6 MONEY SAVING + SPACE SAVING TIPS FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATING

HOLIDAYS

The most wonderful time of the year can get expensive with gifts, entertaining and decor, so I thought I’d share some tips that will save you some money and also save space so you don’t have to store so much.

Buy ribbon in a festive color

The color red or a plaid will make your home feel like the holidays are here. Use them to hang wreaths, around vases, wrap gifts. Ribbon doesn't take up much room and is fairly cheap.

1

RECYCLABLE ITEMS

If you can use disposable or recyclable items that can go back into the Earth like greenery, get it, including the tree. No need to store faux greenery or a fake tree.

2

DISPOSABLE PLACEMATS

There are recyclable placemats and runners that come in various colors (printed on paper), you can buy for almost any occasion and no need to store chargers!

3

Now onto money saving tips! By looking at cheaper places like Walmart or other bargain stores, you can modify and remove or cover parts to elevate the decor. 

WRAP GREENERY IN POTS

If  you dislike the container whether it’s a live or faux plant, wrap it in burlap, a pretty plaid fabric or Christmas napkin even!

4

BARGAIN WREATHS CAN BE EDITED DOWN

You can cut or remove berries or the candy parts you don't like. You can strip away as much or little as you want from a bargain wreath! (This one I bought from Walmart)

5

BUY RED CANDLES

Or glitter, or whatever color you identify the holidays with and buy the taper candle color. Taper candles don’t take up much room and they add the color you want in the space.

6

There are so many items you may already own that you can just add some festive ribbon or swap out a candlestick color, or cover in a plaid or printed fabric!  You don’t need so many Christmas themed items to store if space is limited!
