DIY Dollar Tree Ideas

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 one 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.

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 ribbon and wooden clothing clips to make a beautiful display of all your Holiday Cards. Get step by step directions in my Easy Homemade Christmas Card Displays.

Table Decorations

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

Outdoor Signs

Don’t forget to spread a little cheer outside by finding a fun Christmas sign for your door. You’ll find a mix of snowmen signs to Santa Claus.

Tree Skirts

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.
