    How do I make cheap Christmas decorations?

    • Repurpose what you already have – this may seem obvious but if you already have some craft basics such as wreath forms and ribbon from Halloween or Easter, you can simply reuse those and update them for Christmas
    • Look outside! Check the backyard or take a stroll in your nearest park for fun natural crafting materials. Especially look for holly bushes, magnolia trees, grape vines and pine trees for classic Christmas touches.
    • Thrift shops and Flea Markets – Check your local thrift shops year round for inexpensive Christmas decor or craft items. One of our shops has an entire shelf dedicated to only Holiday decorations.
