Christmas Tree Decorating IdeasRustic Leaves- Gather these items from your yard or from a woodland walk. Here we've used a stem of oak leaves, dried fern fronds, wheat, and a knot of raffia.Silk Flowers - Buy silk flower stems. White flowers add a snowy touch to a tree while red flowers add lots of pretty color. If the stems are large they can be cut up with wire cutters into smaller sprigs. To each silk flower sprig add sparkle with glittered twigs, tiny glass ornaments on wires, or a floral pick of silver or gold berries. Secure with a few twists of wire and decorate with a bow that matches the flowers. Bird Nests - Here we've used a base of sturdy twigs and a sprig or two of preserved cedar. On top we've hot glued moss and a tiny bird. Finally, some pepperberries were glued on for a bit of added color and texture. Keep these from year to year, stored carefully in a box between layers of tissue. Set bird nests on open branches in any "holes" in your tree. Glittering Twigs - Purchase painted and glittered twigs from a craft or floral supply store. Cut them up into sections 8 to 12" long. Top each twig with a small branch of sparkling dried flowers and a small branch of silver silk leaves. Secure with floral wire and/or tie with a shiny metallic ribbon. Glass Ornaments - Craft and floral stores will have a good selection of holiday ornaments that come attached to floral wires. Gather an odd number of these balls into groupings. Surround with some artificial leaves, sparkling twigs, or a sprig of shiny berries. Wire all together and add a ribbon for more color and to hide the wires. Twig Wreaths - Craft stores offer twig wreaths and twig bird nests in lots of tiny sizes. Pick up a couple of dozen in your favorites sizes. Use a glue gun to attach preserved cedar, wheat, leaves, berries, artificial birds, and ribbons. Hang on the tree or lay on open branches for a rustic, natural look. Flags - Show your patriotism by using small flags or flag themed ribbon to make nosegays. Decorate each with shiny red, white, and blue-wired garland or glass balls. Frugal Christmas Decorating IdeasUse colorful ribbons to make small bows and attach to your tree with wire.Save any small jewelry size boxes and gift-wrap them. Add bows and add to tree with wire. Plush toys or beanie babies make great tree decorations. If you're a beanie baby collector show off your collection by decorating your Christmas tree in beanie baby them. Decorate your Christmas tree in a candy theme. Use lots of candy canes, small clear bags of jellybeans or other colorful candies tied up with ribbons. Snowflake tree - cut out paper snowflakes to hang on your tree. Add glitter or spray paint for a more formal look. Try drying apple and orange slices and stringing them together for a country style garland or wreath. Collect pinecones and walnuts spray paint them gold and glue them in bunches for your tree or centerpiece. |
