If you own a mini tardis or can go out and buy a miniature lantern, go ahead and do that. If possible, paint give it golden paint. Create a quick Christmas tree with straws or buy it if you can. Place the tree inside the lanterns and use cotton to create a snowy effect. You can also create tiny presents with styrofoam or cardboard and wrap them with wrapping paper. If you have children at home, you can give them the task of painting the lantern or creating the gift boxes. This is a great way to engage with them during the holidays when you can also teach them about the history of Christmas.

Ornament Trees

Whether you go for real Christmas trees or the PVC ones in the market right now, they pack the punch when it comes to kickstarting Christmas. So, why not make a tree out of the ornaments themselves. They will make your Christmas decor cheap and extremely colorful. However, you can only make smaller ones for smaller budgets. First, take a block of styrofoam and cut it in the shape of a cone. Take your larger ornaments and use a hot glue gun to stick them around the bottom of the tree. Move up to the top with smaller ornaments and finish the top off with a solitary star.

If you are someone whose house should reflect the spirit of Christmas in every corner, then this one's for you. Replace your curtain’s usual tiebacks with this one. Take a sturdy ribbon or tie and use a hot glue gun to securely stick Christmas ornaments to it. With this simple trick, your curtain tiebacks have now magically become festive and can be used to hold the curtains in place.

Before you close the window in disgust, please hear us out fully. If you are someone who likes to recycle and can make glitter out of the litter, this one is definitely for you. After you use the coffee filter, discard the powder and let the filter dry. When it is done, it should be exceptionally dry to the touch. Create tens of such dry filters or use tissues and brown paint to get the same effect. Gather 5-6 filters, punch a hole in the middle and tie them up together. Create multiple such units and use a longer main string to tie the whole thing into a garland. You can use this as a rustic wreath to hang around your Christmas tree or in any other place.

Candle jars

This one is a more contemporary take on Christmas decoration for those who like a splash of color in the midst of all the green and red. Repurpose your used candle jars as containers. We suggest adding slices of orange or lime to add a dash of orange and yellow to the whole red and green theme. When placed around the house, they can also give out a refreshing smell.

Cards on display

In this era of digital invites and cards, we are so glad that physical Christmas cards are still a thing. Displaying the cards across your fireplace or any other area can be a great way to acknowledge how grateful you are to the sender. It is also a great conversation starter with guests and can also help your children understand the who's who of your life. It can also add a dash of color to the quieter or darker corners of your house effortlessly. 

Small Space Decor

This one is for the ones who are living in extremely compact living spaces and need their Christmas bonus to pay for insurance. Buy a bunch of chart papers and glossy color papers and cut out the shapes of wreaths, trees, ornaments, and any other decor that you need. It is a great way to add color to a small mantel and takes only papers, scissors, and glue to achieve aesthetic results. If there is one purpose that your middle school crafts lessons have taught you, it is to turn anything into Christmas decor.

Vintage bulbs

This is another easy-to-do decor that you can pull off with very little money. Head over to your local flea market or to your parents’ attic and find a bunch of those vintage bulbs that come in different colors. The large ones are perfect for a beautiful entrance. Take any wreath base and glue these bulbs around it. You can also use some glitter to add some sparkle to the bulb wreath. Tie strings or other golden wires along the inner diameter of the wreath as well.

Christmas is right around the corner and now is the time for you to create a decor budget. Thanks to this list, we hope that it’s not more than a few tens of dollars.
