We all love to decorate for Christmas, making everything look so festive. But sometimes that can add up and get expensive. There's nothing like awesome easy affordable DIY Christmas decorations to save money, and to make everything look amazing. Here are a few awesome ones I found to share! Enjoy:
1.Christmas decoration advent calendar (Woman's Day) - You can decorate your tree one day at a time with this adorable Christmas advent calendar. To make you cover a 21 x 24 foam board in fabric and glue the back with hot glue. You can then hang store bought manila tags in rows with straight pins and add your own ornaments. To mark each date, you just punch holes in wood craft circles, and stamp with numbers and hang each number above an ornament. Beautiful!

6. Yarn and button yarn topiaries (Better Homes and Gardens) - This one is good for the kids. Using a hot glue gun, secure the end of a ball of yarn to the bottom of a foam cone with glue. Continue to wrap the whole cone tightly in yarn. Cut off the end when you have reached the top and secure with hot glue. Attach a large pompom with hot glue to the top, and a variety of different sized buttons all over the tree.
