Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year, do you have a favorite decoration that you love putting up every year to celebrate the season? I sure do! We all know Christmas is an expensive time from gifts to decor to travel expenses, don’t let decorating your home for the holidays be a part of the expenses. Today I’m sharing a quick and simple Christmas decoration idea that is inexpensive, an easy craft for anyone and is the perfect room decor for your home.

Follow this step by step tutorial of how to make this inexpensive Christmas decor idea in about 15 minutes. This week at Deck the Home, my DIY blogging friends are sharing holiday decor that can be made in under two hours. You might be asking yourself “How do I decorate for Christmas cheap?” Well here is one way to do it with dollar tree supplies and buying items on sale. I bought the scrapbook paper and the vinyl (on sale at Hobby Lobby) for $1.60 and a $1 for the frame so this cost $2.60 to make. Are you smiling yet?

Let’s Create a Quick and Simple Christmas Decoration

As I always say when projects involve SVGs, choosing the SVG is the hardest part. Their are just so many cute Christmas SVG. In Cricut Design Space™ I uploaded an adorable SVG that fits my family perfectly from Lovesvg. If you aren’t sure how to upload SVG to Design Space, follow this tutorial.

If using a Cricut Maker or other cutting machine, cut your design in the white vinyl (or any color you choose) and weed your design.

For vinyl stickers, just carefully add your design to the glass of the frame.

Wash your Dollar Tree picture frame and get it ready to apply the vinyl. Using transfer paper add the vinyl design onto the glass of the picture frame.

Place your scrapbook paper in the frame and put the frame back together. Pretty, quick and simple right?

I’m a huge fan of red and black buffalo check plaid and have started using it in my Christmas decor, but you can choose any Christmas scrapbook paper or wrapping paper to use as your background. The buffalo check Christmas decorations are just so cute and I love that farmhouse style.

For fall I made one of these projects and it brought me so much joy to see it everyday. Picture frames inside tobacco baskets look so cute. This simple Christmas decoration idea will look great in any room of your home. Perfect for a side table, bookcase or a guest room.
