I decorated my altar for Yule this year and spent under $15 doing so. Despite being on a budget, this was the best Yule yet with beautiful garland, new wine glasses for cakes & ale plus a really special ritual to pull it all together.
I had the opportunity to spend one of my favorite Wiccan holidays with some special to me, and with this anticipated ritual, I knew I wanted to go all out. Yet, like many are experiencing lately, money can be tight! So I started at the dollar store, developed a color scheme and progressed from there.
It took some time and a bargain hunting, but it can be accomplished. If you are stuck when it comes altar decorating for the holidays, take a peak at the list below to see how I managed to decorate for under $15!
