Each year I do a different theme for my Christmas tree. This year I chose Woodland. The tree has a bird house as the topper, cranberry garland, pine ones intersparsed, leaf ornaments, deer antler ornaments and woodland creature ornaments like birds and bears. I also only use white lights, I think it makes the decorations the star and not the lights. I buy my ornaments after Christmas when they are up to 90% off so it does not cost me a lot of money to do the different themes. Here are some pictures and how to ideas.
I star with a ribbon that goes with the theme. Here the red gives it a pop of color and the green gives it a natural feeling. The birdhouse as the topper gets the theme going.
Next I add the cranberry garland in between the ribbon. This adds the natural feeling as well as bringing in more red.
Next I add some sparkling things that you can get at the craft store like glettered twirls, flowers, sprays, berries, etc.
Next I added some butterflies on a thin wire I found at the craft store.
Then I added some ceramic ornaments in the shape of leaves. I like to use some large items like these to have a repeated Patterson the tree, this prevents it from looking cluttered. You want some repetition to make it cohesive.
Lastly, I add the ornaments that are varied: birds, bird houses, acorns, pinecones, dear antlers, bears bridnesrs and other woodsy items.
Then I step back and make sure everything is evenly spaced and there are no blank spaces. Overall, I am happy with how it came out.
Love it..Thank you for always sharing!!!
