Decorating a Christmas Tree is a fun family tradition, and I am so excited to decorate our Christmas Tree for the first time since we moved into our new home. We moved in last year on December 16th, so we put up a tree last year, but it stood bare due to the move. It definitely helped create the ambiance of Christmas, but this year, I wanted to go all out and create the classic RED, WHITE, and GREEN Christmas tree! Plus, I wanted it to feel slightly farmhouse. Here is the bare tree before!
I am so excited at how our tree turned out! My kids helped me make decisions, and helped me place the ornaments too.
I started with a handful of sprays to add to the tree. It helped create an added element for the eye to land on. I was shocked at the difference it made! I started by adding small red berry sprays and stems of eucalyptus. I cut them apart with wire cutters and stuck them into the tree sporadically. Next, I layered three different types of floral sprays and wired them together. I used a red currant berry bush, a long pine pick, and an artificial cotton stem from the Autumn floral section.
After I wired them together, I added them to the tree strategically.
My absolute favorite part is the DIY ornaments that I hand painted!
I wanted to incorporate the farmhouse feel with black and white, but it was tricky to find something that I LOVED with a capital L. So, as soon as I found the Majic Ornament kits by the styrofoam balls, my mind went CRAZY with ideas! Look how easy they were to use:
The tree turned out even better than I imagined, and I love that everything that I used for this tree ALL came from JOANN and cost less than $250.
What do you think!?! I’m in love!
