It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s also the most expensive time of the year! I don’t know about you, but I pretty much want to throw my budget out the window every Christmas, every year.

With decorating, and presents, and Christmas treats and everything Christmas related, the costs can start to add up. Being the frugal person that I am, I have to stop for a minute and come up with more budget-friendly ways to celebrate the season.

One of these little tricks is finding DIY Christmas Decorations that are easy and inexpensive. Every year, I follow some simple DIY tutorials and add to my Christmas decor stash.
