It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is a time filled with love, peace, joy, and celebrating with loved ones! Although I strongly believe the holidays shouldn’t be an expensive time, I do realize it can be. One thing you don’t necessarily have to spend money on is decorations. Fill your lives with the joyous sights of the holidays without it costing your wallet.
Upcycling is a great way to fill your area with some cheer and if you’re looking for more budget friendly ways to get decorations check your local thrift stores and definitely hit up the after Christmas sales. Upcycling is not only great for your wallet but also the environment. If you’re looking for materials to do these upcycling projects with, a great place is to look is on your local Buy Nothing group.
Here you’ll find over 20 wonderful upcycled Christmas decor ideas from some great blogs. Christmas is my jam and I’m very excited to make some of these like; cookie cutter garland, bottle cap snowmen, and more. What about you?

![People come in all shapes and sizes!
I was born naturally muscular, tall and big boned and with that came lots of teasing; \"shaped like a boy\", \"thunder thighs\", \"broad shoulders like a boy\", \"big hands\", \"giant\" were a few of the popular things I\'d hear.
To all you who teased and bullied me, thank you. Thank you for making my skin thick!
I love my thunder thighs, I love my broad shoulders, I love that I have muscle definition without working out, I love how tall I am...
And I hope you eventually found some peace and love for yourself!](https://instagram.fphx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.180.1440.1440a/s150x150/139354378_876350799843162_4993163857669084495_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fphx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=106&_nc_ohc=G5DOA3dn-MgAX-PSE3m&tp=1&oh=239bb8f942fc6d54647ead0105d9f16d&oe=603447DE "People come in all shapes and sizes!
