Instead of purchasing ornaments and decorations for your tree and home, why not make some?  You can use the old salt dough, cut it with holiday themed cookie cutters, and let it air dry.  Decorate these, paint them, add some sizzle and hang them up or give them to friends and family to hang on their trees/in their homes!

Another idea from a reader is to use acorns and paint Santa faces on them for Christmas, or witches faces for Halloween (with the tops as hats!)

Being creative for every holiday, with your gifts, ornaments and decoration is not only a fantastic way to save money, it is also great family fun!
