8 Affordable Christmas Decor Ideas

DIY Paper Snowflakes

Make paper snowflakes to make a winter wonderland. For a simple and inexpensive decor, use white paper and hang it from the ceiling or attach it to windows.

Mason Jar Candle Holders

Decorate mason jars with ribbons, twine, or paint and fill them with tea lights or LED candles. Line them up along your mantelpiece or on tables for a cozy and low-cost display.

Pinecone Centerpiece

Arrange pinecones from your yard or a nearby park in a bowl or on a plate. For added flair, use spray paint or glitter. It's a natural and low-cost centerpiece.

Twine Ball Ornaments

Wrap string around little Styrofoam balls to make rustic ornaments. For a simple yet charming touch, hang them on your Christmas tree or set them in a decorative vase.

Cinnamon Stick Candles

Wrap ordinary candles with cinnamon sticks and tie them together with thread. The candles will emit a beautiful festive fragrance as they burn, providing both decor and a nice scent to your environment.

Festive Pillow Covers

Rather than purchasing new holiday-themed pillows, invest in inexpensive pillow coverings with Christmas patterns. Replace your existing throw pillows with them for an instant seasonal refresh.

DIY Garland

Make your own garland out of popcorn, cranberries, or paper. String them together to make a low-cost, personalized garland for your tree or mantel.

Repurposed Gift Wrap Decor

Make dazzling decor out of unused present wrap. For inexpensive wall art, frame small bits of patterned paper, or make paper chains to display throughout the house.
