Thrifty Decorating Ideas for the Holidays© Terri Seymour of www.seymourproducts.com Decorating for the holidays is a fun and exciting wayto bring the holiday cheer to your home.

Over the years, I have usedmany of the ideas below to save money and spruce up my holiday decor.HalloweenUse tin cans for eerie jack-o-lantern luminaries.Before you throw those cans away, make more use of them. Poke holes in them in a scary face design andthen use tealights or votive candles for lighting. These are great for indoors or out.Paint empty coffee cans to look like witches, goblins,ghosts, pumpkins. They look adorable and aregreat for holding, snacks, treats, etc.Use pieces of plywood to make scary headstones for your yard!ThanksgivingMake a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece, with a pretty birch log. Drill holes in the log for autumnleaves/branches, birds. Be creative and add whatyou like. This is a great idea for a Christmas one as well. You could also use a pumpkin for a prettyThanksgiving or Halloween centerpiece.Fill baskets with leaves, mini pumpkins, guords, acorns,and other natural autumn items.Paint some tin cans to look like pilgrims, pumpkins,or scarecrows.ChristmasEvergreen boughs! These can be used for centerpieces,mantle displays, arranged around candles, displayed onyour wall with bulbs and other items. Add some pinecones, silk pointsettias, birds, etc. as well. One of my favorite decorations is a pretty glass bowlor basket filled with colorful glass balls, pine cones, and little evergreen boughs. This makes a wonderful centerpiece or coffee table display.Make a pretty potpourri basket filled with pine cones,evergreen sprigs, dried oranges/apples.Decorate empty canning jars and turn them into Christmas lanterns with votive candles.Decorate your dining room chairs with pretty ribbon.Turn old cds into mini-wreaths for your tree.
