As the Christmas spirit kicks in, it’s time to enhance your home with festive decorations and lights! We all know that Christmas is notorious for its impact on our wallets, but not to worry! We have some affordable Christmas decoration ideas that will look just as good and also help you stay on budget.
1. Make your own centrepieces
You can easily create your own centrepieces this year using things at home and other affordable materials. These White LED String Lights are warm toned and give a soft yellow hue, perfect for using them inside of jars and wine bottles to create a magical centrepiece. You can also go foraging outdoors to look for pinecones and acorns to fill your jars with. Alternatively, you can buy our Pine Cones Pack which adds the perfect touch of nature’s beauty to your winter decor.
2. Deck the stairs
To create a truly magical Christmas presence, you can decorate the empty spaces in your house. Often located in the entrance hall where people usually enter, decorating your stairs can instantly elevate your house and leave guests amazed. You can wrap some
Tinsel Star Garland around the banister to create a beautiful trail. You could also add some
Clear Christmas Baubles to add more festivity in the room.
3. Make use of ribbon
Ribbon is one of the best items to use for your Christmas decorations due to its multi-functionality. You can use this
Pack of 16 Satin Ribbons or the
Glitter Ribbon Spools in Assorted Colours to add to your Christmas tree or tie around your decor pieces (candle sticks, jars, centrepieces). To enhance your Christmas scheme even more, you can use ribbon bows to tie around your chairs, wrap gifts and add accents to your banisters.
4. Create an all-season wreath
Decorating for each season can be fun, but it can also be quite costly and time-consuming. Luckily, you can make an all-season friendly one that can be re-used all year round. Materials needed are:
- Wire cutter
- Floral wire
- Wire wreath form
- Hot glue gun
As for the greenery, you can go foraging in the great outdoors and collect some raw foliage, eucalyptus and dried thistle to give your wreath a fresh, natural feel. You can also add some pinecones, red ribbon and coloured baubles to create a more festive look.
