Christmas decor on a budget

| |

I was so happy with my Thanksgiving-Decor-On-The Cheap (I loooove hyphenating words), that I decided to try Xmas-Decor-On-The-Cheap.

I found a little "tree," which is really a plant that has a lemony smell to it.

Then I made a star using a cereal box and beautiful IKEA wrapping paper

Then I bought ornaments. I was planning on making ornaments by hand, but I couldn't resist buying these little wooden ones. They're almost identical to ones I had growing up, and I love wood ornaments.

Then I took a Christmas napkin from Ikea, cut out the little figures, and glued them to a cereal box.

Then, I set up the nativity my mom bought me in Bath

Then I took some more Ikea wrapping paper and placed it under the "tree", and voila, we now have a little festive Christmas nook.
