If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on Christmas decorations, a few creative hacks can transform your home for the holidays. Check out these easy and inexpensive christmas decor hacks that will have you feeling festive in no time:
1. Use a frame you already own to display printable art.
If a new tree is out of your budget, consider getting one from last year instead. Many retailers typically sell these pre-lit and artificial trees near the holiday season on clearance, making them a great option for those looking to save money. Alternatively, you can make a smaller faux tree out of an empty picture frame and place it on your mantel or tabletop.
2. Hang a garland of Christmas ornaments.
If hanging lots of delicate Christmas baubles on your tree feels like a risk, try this simple hack that eliminates the need for strings or hooks. Glue multiple mini ornaments together to create an inexpensive DIY garland that looks much more expensive. For a more elegant look, add a ribbon or a bow to each of your homemade ornaments.
3. Make a Christmas card display.
Creating a festive backdrop for your Christmas cards is a great way to show off the beautiful designs on the paper. Turn a piece of old reclaimed wood, a framed mirror, or even a window into a decorative Christmas card display. This is especially helpful if you have little kids or pets who are known to be early present-peekers and can’t wait until Christmas morning to see their gifts.
