As the festive season approaches, the excitement to deck the halls and add a touch of magic to our homes grows stronger. It's the time of year when twinkling lights and charming decorations transform the mundane into the extraordinary. And for those of us who love to indulge in the holiday spirit without breaking the bank, one Kmart shopper has just the inspiration we need.

Cheryl, a savvy shopper and DIY enthusiast has taken to social media to showcase her stunning Christmas display, which is crafted with affordable finds from Kmart. Her creation is not only a testament to her creativity but also to the idea that you don't need to spend a fortune to make your home look like a winter wonderland.


Starting with a simple $4 item, Cheryl has built a captivating Christmas village that has left fellow customers in awe. The items she used range from $4 to $10 and include a lush green garland, a quaint battery-operated ceramic village, and a cozy white faux fur tree skirt.

In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Cheryl shared her belief that her delightful setup is something anyone can replicate. 'I wanted something that was easy to put together,' she explained. 'As soon as I saw Kmart's new Christmas range, I knew I had to create a little Christmas village. It's a project I've always wanted to tackle but never found the time for.'


Cheryl's approach is simple yet effective. She suggests pairing the ceramic houses with greenery to create a striking contrast. To mimic a snowy landscape, she recommends cutting a $12 white tree skirt from Kmart, an easy DIY task that adds a touch of realism to the scene.

For those eager to try their hand at this DIY project, Cheryl has generously shared a video on TikTok, offering a step-by-step guide to encourage others to unleash their inner artist.

To illuminate her miniature houses, Cheryl cleverly used a $4 wire string light from Kmart, threading it through the bottom of each house to achieve a magical glow. The single pack of lights was sufficient for the entire village, resulting in significant savings.


While Cheryl's entire setup, including Kmart and IKEA products, totalled around $300, the core elements are surprisingly affordable. The foundation of her display includes a $10 Green Garland and a $12 faux fur tree skirt, complemented by various charming accessories such as a $5 Battery-Operated Light-up Mini Lantern, a $6 Small Ceramic Tabletop Tree, and a $6 3-Pack Bottlebrush Tree.

Cheryl's dedication to creating a festive atmosphere for her family is evident. 'Both my husband and I work full time, and we used to rush our Christmas shopping just days before,' she said. 'By starting early, I can create beautiful spaces for our son to enjoy and avoid the last-minute stress.'

The response to Cheryl's DIY Christmas village has been overwhelmingly positive, with many social media users expressing their admiration and inspiration. 'That looks magical!' one user exclaimed, while another declared, 'Now I have to do this!'
