December 8, 2015 By Meegan 8 Comments

I am also happy to be a part of the Home for the Holidays Tour this week. With 15 of my most talented blogging friends you are bound to enjoy and be inspired.

Are you going to be be Home for the Holidays this year? We aren’t sure what our plans are yet, BUT we do know we will be with family and lots of grand-kiddos.

12 EASY Christmas Decorating Ideas

Are you looking for EASY Christmas Decor Ideas? Let’s get started…

I like EASY decorating, don’t you? Well that what my post is all about today. I have 12 EASY Christmas Decor Ideas just for YOU.
Christmas Scene with Santa

Find a treasured Christmas figurine. It could be a music box, a special ornament, or in this case a Nativity scene. Place it under glass on a silver tray or glass plate. You now have a beautiful piece of Christmas art for a table or even on a desk.

Christmas Tree on a Vintage Sled

Place a tree in a bucket wrapped with drop cloth, like I made here. With a few lights and red jingle bells you have a tree idea for a small room, including a bathroom.

Grapevine Wreath on a Vintage Sled

A sled, a grapevine wreath and a few red berries add a nice touch inside OR outside, don’t you think?

Christmas Tree with Tea Cups

I like adding a couple of vintage tea cups filled with ornaments to our Christmas tree. I tie them with organza wired ribbon so they stay put. The cups are thrifted, so it wasn’t an expensive addition.

Another economical way to add some interest to your Christmas tree is to tuck pictures in the branches. I call it my Memory tree. All the pictures are in black and white with white or silver ornaments and garland.

Christmas Muffin Tin with Candles and Bells

SUPER easy way to decorate for Christmas is with a vintage muffin tin, sugar berries, candles, crystals and red jingle bells. I would have to say I LOVE this look so much.

Filling an olive bucket with a tree, pine garland, lights, pine cones and berries, is another one of my EASY Christmas Decor Ideas. I just LOVE how the lights shine through the bucket slits, don’t you?

Living Room Christmas Trees

Having more than one tree can be less expensive than you think. And it is Easy Peasy! I bought 3 small trees during the Summer for less that $40. They vary from 3-4 ft in height. So I think I got a pretty good deal. You can also find small trees at The Dollar Tree, like I did here.

Monogram Christmas Ornament

Make simple ornaments with wood slices, Mod Podge, glitter and stickers, faux snow and jute. I made some and it was less than 20 cents a piece.

Vintage Scale and Ornament Basket

Vintage scales, baskets and sequined ornaments is a SUPER easy way to add Christmas cheer to any style home.

Succulents for Christmas Decorating

We have all seen Epsom salt in a jar for Christmas. But have you thought of adding faux succulents to your jars, rather than pine tree branches? It lends to a soft look with the beautiful green. Just like a snow fallen outdoors picture.

blue and red Christmas Vignette

If you get a chance, add a tinsel tree. My favorite color is blue, but you can choose from pink, silver, red, champagne, and even black for a touch of Christmas sparkle for your home. I found mine at Hobby Lobby.

    You have the best ideas! I’ve got to start looking for tea cups when I’m thrifting as I lover the look of yours on your tree. After seeing your scale decked out for Christmas, I need to get mine out to use in a vignette.
