You love Christmas. I love it too. Wait, maybe we are twins! No, I’m already a twin, lol.
Anyway, it goes without saying that Christmas is the best time of the year! I don’t look forward to anything else as much as I look forward to Christmas. If you are not careful, you could spend a fortune trying to create the ambiance of the season. But, the thing is, I know that based on my experience, you don’t need a whole lot of money to make your house look and feel festive.
Today I will share with you a few easy and very cheap ideas to help with decorating your space for the holiday. Some of these will include items you can purchase at the Pound/Dollar Store. All of these are ideas I have used myself using inspiration from Festive Lights. You should check them out for some really cool DIY ideas, some using simple things found around your home.
What about creating awesome Christmas family memories by involving the kids too? They will always remember and cherish these memories well into their adult years.
Mini Candy Canes
Well, I find candy canes to be not only delicious but they lend their Christmassy colours to the season, allowing you to make fancy looking, but cheap decorations. I bought two packs for only £1.25 and just experimented with ideas for decorating the kitchen. I also bought a red candle for £1.00. I am sure you could come up with some ideas of your own too!
Here are some of the ideas I came up with.
Baubel Wreath
I had a go with using some spare baubles and a wire coat hanger to create what I consider to be a stunning wreath if I should say so myself! What do you think?
A little Fanciness for the Staircase
I found this pretty pack of bows for just £1.00 So of course I took them home with me. Paired them up with some holly looking tinsel decorations and stuck them to the side of the staircase. I’m thinking to pair it up with some gold tinsel to jazz it up a bit and match the red and gold theme in the rest of the house this season.
So what do you think of my efforts this year? I love decorating for Christmas and I love doing it as cheaply as possible. The fun of doing it with other family members leave lasting memories for a long time.
All the best for your efforts and do share some of the ideas with us.
Hey, these are some good ideas!!
I love the ideas using candy canes! And the wreath is very pretty. Thanks for your tips.
Love the ideas, and so will the kids!
Beautiful. Thanks for the tips. I also incorporate the artwork / crafts my kids bring home from school.
Neat Ideas. Love it.
Great ideas! I love the Mini Candy Canes ornament.
Awesome ideas…love the wreath 😀
You can also glue the candy canes together in a circle like you have under the candle and make a candy cane wreath! Such cool ideas, I will be bringing them to the ladies circle at church this week!
That’s such a neat idea Michele. I hope it goes well for you and the ladies at church. Thanks for stopping by and all the best of 2018 for you and yours.
Hi ladies, I know I can always count you for the best festive frugal tips. Merry Christmas and God bless you both. Xoxo

Thanks for sharing these ideas. I really like the candy cane stand idea. Keep sharing!
Really nice ideas. that heart shape and U shape candle looks awsome.:) 🙂
These are cute ideas! I don’t decorate for Christmas (or any season, really) much, but I like the idea of using candy canes for decorating—they’re inexpensive and edible, so they won’t sit in a box for the rest of year, collecting dust. XD
Very nice ideas. I’m not big on decorating but I really like the candy cane holder idea. It is practical and I think it could live well beyond the Christmas season. Keep sharing these cuties!
Thanks to you dearest.Merry Christmas
These idea are pretty cool. I remember once when my family didn’t have enough money for a tree. We picked up some tree branches and tied them to a broom stick, stuck into a stool. Fun times!
Great! That’s such a neat, frugal idea. Fun and happy memories can be created with very little money spent. Thanks for stopping by, Timothy.
These are such great ideas that turned out to be really cute!
Thanks, Robyn. Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
Wow!! That’s awesome very creative, I love the ones with the candles. I think I’m gonna try that one. Thanks for those Christmas tips. Have a wonderful holidays ladies.
Happy holidays to you and yours too Tia.

Thanks, and good luck.
I LOVE that wreath idea! I think I’ll try it 🙂
Hope it turns out well for you! Try sharing the finished photo, won’t you?
Love the ideas, thank you for sharing!
so nice
Wow these are really nice ideas, I most love the hanged candies. Children will be attracted.
Thanks. I always think it’s a good idea to incorporate lots that children will love. Thanks for stopping by and all the best for a lovely season to you.
These are great inexpensive but eye-catching ideas. One thing I usually do is collect pine cones during the Summer/Autumn months and save them for Winter. Leave them brown or spray paint silver or gold and fill a bowl, mix and match with candles, holly or ribbons for wreaths, centre pieces etc etc
Great ideas! I’ll add that idea for next year. All the very best of the season to you and yours and thanks so much for stopping by.
Great ideas here!! I’m definitely going to try out some of these 👌🏾👌🏾
Great ideas!
