Holiday decorations can become expensive quickly, but your family will enjoy a home full of holiday cheer with these tips. The holiday season can be tough for anyone going through financial troubles. Here are a few simple ways to have affordable holiday decorations.
DIY Crafts That Are Great for Kids
Finding affordable ways to decorate your home is something the whole family can enjoy. Make it an adventure or just craft time. The holidays are about showing the people you love how much you care for them. What better way to do that than build your own holiday decorations? If you have a lot of relatives that you receive holiday cards from, consider saving those throughout the year. When the holiday season hits, you can cut the pictures and words out of your holiday cards and make ornaments with them. It is a way to include family you don’t often see without splurging.
Natural Pieces
Fall and winter are the best times of year to find beautiful pieces of nature to use as decorations. Pinecones are everywhere! Make them into a little Christmas tree with some glitter and glue. Use a bunch of small ones to build a wreath. Do not be afraid to use a pinecone if you find it still attached to a stick. Use it to build a centerpiece full of pinecones and flowers.
Buy Lighting You Can Use Year-Round
The holiday season can really push your electricity bill to the sky. If you want to save money while using holiday lights, consider only using decorations that have lights on the weekend or only a few nights a week. Decorations like falling icicle lights are beautiful but will run your electricity bill up. However, if you invest in quality lights that are ubiquitous, you may be able to fit them into other holiday decorations. For example, cover your icicle lights with spider webs and cotton to make them spooky for Halloween. On the Fourth of July you can add red and blue ribbons. There are so many things you can do with quality lights, don’t be afraid to invest in your holiday decorations when you know they will last for years.
