1. Get crafty. Take things that you already have and make them into decorations. It is amazing what you can do with some ribbon, markers, paper etc.
2. Hit up the dollar store. I was able to decorate most of my apartment for like $15! The stuff is so cute I wanted to buy all of it!
3. Don't forget about places like Party City, Michael's and Hobby Lobby. They will have unique things that are still pretty affordable!
4. Focus on things that can be left up to save time too. For example, Christmas lights don't have to be just for Christmas! They can be multi-purpose and used year round.
5. Try shopping after the holidays when things have gone on sale. It may feel a bit early to be Christmas shopping in January, but you will get such great deals!
