4. DIY
If you see something in a store that you love, but can’t afford to spend the money on it, make it yourself! I had seen some nursery dreamcatcher mobiles that I wanted, but I figured I could make it for cheaper than buying it brand new. Not only was it less expensive, but I was able to make it exactly how I wanted. You can also have someone help you make crib sheets, crib bumpers, curtains and more! Those items can all be very expensive, so making it yourself is most often a less expensive option.
5. Hand Me Downs
Many people frown upon hand me down furniture from people, but just because it’s a hand me down doesn’t mean it doesn’t have potential. If you don’t love the piece of furniture, try painting it a different, fun color, or putting unique drawer pulls on it to make it look more unique. You can easily make a piece of furniture look updated and modern by changing a few things about it, so ask your friends and family if there is anything that they don’t want anymore that you could use for your nursery.

6. Coupons
Take advantage of all the coupons you can when you are decorating a nursery. Sign up for coupon mailing lists for all baby stores and furniture stores so you not only know when the sales are, but you also can use coupons on anything you want to buy as well. Using them could end up saving you a lot of money on big ticket items like cribs and rocking chairs.
