Dollar Store Decorating for Christmas

Dollar Store decorations

Today I am kicking off some dollar store Christmas decor ideas. I just love shopping at dollar stores and turning the frugal items into fun, holiday items. I find it a fun challenge to go into the store and see what kind of home decorations I can make using the items. With everything only costing a dollar, it is a frugal way to make my home more festive and elegant.

We have a couple of different types of dollar stores nearby, so I feel fortunate.

This is what I bought at the store:

I took the floral sprigs and put them in a mason jar and added some burlap,

and tied with a ribbon. Now you do not see the stems in the bottom of the glass!

Next I surrounded the jar with the dollar store bell garland

Then I took the tree ornaments and attached a cardboard base

to put in each bowl.

and here are what they became:
