  • Should I Go to Grad School? 5 Things to Consider First - February 25, 2021

If you are looking to decorate for Christmas on a small budget, then you have come to the right place. We are sharing 11 of our favorite DIY Dollar Store Christmas decorations that anyone can create!

Decorating for Christmas is one of my favorite things to do but every year it seems like there is not enough money in the budget for the beautiful displays I always want to buy. Christmas decor seems to get more expensive every year and the thought of spending a couple hundred dollars to decorate my house for less than a couple of months makes my stomach turn.

For the last two years, I have turned to the Dollar Store for affordable finds that I am able to turn into expensive looking Christmas decor all within a budget of $50 or less. If you are like me and enjoy crafting and being creative, then you really have an opportunity to make your Christmas decorations as unique as you are. It gives you the chance to make it your own and get exactly what you want – Christmas spirit without the price tag.
