Getting ready for Christmas Season is half the fun, from decorating and entertaining it is hard to stay organized or have a clear vision of the season. Christmas can be the time of the year for cheer and for giving but it can be a time for stress. I found planning and organizing early before the season actually begins; gives you an opportunity to access the situation, plan better and really experience the season for it’s worth.
Recently I gathered some of my favorite ideas for festive decorating and thought I share with you in hopes to motive and inspire you to create a affordable home this Christmas season without spending tons of money.
Limited Funds and on a strict budget; I can understand and relate to many of you and how hard it is to Decorate this Christmas. Today, I will share with you some ways I decorate to make my home just as festive and beautiful this holiday season.
Steps on How to Decorate for Christmas on a Budget
1.) Use natural elements this Christmas season such as pine, cedar to boxwood. Along with natural greenery use stick’s, twigs, acorns and pine cones right from the outdoors. Christmas is a time to get creative and bring many outdoor elements indoors to cherish throughout the season.
2.) Next, I plan on using many items from my pantry such as cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and anise. Last year, I made many garlands just be drying out fruits and displaying bowls of varies nuts. Incorporating pantry items in your Christmas Decorations is budget friendly and a nice way to use up old spices from last year.
3.) Vintage finds are a great way to add Christmas into your home on a budget. Scouring local thrift stores and shops you may find items that will work well in your home. I am on the hut for natural and any ornament that screams a “Rockefeller Christmas” I am loving stars, snowman and angels that I am finding at many of my second hand stores.
4.) Bells, “Carol of the Bells” when I think Christmas I think Bells; the more bells the better. Purchasing bells are an inexpensive way to decorate for Christmas on a Budget. Fill a glass jar or bowl with bells and that could make a simple centerpiece.
5.) Finally, decide on a color scheme to ensure your home does not look chaotic this Christmas. My color scheme this Christmas Season is Red with pops of gold. I love a traditional and simple Christmas using the colors of red and gold. When shopping stay within your color scheme to stay organized and focus.

Classic Christmas Tips to Decorating on a Budget
- Use one strand of lights per foot of your tree. If you have a six foot tree you need six strands of lights. Do not string lights on branch, weave lights in and out of the tree vertically to give your Christmas Tree Depth.
- Fill open space in the tree with ornaments for a expensive look from the inside out.
- Make a Christmas Tree look expensive my choosing a color and theme. If a Christmas Tree has a theme it is dominant and will make a statement. When you decorate and notice you have several ornaments with no clear theme that is ok, choose a color!
- Using ornaments try not to go over board less is more. Use about thirty to forty ornament per foot of tree. Alternate when hanging ornaments large than small, shiny than dull, bright than mute and so forth.
