Crafts · Home Interior
Welcome to The 12 Days of Christmas Tour, I’m number 11! The 11 Pipers Piping and I are sharing 11 budget friendly Christmas decor ideas! I mean let’s face the facts, we all get our Pipes Piping when we find a bargain! I hope they don’t kick me off the tour! Well what would you do with 11 Pipers Piping, I’ve never smoked a pipe in my life…well except for that time in the 60’s. Just kidding MOM ;) I threw in a few free fun printables too! That’s kind of like a cherry on top!

1. The two antler initials on the door are from Groopdeazs for less than $15 each. 
2. Use clippings from the garden in your urns. The tall limbs were spray painted silver, but you could leave them natural for a ZERO $ SPENT! 
3. Use craft paint and last years ribbon to decorate your door decor. 
4. Buy your flocked tree after Christmas for less than $40, from Walmart (last year)! 
5. Buy a bulk variety of ornaments from Sam’s Club for $29 and decorate the whole tree. 
6. Add a few deer from Dollar Tree! 
7. Print free Printable Tags from me, FREE! 
7. Create a centerpiece with Dollar Tree vases and stumps. Add greenery from the yard and faux snow. 
8. Use scarves from Old Navy on your mantel for Christmas decor and wear them later ;) 
9. Always buy awesome deer at yard sales, you’ll never regret it! 
10. Buy a $9.99 wreath of boxwood from Trader Joe’s and small (real) poinsettias from Walmart for under $5.00. 
11. Print more of my free gift tags for gifts. Scroll down for the links.

I love all of your ideas, Debbie and it looks like you spent a fortune decorating! I LOVE your flocked tree, and what a steal it was! Thanks for sharing your beautiful décor! XOXO
I LOVE all of your ideas! And yes, a good bargain combined with your creative ideas definitely has my pipes piping.
I love the idea of using a scarf on the mantel, all of the deer are so pretty...I'm partial to deer. The wine gift tag is brilliant! I can't believe that boxwood wreath was only 9.99. I could go on and on, but I have lots of pinning to do!
Everything is gorgeous! I especially love the furry "rug" in front of your fireplace! :) Thanks for joining the tour. Jeanette
Such a beautiful and festive space and on a budget!? That's what I'm talking about! LURVE!
Hugs~Beth

Thanks so much!
Have a great week,

I LOVE all your tips so much. Totally my mindset too! I CANNOT believe you got that gorgeous tree for $40. That's amazing!
Shop the after Christmas sales to find one Megan :)
My favorite tip? The scarf from Old Navy! Makes me want to shop my closet!
Thanks Marty, yes, shop your closet!
Your Xmas decor is so gorgeous and what amazing tips for decorating on a budget! Fabulous!
Your home looks so pretty! These are some really great ideas. I love the plaid scarf idea! Thanks for sharing your tips and your home.
Wow everything is gorgeous! Great tips too! Thanks for sharing on Monday Funday Link Party!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, just dammmm beautiful!
Good Morning Debbie! Thanks for the lovely tour. The tags on the bottles are the cutest. I bet a magazine... or several will come calling soon. Your photos are great. The one with your fireplace and your do lying on the carpet is definitely magazine worthy!
your ideas are awesome and your pics are amazing. may have to get some of those initials for the door. Happy holidays sweet neighbor!
Gosh these are so wonderful! TFS
Debbie, What a wonderful treat to find you and of course your white, fluffy and furry friend. We have a white, green-eyed very fluffy kitty named Heidi and the two of them would look adorable together. Debbie, I am so impressed by your fabulous Christmas Décor!
Everything looks so lovely and Elegant, just as you do in your accompanying photos. I'm very interested in purchasing one of the lovely Antler-Initial pieces for my front door. I thought the way you painted and decorated it was absolutely perfect. I tried to find the vendor which you mentioned was Groopdeazs and the All Wise and Great google seemed to want to direct me to Groopdealzs. I find myself in a bit of a quandary. Which is the correct name for your vendor and how should I describe the item to be purchased? It is going to be fun putting this all together somewhat slowly; I do enjoy all those after-Christmas clearance sales. While I haven't a single plaid scarf in my scarf collection, I do have some lovely re-embroidered lace scarves with pearl embellishments and others which are similar and might work well. Otherwise, a brief trip to Old Navy for some plaid scarves will be coming soon. Thank you so much for sharing your oh so Elegant Christmas Décor, it and You, are Greatly Appreciated! Jan Duda
Debbie, I just love your front door decorations! Where would
I be able to to purchase the items that you use?
Thank you for your help and your wonderful idea!!
Thanks Vickie, here the FB page for the wreaths:https://www.facebook.com/Unfinished-Wood-Co-623732704356502/
Love the white Christmas Tree and the Wreath!! Colors look so fresh and "alive" (: It's a pity we can't get much of the decor you used here in Singapore... Have to source for alternatives here for the upcoming Christmas. Anyway, love your pictures and idea! Have bookmarked this page for this Christmas (:
