Dollar Store DIY: 7 Ways to Decorate Your Home for the Holidays
and I'm sorry to say, my holiday decor is looking a little sad. A hodge-podge of kids crafts, clearance knick-knacks, and random gifts has made up our Christmas decor for as long as I can remember. I have always longed for a classy, cohesive look throughout our home, but brand-new holiday decor has just never been in my budget. And then I found Pinterest ... a site full of amazing holiday decor ideas made from a few simple dollar store items. Check out my 7 favorite projects and get decorating!
1. Candy Cane Vase
It's been awhile since the hubby has brought me fresh flowers (ahem), but I may have to buy some for myself just so I have something to put in this adorable candy cane vase.

3. Glass Jar Centerpiece
Clearly, I like the glass jar look. This one is super easy - just fill with pine cones, beaded necklaces, and ornaments. And, if you don't have enough to fill it, simply beef it up with a hidden toilet paper roll.

6. Framed Ornaments
I would have never thought to frame ornaments, but what a fun way to showcase a few favorites! Spray paint an old frame, and use festive ribbon to hang a couple ornaments for display.

7. Kissing Ball
Now I don't have a boxwood hedge in my backyard, but I'm thinking I could put something together for this kissing ball craft.
