The rest of the tree is a mix of pretties. (Now I remember why It's always on a shelf.) Baby Jesus has also had some other interesting visitors: Little People nativity people, Lego guys, dinosaurs, Daniel Tiger, and horses and tractors from their farm set. It cracks me up how our kids LOVE to play with this scene. Those wise men needed a star or they'd get lost I added one of the star ornaments from the tree. I added an unfinished craft crate to act as a simple stable. In years past I've put our nativity on a shelf and out of kid reach, this year I brought it down beneath the tree. A bit of buffalo snow fluffed into the bucket fills it out. This galvanized metal tree skirt ties the whole thing together. It has twinkle lights inside and isn't an actual tree topper, so I used floral wire to fix it to the tree. I found the tin star tree topper in the holiday and outdoor lighting aisle. I spray painted them white so they wouldn't compete with all the pink balls. I found red, wooden beads and thought they'd add even more great texture. I alternated two different styles ribbon (3 spools for each pattern, 3 yards long). it reminded me of our DIY shibori curtains and pillow in the room. I saw the shibori tye-dye ribbon in store and I was sold, it was the inspiration for this tree. I like adding a mixture of textures to my trees with different garlands. Soccer games (this picture cracks me up), an impromptu coffee/hot chocolate date selfie, my favorite big girl hugging my favorite little girl. To turn them into ornaments, I simply clipped each photo onto the tree with these mini white clothespins. I decided to do the same thing for this tree, printing photos from throughout the year. Our kids would look back at the pictures and we'd talk about the moments captured, the little stories I otherwise would have forgotten. It was my favorite part of the tree, friends and family would come over and linger around the tree. The I had a hard time deciding what to do for this tree, they had so many pretty things in store!įor last year's rainbow pom pom tree, I added a ton of pictures printed from my Instax photo printer. ![]() No plugging and fumbling through the tree or hiding cords. One nifty feature, as I connected each tree level, it lit up through plugs running through the center metal tree pole. The tree itself is a 7.5 foot Jasper Cashmere Christmas tree, it is GORGEOUS in person. I like to simplify and use what I have when I can, so I included ideas you can DIY with items you have on hand. Like last year, I had a really hard time deciding on a theme, they had so many great things in store AND I wanted to make some of the elements. They sent this gorgeous tree to our doorstep and I was asked to decorate the tree of my dreams. This is the second tree I've created as a part of the annual Michaels Makers #DreamTreeChallenge in partnership with Michaels Stores. We'll call it eclectic, awesome, and a little bit crazy, much like our family. There's polaroid-like family pictures turned ornaments, natural wood, metal, tie-dye ribbon, wooden beads, colorful ornament balls. This happy colorful, room needed a happy, colorful tree! I really don't know what I should call it! I was mostly inspired by our recent dining room turned family space makeover. While everyone is raking leaves and dreaming of Thanksgiving dinner, I got a jump on things and created this whimsical, eclectic Christmas tree. (If you’re not up for dealing with the maintenance of live trees, store-bought trees work just fine.)
