Do you want to decorate your apartment for the holidays?
Everyone wants to be festive, but you do not want to spend a lot of
money if you are leaving for the holidays. Here are some great
inexpensive tips on how to make your apartment a holiday wonderland.
- Personalize and hang stockings for your family. – this
can be a fun project and very inexpensive. Purchase plain stockings and
paint, glitter, felt, etc. and create your own designs for your
stockings.
- Remember in Elementary School when you used to make paper snow
flakes in art class. Flashback to those times and make your apartment a
winter wonderland with this easy art trick.
- Hang ornaments from the stairs and or ceiling. Just make sure you do not damage the walls or ceiling while doing this.
- Use some ribbon and ties to put around chairs and lamps. This adds some festive spirit to even the smallest furniture.
- Make a giant present out of your door by using some wrapping paper
and a bow. It instantly looks festive and adds so much holiday spirit
to your apartment.
- Use holiday cards that you receive to decorate the walls in your apartment.
- Play Christmas music on your ipod or on Pandora!

Do you get too many greeting cards over the holidays? Here are some great ideas for what to do with them after the Holiday season is over! Have you tried any of these!
1
Scan or Photograph: Keep digital copies of important cards. File them
by year, occasion, or filtered in your digital photo album.
2 Turn into A Book: Send your greetings to Cards for Keeps and they'll transform them into a bound book. If you're feeling crafty, you can try doing this yourself by following the blog Something Turquoise's DIY tutorial.
3
Reuse: I love well designed greeting cards. So much thought has gone
into the design, so why not turn it into something else? As long as
you're okay with losing the greeting part of the card, you could frame
it, cut it up and use it for another project, make it into a gift tag,
etc. The options are endless!
4 Turn into A New Card: Much in
the same vein as above, a card does not need to be used just once. If
it's a folded card, cut it in half and use the front as a postcard.
5 Donate to a Charity: Before you toss any unwanted cards, consider donating them. St. Jude's Ranch for Children will recycle used greeting cards and turn them into new holiday and greeting cards. You can also purchase their recycled cards to support their programs and services.
