Christmas Ornaments

• 

• 

A quick and cheap way to decorate is by picking up a sleeve of Christmas ornaments and stacking them in a glass vase. You can use a vase you already have at home or pick up a new vase at Dollar Tree.

Place the ornaments in one big vase or several surrounded by a mix of Christmas figures you already have at home.

You will find a large number of individual Christmas ornaments too. Use these to update your tree this year. Or make a statement by finding a new top piece to your tree.

TIP: It’s also fun to bring the kids and let them pick out a new ornament each year. They will be so excited to help you decorate the tree and hang up their new ornament.

My kids liked getting their own tabletop Christmas Tree for their room at Dollar Tree and decorating it with ornaments.

Decorate with Your Holiday Cards

• 

• 

Do you wonder what to do with all those holiday cards you get in the mail? I love all the pictures but never know what to do with them.

Then I figured out how to make this cute Christmas card display pictured above.

All you need is a roll of Christmas ribbon and wooden clothespins to make a beautiful display of all your Holiday Cards.

Get step-by-step directions in my Easy Homemade Christmas Card Displays.

Outdoor Christmas Porch Decorations

Decorate your porch with cute Holiday planters. Use a large outdoor pot and fill it with evergreen cuttings.

I cut down branches from my backyard evergreen tree but you could also get them where they sell Christmas trees.

Then fill the pot with small Christmas yard signs, fake red poinsettia flowers, and pine cones on a stick. These will look amazing by your front door!

Another outdoor Christmas decoration idea is to create Ice Ornaments to hang on the trees in your yard. This is a really fun DIY winter craft with your kids.

Table Decorations

Make sure to decorate your tables with seasonal Nutcrackers, snow-covered Christmas trees, candles, and flowers.

Bonus the candles will make your home smell great when guests come over for the holidays.

Christmas Signs

I love to scatter a few Christmas signs around the house with cute seasonal sayings. I find it breaks up all the other decorations and lights.

They have a huge selection of signs to choose from, so pick one that fits your family the best.

If you don’t have time to shop try Decocrated a cool home decor subscription box I found and love. You’ll get 6-8 cute home decorations 4 times a year so you’re ready for every season including Christmas Decor.

You’ll be so excited about what Decocrated sends and you won’t have to shop or make it!

Outdoor Signs

• 

• 

Don’t forget to spread a little cheer in the front of your house with fun outdoor Christmas signs for your door. You’ll find a mix of snowmen signs to Santa Claus.

They also have cute holiday yard signs to stick in your Front yard.

Tree Skirts

Don’t forget to make the bottom of your Christmas tree pretty with a nice holiday tree skirt.

DIY Holiday Selfie Station

People love to take selfies and remember a fun holiday party. Use these two loves and create a holiday selfie station. It’s a great way to get family and friends to take lots of fun pictures together.

Make the selfie area by taping a holiday door cover on a blank wall. Then place on a table next to it the Christmas photo prop kit.

During the party, people can come and go taking pictures on their phones. Remember to ask them to send you their best pics so you can keep the memories.

Tip: If you’re planning a Virtual Holiday party use these as the background of your Zoom view. It’s a fun way to celebrate when you can’t be together.
