No Space? Time? Money? - My DIY Holiday Decor

I'm so excited to share with y'all my Holiday decor from my little townhouse.  Now, we didn't have much space, time, or money to spend on decoration so I got inventive, and one could say practical ;)
Check out my decorations below:

Washi Tape Christmas Tree: 

This was so easy! I topped off the tree with a sparkly tulle bow and added real ornaments to give it a 3D effect! Lastly, I put  a tree skirt on the floor and our roommate presents at the bottom to make it look like a real Christmas tree, complete with the presents! 
















Popsicle Stick Snowflakes:
I stole this idea from Pinterest, I just bought a 5 dollar pack of popsicle sticks and made huge snowflakes that I spray painted gold! They were an elegant touch to our dining room. I also made a big Star of David ( not pictured, but with the same popsicle sticks) because my best friend is Jewish and I wanted to decorate for Hanukkah as well!












Ornaments from the Chandelier:
I love the way this looked. I used the same ornaments that were on the tree and strung them in layers from the chandelier in our dining room!




Paper Fans:
My roommate bought these cute paper fans from the craft store. They came in red, green, and white and in all different sizes. They were the perfect focal piece above our TV!















Felt Lights:
I had leftover felt from my Halloween costume and  I really wanted to decorate our basement with something colorful. So I cut out light shaped felt pieces and strung them from ribbon to look as if they were a big strand of colorful lights!













Stockings:
We had multiple sets of stockings, so we hung little ones by our fireplace and then we hung our bigger ones on our staircase!




A Winter Wreath:
Finally, I made this wreath by purchasing a three dollar blank wreath from Michaels, and then adding all the little elements. It's so much cheaper to make your own wreath vs buying one pre-made. I wanted to do it in blue and silver to also represent Hanukkah, and also so that I could keep it up past Christmas and it work as a winter wreath!










All in all I think I spent $20 total when decorating my house! Finding cheap and easy ways to decorate is fun and I love a little DIY project especially around the holidays!
