Christmas is nearly here. For real. No joke.

Some of you are just now finding the time to decorate, and more likely than not, you’re not eager to spend a fortune on decorations —especially after gift shopping, travel costs, and the usual year-end expenses have taken their toll on your wallet.

As fun as it sounds to transform your home into a life-size gingerbread house, you don’t have to break the bank to bring holiday spirit to your home. Keep things simple (it’s trending on Instagram this year!) and work with items you can pick up at the dollar store or may already have at home.

These last-minute decor ideas are cheap, simple, and perfect for crafters of various skill levels. So you can get back to actually celebrating the holidays.
