Craft your own Christmas decorations
There's no need to go out and purchase new decor every year. Much can be done simply in your own home! Here's a list of items you can make by hand.
Convert tattered old blankets into new Christmas Stockings
Make a mason jar Christmas tree! Pack them with sparkly ornaments and then stack them in a triangular, ascending order. Then decorate with beads and garland
Turn your transparent salt shakers into winter wonderland scenes by inserting miniature Christmas trees (https://goo.gl/AK35CM)
Make your own Advent Calendar! Use small, coin envelopes (https://goo.gl/XggACc) and glue them onto a large frame or board. Decorate with string, stickers, stamps, etc. & fill with candy
Forget typical expensive wrapping paper, and go green by re-using house hold newspaper and other paper items. You can tape, glue or thread edges together for an extra clean touch
Save your coffee filters, dry them, and then use them as garland! https://goo.gl/7wCXH3
Purchase inexpensive transparent ornaments, and fill them with wood chips, shiny beads, feathers, shredded white paper, tinsel, and more
Paint your own ornaments - with heavy duty cardboard, you can cut out your own shapes and paint a unique winter scene
Make a Honeycomb Wreath - save cardboard tubes from toilet paper, paper towels, wrapping paper, mailing tubes, and recycle them into a wreath (https://goo.gl/oMeqs1)
Make an advent calendar out of small matchboxes
Pinecone ornaments - source your own pinecones from your front yard, and spray paint them winter whites, silvers and golds
Get creative with tree decor and try hanging vintage skeleton keys
Make a ribbon tree of family christmas cards (https://goo.gl/TA3Gjn)
Repurpose pincushions (formerly used to store sewing pins/needles) as ornaments
Cover kitchen cabinets/pantries with wrapping paper - the whole room will feel like a present
Repurpose baking molds and cookie cutters as Christmas tree ornaments, as well. Simply secure the string with a knot or a dab of glue, and hang
Use candles as centerpieces and decorate them with ribbon and glitter
