I decorated my fireplace mantle for xmas in about 15 minutes for under $5.
First I cut some Juniper bush branches with berries on them from my yard. If you don't have any in your yard you can easily drive just outside of town and find some on the side of the road.
Then I cooked chili for my family for dinner and kept the cans. I peeled the labels off of the cans and washed them out. I drilled holes into the sides and put tealight candles in them to make pretty candle holders basically for free.
I had been collecting wine corks for a while so I filled a cute vase with them and put some on the mantle around the vase.
I found the Dear Santa: Define Good sign in a home and garden magazine so I cut it out and taped it to the wall behind an old wreath I had.
I then randomly placed a couple of other Christmas decorations I purchased at a second hand store for $2.99 among the greenery.
There you have it. Mantle fully decorated for under $5 in about 15 min.
