My Mom and I started the holiday tradition of making cedar wreaths. They are way too fun to make. Simple is better. They are beautiful, and they smell wonderful!

Every year, I try to add more and more holiday cheer without spending anything or very little. This is what I came up with after purchasing $0.50 Poinsettia flowers and using items I already had around the house. The wooden sled I purchased for $0.25 at a garage sale during the summer. I painted it black and stenciled our name on it (I printed out the font, traced it, and then painted). Talk about cheap and pretty!
The Noel sign is made from re-purposed fence posts. I just chopped them to size with my circular saw, and then nailed them to three cross support beams. I sanded it down and then painted it with the cheap acrylic paint that you can purchase at Walmart or any craft store. I just used a color I had on hand. Then I printed out the letters N-O-E-L and traced them on the wood with a sharpie. Lastly, I filled in the letters with white paint. That took two coats. I free handed the tree silhouette. You could get a stencil off clipart or Google images though. So this sign really cost me $0 since I used what I had. That's always my goal!

| I also made this sign out of an old piece of fence post. I just sanded it down and painted it. I got the idea off of Pinterest, and added a few extras. |

| I added this little tree banner that I made out of felt and ribbon I had in my trusty old craft bin. It's festive and cheap. |
