I tried to put together a list that would be full of frugal DIY ideas for you. Most of these are very cheap to make, some are a little more expensive, but they are all a lot cheaper to make then they would be to buy. Just use your frugal skills and hunt for sales and clearance items to really make these decor ideas great for your budget.

I love this idea to turn an old wood pallet, that you can grab from the hardware store for really cheap, and turning it into a cute Christmas tree. All you need is some green craft paint and Christmas lights to decorate. You can add a bow, little ornaments, or even glitter snow. You can see the tutorial here.

I really like this! These snowflakes are made out of popsicle sticks and glue. Just grab a glue gun and start crafting. You can even get some glitter spray paint in red, gold, or silver to really make them pop. You can get the full tutorial here.

This snowman wreath is super cute and the kids will love it! You will need some decorative mesh and wreath frames to get started. Decorate it anyway you like. You can get the full tutorial here.

I love these mason jar candle holders. They are very cheap to make and would look great on the mantle. You just need little pinecones, mason jars, snow texture paint, and some twine to give it that wintry look. Get the full tutorial here.

This is probably my favorite Christmas decor idea on this list. I really love the look of this mirror, it’s very classy. Try to find a mirror that’s on clearance somewhere like Target or Walmart. She used a stencil that you can purchase here. You can get the full tutorial here.

I love the idea of using family photos in your decor. You can get some block letters and red craft paint at your local craft store. You can have it say Noel, Joy, Happy Holidays, etc. You can get the full tutorial here.

If you don’t want to hang a wreath, you can make this sign for your door. You can purchase the kit for only $25 and it comes with everything you need to make it. This also makes it easier since you won’t have to run to the store trying to find everything you need.

I love these Township Candle jars. They have a very old world feel to them. You can decorate them in any colors you want. She offers a template and a full tutorial here.

I think this reindeer canvas would look very elegant hanging above the mantle. You can use any color of glitter you want but I think gold or silver would look the best. Just grab some blank canvas, glitter, glue, and a cut out and you should be good to go. Get the full tutorial here.

This is a very frugal decor idea considering you can probably get most of the supplies in your backyard. I’m not great with tools so I will skip this one but if you are more confident than myself, you can get the full tutorial here.

This is probably the most expensive craft on the list to make because you have to buy several pieces of wood. If you already have wood, then you are all set. There isn’t a stencil for this exact lettering but you can find some very similar ones here. The full tutorial for this woodland sign is here.

I think these would be so cute out on the table. You can use all sorts of different woodland animals or even little snowmen. You should be able to find things like that at your local craft store. Just use the salt for the snow. You can get the tutorial here.

These DIY Christmas decor ideas would add the Christmas spirit to any home. I love that they are all fairly simple and affordable to make. I hope they have given you some inspiration to go out and get crafty.
