at Target a few years ago. They were on clearance for 50% off.
2. Some of the best places to find inexpensive seasonal decor is the Dollar Store, Thrift Stores and Walmart.
Make some fun & colorful decor with candy! These gumdrop trees are
super easy to make. Just hot glue gumdrops on a craft store cone and you're done!
3. Think outside-the-box. For example - Christmas tree ornaments can be used for so much more than just hanging on a tree.
4. Utilize the internet. You can find tons of seasonal subway art for FREE! Also check out The Graphic's Fairy blog
for free clipart. By using a frame you already have or one from a
thrift store you can have your own artwork for free or really cheap!

Thanks for visiting and happy decorating!
These are all lovely ideas! I'm thinking I need to try out the gum drop trees! So much easy color!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I am planning to visit the dollar store today, and hopefully snag some inexpensive Christmas decor!
ReplyDeleteFabulous decorating on a budget tips, dear! I especially love the gum drop trees except that I would probably eat more of them than I would be putting on the trees, lol! ;)
