The holidays are the best times to decorate and whether you live off campus or on campus you want to decorate. But decorating usually involves buying the decorations which can cost a pretty penny. But have no fear, I am here to help you decorate on a budget! Buying decorations is a so much fun but it can be overwhelming when you have to cater to what is in your wallet. Many of my decorating ideas come from Pinterest, of course, but finding the tools is all up to me. I will provide you with photos, places to find the decorations, and ways to decorate on your own.
