Do not let the Covid-19 pandemic steal your Christmas this year.
Celebrate with family and friends by decorating your house on a low budget by following the DIY ideas listed below.
Go big outdoors
Nothing sets the tone for Christmas more than having a truly show-stopping display at the front door, So get creative, thing outside the box and swap the traditional string lights for something jaw dropping.
Balloon tree
Trade the old classic Christmas tree for a balloon tree. This helps to choose colours that match your theme and is cheaper than a Christmas tree.
Upcycle old jars
Turn any old jar into a cheap decoration worthy of your holiday table with a little something you can find in the house to spruce it up.
Make your own mistletoe
This bundle of greenery, also known as a kissing ball, is a must have in any house over the festive season.
Use paper in unexpected ways
A few simple folds can transform scrapbook paper into mantle decor that lends a pop of colour to the more traditional decor elements you likely already have.
Experiment with gold leaf
The gilded craft supply is easier to work with than you might think, and quickly transforms a wide range of everyday objects – DIY ornaments, chargers or vases – into extraordinary decor pieces.
Decorate the fridge
There are some spots in the house that are a given when it comes to decorating. But why not the fridge?
Make your own stockings
Making your own stockings is not only unique and cheap, but a fun family craft that will keep members busy for hours.
Make an advent calendar
Get that Christmas spirit going by starting the countdown.
Use greenery in your gift wrap
For a cohesive feel, choose a gift wrap theme that complements the rest of your holiday decor.
