Holiday decorating on a budget

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Nov 26, 2012 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

Holiday decorating on a budget…I can show you how. Today was a productive day. Mom and sis are gone:( So I decorated and kept busy all day in order not to be too sad.

Living far away is hard sometimes…but when we are together we sure appreciate our time with one another.

Anyhow...

I am on a roll with the Dollar tree,

and nature…which is free.

Simple chande this year.

I went with mostly red and whites in here.

The greenery, bows, and snowflakes all from the dollar tree.

The other ornaments are from Hobby lobby a year or two ago.

I adore these miniature ornaments.

They are perfect for my diy centerpiece I created today.

I had fun with a little spray paint AGAIN today.

the weather has been gorgeous here.

I decided some sticks  needed a little color before I created my twig piece…

better known as masterpiece.

Basically this whole centerpiece was free TODAY.

I had everything on hand.

Ornaments and snow flakes,

DOLLAR TREE

If I had to add everything up…I would say I spend a lot more dollars in the Dollar tree than I think…

but it’s still cheaper in the end.

That much I know.

You can see a hint of something else from the dollar tree in the background.

You will have to wait to see that one.

Just some snippets for now.

Tree is up, and tomorrow I will decorate it.

    Looking good Debbie … you never stop creating and it all looks great. Looking forward to the tree decorating. I am trying to get the Fall decorations put away … then time to think about Christmas. Time is passing so fast.

    Debbie I went to my Dollar Tree yesterday and they had a whole new line of Christmas items in. They are killing me this year! If you haven’t been in a few days, you might want to check it out.

    Nice centerpiece, Debbie. I always pop into The Dollar Store. You could accent an entire house for very little.

    It’s looking great and I agree that though we spend a lot in that store, it’s still a LOT of bang for the buck!

    Debbie love this centerpiece! So simple and elegant too! Love using things from nature too and yes the best part it’s free! I know how hard it is to be far from family.We have family scattered in different states.Unfortunately we don’t get to see them enough.
