It’s time to bring the decorating inside this week as I continue my mission to DIY most of my Christmas decorations this year. This week I’m looking for the perfect table decor for my dining room table.
Christmas is absolutely my favorite time of year! I love all the cheery music, good food, great sales, and spending time with family and friends. I also love to decorate my home for Christmas, I want beautiful Christmas decor but do not want to spend an arm and a leg to get my desired look.
Recently, I took a trip to my local craft stores to stock up on craft supplies and browse the aisles. With Christmas decor out and about I decided to price the Christmas table decor to match my Christmas wreath and Christmas swags. I saw a gorgeous Christmas lantern centerpiece but it was over my budget!
It was priced at $59.00.
Being an avid DIY’er, I knew I could make my own for Under $50, so that is exactly what I did. I purchased most of my supplies from my local Dollar Tree and the remaining items from Amazon and local craft stores.
