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.

      Thank you Kate!

Hello, I'm Kumiko, but everyone just calls me Miko. Welcome to my blog, The Budget Mom. I am an Accredited Financial Counselor® , and mom to a rambunctious boy. Come along with me as I strive to live a life I love on a budget that I can afford. Read more about me.

RECENT YOUTUBE VIDEO

Ryen & I are talking about our June 2022 budget numbers! Not only do we show where our dollars went, but we also discuss if we stuck to our budget limits.

In this video, we are going over some heavy spending I had in June (thank you, sinking funds!) and Ryen gives an update on her debt payoff timeline. 

What do you do with your budget after the month is over, and you’re ready to begin a new month? Most people don’t realize it, but your spending throughout the month gives you some incredibly helpful information.

One of the first steps to creating and sticking to a realistic budget is tracking your expenses. Your spending is the underlying foundation for creating a budget and ensuring that your budgets in the future are successful.

If you are not aware of where your money is going, you can’t make the best decisions for your dollars. Today, I am going to show you how to extract all of the vital information from your expense trackers using the "Where Did My Money Go?" Worksheets.
