Where would I find homemade christmasdecorations to save money this year?
Are there any tips, tricks or strategies I can use to cut back on costs when decorating for the Christmas holiday? How do I make my own holiday decorations? How do I decorate on pennies for the holidays?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

And I quote from "10 Great Holiday Decorating Ideas…On a Budget! " by Kathleen Wilson

* First things first. Set a plan or a theme for your Christmas decorating. It doesn't cost a thing to have a good plan, and when you are working with budget ideas, this is what pulls your ideas together, and makes everything you do look purposeful, and personal. Some theme ideas for Christmas? The rustic lodge Xmas, a toyland Xmas, countries around the world, Victorian, country, Santa, snowmen, old fashioned, the list goes on and on!
* Make garlands out of felt scraps. Cut Xmas shapes out of felt in miniature, mini stockings, holly leaves, mittens, and string together with needle and floss or strong fishing line to hang all over the house. Remember when you string each shape, tie a knot on both sides of the shape to hold it in its place. You can add more dimension to the shapes by cutting two of each, stuffing them lightly, them sewing the two together. Glue would work also if you aren't a sewer. Saved used dryer sheets are perfect for this kind of stuffing, or even tiny fabric scraps that are too small for other uses.
