With Thanksgiving and Black Friday in the background, now is the time Formally Christmas season. Dust off that decorative bin in your basement and turn on your favorite holiday music playlist. It's the time of year to decorate every aspect of your home with a festive touch, from the living room to the bedroom to the kitchen.
Most of us decorate our living rooms, but the kitchen doesn't always get as much love, even though it's truly the heart of the home during the holidays. That's why I was excited to find this DIY decorating idea that's trending online. It's customizable, you can easily scale it up or down to your liking, and it'll probably cost you less than $15. And this cheap Christmas decoration idea is probably my favorite of all the ideas.

In this Instagram reel, @alondra.leneisha wraps her kitchen cabinets in holiday ribbon, just like she wraps presents. Stretch one horizontally and one vertically, both creating a cross shape. At the crossroads she sticks out her holiday ribbon and calls it a day. The final result? Her kitchen cabinets look fun and festive, like a Christmas present, with counters left open and free of holiday decorations cluttered. Important when hosting!
Best of all, you can recreate this trend for as low as $11. Is it that easy?
