The holiday season is finally here and the joy and cheer of decor is near! With that being said, holidays can get expensive due to parties, gifts and food that come with celebrating. To remain budget friendly, here are a couple of do-it-yourself tips on homemade decor that will look amazing in your home during the holidays!
DIY Ornaments: A very inexpensive and fun for the whole family activity is creating ornaments at home! This is a unique way to put a festive spin on your holiday tree this year. Some fun ideas could be: tie-dying plastic ornaments and paper mache ornaments.
DIY Wreaths: The wreath is one of the first decoration pieces that you see once you enter your home- you want to make sure this stands out from the rest! Create a snowball wreath by attaching styrofoam balls onto a wreath mold- you can even paint these into any color of your choice. Don't forget to add the bow in the middle!
DIY Garlands: A simple way to create a garland is by using construction paper! Grab any color that will set the perfect holiday mood in your home- cut them into shapes of leaves! Print out a traceable image of different leaves to help speed up this process. Once you're done- use string or yarn to attach the leaves together after you hole punch them. After they're connected hang them up!
DIY Gift Boxes: Recycle and re-use! During the holidays we receive so many packages and boxes. Instead of throwing these away- recycle them! Grab some gift wrapping paper and cover the plain box. Place the box under your holiday tree for decoration or store it there to re-use to put a gift inside.
Take a picture of your homemade creations and post them online to inspire someone else! Make sure to enjoy the holidays with your family and friends this year.
