Creative & Frugal Christmas Ideas!

Creative & Frugal Christmas Ideas! Emily from 52 Mantels is back! I love it when she is able to contribute crafts for the site! She makes the best stuff, they are adorable and she makes it so easy to do! Her own home is filled with these wonderful things she makes.

I’ll share a secret with you. Emily was my DD’s BFF growing up, and she was one of the teens in our youth group, too. We always knew she had this penchant for crafting, she got it from her mother Susan over at Permanent Posies who shares wonderful recipes with us!

This is a wonderful round-up of past frugal Christmas Crafts she has done – in the coming weeks she will be guest posting with fun Holiday craft tutorials for us to get ready for the holidays!

Let’s get started!

Christmas is my most favorite time of year! And, it’s the perfect time to do a little crafting. Bringing Christmas cheer to your house doesn’t have to cost a lot of money!

These Creative & Frugal Christmas Ideas were all made using supplies around the house and a few dollar store purchases. Easy and inexpensive as most of the supplies can be picked up at Dollar Tree!

To make these Wrapping Paper Christmas Topiaries, I simply shopped my house and Christmas supplies!

Cheap ornaments and chalkboard paint created easy and inexpensive DIY Chalkboard Ornaments!

I love decorating every room in my house around Christmas, including my daughter’s room. This Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath was made with extra ornaments and an embroidery hoop and added some fun charm to her sweet nursery!

Striped socks and a dollar store wreath make for one very cute So-Simple Sock Christmas Wreath!

Who doesn’t love easy art? This Wrapping Paper Christmas Tree Art was made using Christmas wrapping paper and a decorative circle punch. I love that this tree can be completely customized to any color scheme!

Jello, yogurt and strawberries come together in this cute and kid-friendly Merry Christmas Parfait. Pair them with FREE PRINTABLE toppers and you’ve got yourself an easy, festive party dish!

Happy Christmas Crafting!
