It’s coming up to that time of year where we dust off the office christmas decoration boxes that have been in storage. It’s often difficult to make a workplace festive without blowing a budget that many of us don’t have. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 DIY office Christmas decorations. Not only are they low cost to keep your boss happy but they are also easy!
1. Fridge Snowmen
Got white fridges at work? This is one of the cutest and easiest ways to make any canteen area feel festive.
To recreate the look all you need to do it find yourself some multi coloured card and cut! Remember to include the essentials such as eyes, scarf, carrot nose and buttons. Double sided sticky tape or white tac are ideal tools to hold the snowman together. If you want to make your office christmas decoration to last longer and be reusable for next year; laminating them is a good idea.
2. S-elf-ie
Next on our list of great ideas is the s-ELF-ie! Cut a face shaped hole out of a piece of tall cardboard then cover with coloured paper and viola! You have yourself an awesome an elf prop and office christmas decoration.
Use red and green paper to fashion an elf costume so all your colleagues can make themselves look silly.
If you’re a business with a social media presence then this is a great way to get staff engaging with your brand. Creating your own hashtag will also involve everyone.
3. Cotton snow balls
All you need to create this amazing decoration is white thread, a needle and some cotton balls. Simply thread a long piece of cotton through the needle and then thread through the cotton balls. You can try to spread them out evenly or let them vary to look more natural. These are particularly great for offices as they can also be easily attached to the frames of ceiling tiles.

9. Window art
The window is a great place to express the festive spirit if you’re low on wall or floor space. The easiest way to dress a window is by using snow spray or window clings, we’ve found some good ones here: https://amzn.to/2fqlsNq
If you’ve got a bit more time or a creative gene, then you could make your own. Why not cut out Santa’s sleigh and reindeers to adorn a large window? Or for smaller windows you could recreate this cute reindeer cut out.
Another low cost bit highly effective window decoration technique is to attach baubles onto ribbon and hang at varying lengths. If you can, try to stagger the depths too for more of an impact. The more garish the baubles are, the better in our opinion! Or why not try and find ones to match your corporate colours?
10. Drawer décor
This might not be the most practical form of decoration but it is an effective one. Why not take your drawers out and wrap them? Simple, cheap and definitely full of cheer.
