Yes! You CAN enjoy a fun and fulfilling Christmas without spending a fortune – you just need to get a bit creative with your time and money. And I’m here to help you do just that! Simply scroll through the DIY blog posts below to find step-by-step guides to make your own decorations and visit the Christmas Category on my blog for many more seasonal money-saving tips…
SEASONAL SAVING
Firstly, there’s still time to make some cash in time for Christmas and the money-making blog post I wrote for AllThingsChristmas.com in September can help. It’s full of things you can do from home to get your hands on some extra money. It’s not too late to save for Christmas – with many of these tips you’ll have the money in your account within a week or so. Go for it!
NO-SEW CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS
I’ve just shared a new DIY video on my YouTube channel to help you make your own Christmas stockings. The great thing about this project is there’s NO SEWING involved! Instead, I’ve shared 3 alternative methods to craft your own designs using whatever fabrics you like. The result? Handmade stockings that coordinate with your interior decor or can be personalised in your family members’ favourite colours. Fab!
SPACE-SAVING CHRISTMAS TREES
If you’re short on space or don’t fancy having a real tree this year I’ve created not one, not two, but THREE easy DIY Christmas trees. These space-saving designs still bring a festive vibe into your home and give you somewhere to pile those presents! Plus, they’re all upcycled from materials rescued from skips so they’re sustainable too.
FESTIVE STAR-PRINT PHONE CASE
This week I’ve shared a quick and easy festive phone case video on my blog to help you personalise your phone for Christmas. This would also make a great gift, as you can personalise the case with a range of different designs, or even add a name or motto. You could go for a flurry of snowflakes or even create a metallic New Year’s Eve confetti design – whatever you choose, it couldn’t be easier to DIY it yourself!
UPCYCLED DECORATIONS
I’ve upcycled second-hand finds from my local charity shop into Scandinavian-style festive decorations. Check out the blog post to see how I made a Christmas Eve box, custom snowflake baubles and this delightful ‘Happy Holidays’ sign.
