Easter serves as a time of celebration at the end of Lent, and regardless of how tightly you may be holding your purse strings, you can still find decorating for Easter exciting and creative without making a large dent in your budget.

By using your fertile imagination, you will be able to beautifully decorate anything from your living room to your kids' Easter gifts and baskets; all on a shoestring. Let your ingenuity take the reins this Easter so you can make this springtime holiday truly special and festive while staying frugal.

Below are just a few ways to keep you on track to an affordably beautiful Easter:

• Take a look around the house for items from Easters past: check the attic, the basement, the storage closets, and the garage. You may even want to take a peek into that dreaded "junk drawer" to see what treasures lie within. This sweep of the house will help you to defray any potential costs from having to trek to the store for crafts. See if you can restore, refresh, or update those items already at your disposal.

• Visit your local thrift or secondhand stores: Heading out to the thrift store gives you an opportunity to make someone's decorations from last year brand new to you and yours. Keep in mind what you want to create this Easter when you make your thrift store pilgrimage. You may stumble on someone's pastel pails or previously and gently used Easter baskets that you can spruce up with ribbons and grass. No one will be the wiser once you put your fine touch upon gently used items.

• Make a friendly trade: Talk to your friends and neighbors about what they have on hand and see about making a trade, making it possible for everyone to make fun updates for this year's Easter decorations. Maybe you can even work with a group and plan for this type of exchange so each year you can all have a fresh mix of new Easter supplies while spending very little. You can also meet other local Easter decorators online who want to live frugally while still decorating for Easter. Trade lightly used tablecloths, Easter baskets, colorful tissue paper, ceiling decorations, egg scatters, wreaths, and many other Easter treasures.

• Find online outlets: The internet is a great place to find a resource of inexpensive but great looking decorations for every holiday. You can shop from your own home, have the items shipped directly to you and have the best selection of items to choose from.

Easter decorating and Easter gift ideas can be elegant, simple, colorful or wild! And it doesn't have to cost a lot to make this holiday super special and memorable. With these money saving ideas at your side, you will be able to fill your home with a combination of free and reasonably priced Easter decorations.
