MORE Christmas Decorations for Cheap!

Alright, so just a couple more 

things I would like to 

show, while I am on my Christmas kick.

I usually like to have some sort of 

decoration on my table, and 

I was trying figure 

out what, and then I remembered

my trifle bowl that my 

mom gave me last year.  

Perfect!

I just used some left over ornaments from 

my Christmas tree, what is the 

point in decorating the 

back of the tree

to look good, when no one is 

going to see it.  

Put those ornaments to use somewhere

else! So pretty much those 

were free.  Also I 

just put a couple of pine cones 

in there that I bought at Winco for 

about $3.  And I bought the 

silver charger at the 

dollar store.  The little thing wrapped

around the bottom, was 

$1.50.

For this I spent a grand total of

$5.50.

(Which the pinecones were also used on 

my Christmas tree, so well worth it.)

And my favorite:

I saw this board on Pinterest and fell in 

love! I thought to myself,

"this can't be that hard to make,

can it?"

So I got a board, painted it white,

bought stickers (which were $2.11) put them 

on the board, and painted it red.

When it dried, the plan

was to peel

them off and be done.

Unfortunately, not that easy.  

Red paint seeped under the stickers and

so I couldn't peel them off.

I had to use my husband's 

exacto knife and scratch them all 

off.  This took HOURS.

After I finally got took the letters

off, I painted them white

again.  The project was 

finally finished.

It took countless hours,

but I have to say it was well worth it.

The red wreath I have had for 

a couple years.  I bought the little shelf

at a garage sale this summer

for $1.  I have had 

the red charger for a while, and don't 

remember how much it was.  I bought the tree

with the others, and it was only

$2.50.  The other thing

on the shelf 

was $10.  I know it is way more

than everything else, I 

bought, but I have wanted something like

that for so long, so I caved.

The over all total for my wall was:

$13.50.

This may not be everyone's style,

but it just made me realize

that decorating doesen't 

have to cost a fortune.

Hope you enjoyed!
