Every year, we fork out oodles of silver and gold during the holidays. From the gifts to the spirits to the entertainment and more. It all adds up quick and the holiday budget can easily be blown. In order to keep it all in check this year, I decided to cut down what I spent on decorations. Spending a ton of money on things that are displayed for about one month out of the year just doesn't seem logical. With a little effort, the cash spent on holiday decor can easily decreased. After all, do Christmas decorations ever really go out of style?
Window Snowflakes
Cutting out snowflakes from coffee filters and applying them to your windows with double sided scotch tape creates an instant winter wonderland!
• roll of 3M double-sided Scotch tape: $1.99
• pack of coffee filters: $1.99
• window paint stick: $.99
Hovering Ornaments
Boxes of vintage ornaments are usually in excess at any local thrift stores. It's okay if they're a little knicked-up. Hey, it adds a little character. Try tying fishing line to them and taping them to your ceiling. Or just put them in a bowl to jazz up your coffee table.
• roll of fishing line: $3.99
• box of old ornaments: $.60-$1.99
• window paint stick: $.99
Repurposed Decorations
I received this snowflake table runner as a gift last year. However, it is a little too long for my table, so i decided to bundle up my Venus di Milo mirror.
