No matter whether you’re still rushing that last piece of assignment, or prepping for an exam, or just waiting to the time you get to go home, it won’t hurt to make that dorm or room just that bit more cheerful.

Thing is, space can be tight and money even tighter – we get that. So, with that in mind, we scoured Pinterest (where else??) for these cheap but awesome Christmas hacks for you to take inspiration from. Here are some of our favourites:

You can get mini trees like these on Amazon, starting from as little as US$1.40. Or go avant-garde and make one using ribbons or even tophats as your base.

4. Window stickers
