DIY Dollar Store Christmas Decoration Ideas

Plastic Spoon Christmas Tree

Ever seen a beautiful Christmas tree made from spoons? If not, then make one this year. All you need to accomplish this unique project is plastic spoons, Paper Mache, spray paint, and glue. I absolutely love this unique idea, and it won’t cost more than $5.

It doesn’t look very safe, but you will be amazed at how easy it is to make this Christmas tree using plastic spoons.

Berry Wreath

The Dollar Store always has these amazing berries (not the real kind) that you can use to add a splash of color to flower arrangements. They are the main ingredients to create this amazing Christmas wreath.

These berry sprigs are about $1 each. Use as many as you want to make the thickness of the wreath as per your liking. Apart from berry sprigs, you only need a wreath form and some hot glue. See how easy it is to make this wreath, and it looks beautiful with a combination of red and white berry twigs.

Winter Vases

Another decor idea using berry twigs. They are absolutely easy to make and would need Snow-Tex by DecoArt to create a snowy effect with a brush. You can create the snowy effect in whatever pattern you want and then fill them with ornaments, pine cones, whatever you wish.

What more, they would also make perfect Christmas gifts for anyone all under budget as it costs just around $2 to make. Not to mention handmade gifts have a unique charm.

Cupcake Liner Garland


Never thought leftover cupcake liners could be so useful. All you need is leftover cupcake liners or get some from the dollar tree to make these beautiful garlands using them. You can use yarn or any other type of string to hold the liners.

To create a fuller effect, alternate the way the liners face on the twine: back to back, front to front, or you’ll end up stringing the liners for a long time to get the perfect length.  Great for Christmas tree or mantel decoration.

 Epsom Salts Luminaries


Epsom salt works great as paint for art projects. Making luminaries using Epsom salt is a cool idea, and it looks great everywhere, be it weddings, holidays, winter, or even a beach themed porch! Making them is easy and fast, too; all you need to do is apply Mod Podge on glass jars and roll over the jars in Epsom salts. Done! Easiest DIY Christmas Craft is ready!

Christmas Snow Balls

Toothpicks are so cheap. You can get hundreds of them for a dollar. Create these really unique Christmas snowball ornaments using those toothpicks. All you need to do is to grab a few Styrofoam balls and get started sticking in those toothpicks.
