Quick and Cheap Holiday Ornaments!
By Kathy Wilson - The Budget Decorator
Budget Decorating Columnist

Sometimes when our budget is tight, our Christmas trees and holiday rooms can seem a little bare. No problem, I have some great ideas for decking those halls with cheap, easy and quick ornaments!

*Tie a ribbon around a pine cone, dip half the cone in white craft paint for snow, and let dry on a piece of foil or waxed paper. Hang from curtain rods, porch overhangs, or the tree!

*Hang your cookie cutters with red curling ribbon.

*Ask your kids if you can borrow all those darn fast food toys that you’ve been stepping on, and hang with ribbon.

*Check out the thrift shop for old costume jewelry…especially earrings, makes a great ornament!

 

*Invest in one roll of wire edged ribbon, and learn to tie a bow. For instructions, try http://www.save-on-crafts.com/howtomakebows.html Beautiful bows tucked into the tree make quite an elegant impact for very little money!

 

*Cut last years gift wrap into squares, (or pick up some from the dollar shop!) fold into a fan with an accordion fold, and tie from ribbons on the tree.

*Use yellow craft foam to cut simple stars, thread a hanging loop with a needle, and cover your tree with the sign of hope!

Get your kids involved, and make this year a celebration to remember, no matter how tight your budget.

Bless you all, and Merry Christmas!
