DIY Decor On A Budget

June 14, 2023 By: Sweet Frugal Lifecomment

Frugal Decoration Ideas You Can DIY

I don’t know if this is just me…but I seem to always feel like my home needs an update.  I get one room looking just right, and then I notice another room is outdated.  I love giving my home a new look….but it can get so expensive!  Which is why I do a lot of DIY decor on a budget.  It’s the best way to give a home a fresh new look, without breaking the bank! 

If you are like me and wanting to makeover your home, but also on a budget, make sure to try some of these easy ideas listed below!

Dollar Tree Tiered Tray

Frugal and Dollar Tree just belong in the same sentence, don’t you think????  Which is exactly why I love this Dollar Tree Tiered Tray.  It’s the absolute cutest craft and will only take a few hours and a few dollars to throw together.  Plus, it’s something that anyone could make, whether you deem yourself “crafty” or not!  Whooo-hooo!

 

Custom Painted DIY Doormat

It’s always fun to get a fresh new door mat, but what’s even more fun is getting a fresh new door mat for a cheap price!  Am I right or am I right????  

This cute Custom Painted DIY Doormat is the perfect way to update your front porch while on a tight budget.
