You don't need to be a millionaire to get into the holiday spirit. If you want to skip the spending on expensive decorations this year, try some of these tricks.
1. Paper Snowflakes
Paper snowflakes aren't just crafts that little kids make. Once you learn how to make them, they can be pretty and intricate decorations. They're not only fun to make, but they are a very versatile decoration. You can tape them on almost anything or hang them on a string as garland. The sky is the limit.
Go on, turn your room into a blizzard.
2. String Lights
Basic string lights, when purchased at the right place, can be priced fairly cheap. Even one strand of string lights can add some Christmas joy to your life. You can hang them on your desk, on the walls, around your bed, around a mirror, or anywhere else your command hooks will allow.
Somehow, they make everything look kind of magical.
3. Christmas Coloring Book
A Christmas themed coloring book can be purchased at the dollar store for a few dollars. Inside of a coloring book, there's so much potential for decorations. You can take your time and color some pages while you watch a Christmas movie and get cozy with some hot chocolate. Once you're done, you can cut out what you want from the pages and hang them up as Christmas wall art.
Just don't forget to color in the lines.
4. Christmas Wrapping Paper On Door
A roll of wrapping paper with a holiday pattern can be purchased fairly cheaply. You can use some of this to cover your door with wrapping paper and make it look like a giant gift. Just don't forget your tape and scissors.
You can even add some ribbon or a bow if you want to get fancy.
5. Christmas Blanket
If you have a blanket at home with a Christmas pattern on it or you can find one that's affordable, a blanket can make a great decoration. Just throwing it on top of your bed can add just a little more whimsical holiday spirit right where you needed it. Bonus: You can actually use it when you're cold this season.
It's simple, cozy, useful, and elf approved.
6. Ornaments
Ornaments can usually be purchased in a case for a decent price. If you can grab them for a good bargain, ornaments can be very useful in amping up your room's Christmas mood. Whether you place some in a bowl or basket to set out, or maybe even put them onto a set of string lights. The good thing is they come with hooks, so use those hooks to your advantage and get creative.
Ornaments aren't just for trees anymore.
7. Fake Snow
You know that weird, white fluffy stuff that comes in a bag around this time of year. That fake snow might seem kind of boring, but when you use it in the right way, maybe with some string lights spun throughout it, it can be a magical addition to your room to make it look even more like a winter wonderland.
Get this stuff if you want to be sure to have a white Christmas.
