Decorating for the Holiday season does not have to be expensive. If you are budget savvy and have a creative talent, you can easily decorate your home for little to no cost this holiday season, just by using the tools around you and items around your home. These quick tips will help you to keep your holiday decor costs low, so you can focus your money where it belongs, on your Christmas list.
One of the best and most creative ways to decorate your home for the Holidays is by re-purposing old holiday decor. If you have old ornaments lying around the home, take a glass bowl and place your glass bulbs inside for a beautiful and creative centerpiece for the table. You can also use your old ornaments to create garland for your staircase, mantle, doorways, or even around your Holiday greens. Take your old glass bulbs and a piece of long satin ribbon. Then, tie each ornament onto the ribbon an inch or two apart. This can look great on its own or even mixed with cedar garland.

Go outside and collect items from the natural world for free pieces of crafting tools. Pine cones are a great item to use in any holiday decor. Decorating with pine cones can be as easy as throwing them in a basket or large vase and tying a ribbon around it, soaking them in a fish bowl along with evergreen shrubs and berries, for a floating candle centerpiece, or even creating a long lasting wreath by soaking the pine cones in water and placing them in an oven in wire wreath form. The possibilities are endless here. You can give your evergreens a trim and make a natural wreath, or just a piece of greenery to hang on the wall or inside of a vase. Use branches with winter berries as another creative piece of decor to make into a vase or centerpiece for the home. You can also add these to your Holiday wreaths for a rustic and natural effect.
Recycle your old candles to give your house a glow. Anything can look seasonal with the right colors and satin ribbon wrapped around it. Choose your red, gold, blue, and green candles for this task. Make them all the same color to create a luxurious effect in the home. You can even scatter them around your homemade centerpiece to give them an extra pop.
Follow these easy tips and you will have a budget friendly seasonal house in no time at all.
