Three Things Thursday: Frugal Christmas Ideas from Pinterest

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

December 8, 2011 By Cherie Lowe

Yay, it’s Thursday again!  That means it’s time for Three Things Thursday.

You see, I’ve been searching Pinterest for Frugal and Meaningful ways to celebrate Christmas.  You will find my “celebrate the season” board is already filling with plenty of ideas!  Each Thursday in December, I’ll share Three of my absolute favorites with you!

I’m not much on DIY decorations but I think even I could pull this off with last summer tomato cages!  Simply wrap the upside down cage with a string of lights.  I’m a sucker for white lights but this could be festive with multi-color or single color lights too.  And best of all, it’s great for indoor or outdoor decor.  New England Design and Construction also has a great idea for creating a “tree” out of lights and a ladder!

I think this idea is absolutely ADORABLE and could either be homemade or halfway homemade with ease.  Asparagus for the arms, teeny carrot nose, fruit leather scarf, thyme wreath.  Adorable!  You could even do a chocolate chip cheeseball {those are delish!} and use candies instead.  Lady Betty Crocker has still got it!  And you can even make this recipe ahead of time.

This site has 15 Christmas gifts for $2!  These are perfect for the special people in your life you want to bless but don’t have the bankroll to give even a $5 gift card.  I LOVE these ideas and plan on using more than one!  Lady Janet from Today’s Fabulous Finds keeps it simple and creative.

Got a frugal Christmas idea?  Gift giving, decorating, entertaining and more doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg!  Share your idea in the comments and follow me on Pinterest for money saving ideas for Christmas and beyond!
