7 Elegant Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas
Cindy VenerioSetting up your tree is just as important as how you put it up. Take into consideration your budget and what kind of tree topper, if there is one, will work well with your decor. Whatever you pick out, there's no doubt that your Christmas tree will be one classy addition to any room! Decorators should consider the space they have to place it and all of their desired Christmas ornaments and decorations.
1. Velvet Goldmine
This is a simple idea that can make a big impact. If you buy a plain tree, simply lay down gold thread ornaments on top of the tree. This leaves the rest of the tree decorated in glittery gold. The gold thread looks great and can be found in stores like Target, Wal-Mart, or Michael's. You can then utilize glue guns to place the gold thread on the tree.
2. Whimsical Wonderland
For this idea, you will need to buy a tree topper. The tree topper can be anything that you feel represents your family. Some people choose their pets, while others choose characters from movies or books they enjoy. The topper can also be a small candelabra topper or even a lamp. All you have to do is add fabric glue to the tree topper, then put it on top of the tree. The fabric glue will dry clear and give your tree a whimsical touch.
3. Peacock Feathers
This is a great idea if you like feathers but don't want a bunch of them to go all over the place. You will need to buy a tree topper and decorate it with feathers; then, you will place it on top of the tree. The thing about this idea is that it's easy to do, and the finished product looks amazing. The feathers are made up of satin material. The tree topper can also be used on a centerpiece if you want something that is elegant and fashionable.
4. Glimmering and Glam
What's great about this idea is that you can add any little trinket on top of the tree. Whatever you like best! Another handy tip is to make it sparkle by putting glitter on the tree topper and sprinkling glitter down onto the tree. You can also put silver ornaments with gems in them if you want a nice shimmering effect. The small gems will sparkle in the light, making the tree look even better.
5. Festive Backdrop
Give the tree a little backdrop to make it stand out more. You can use a piece of red velvet fabric or even simple paper, like white construction paper. If you cut out shapes, you can paste them onto the Christmas tree for the perfect festive backdrop. The shapes can be a square, a rectangle, or even circles or stars if you want more of a traditional backdrop look.
6. Luxe Layers
Layering is a great technique to use when putting up your Christmas tree. You can add your decorations in layers, or you can separate them into different sections of the tree. It's a great way to add an artistic touch to your Christmas tree without it looking cluttered. The great thing about layers is that they can be switched out, depending on what you are doing. The best part about layered decorations is that they can be switched out, depending on what you are doing.
7. Orange Is the New Green
People usually find Christmas trees to be a little bit too traditional, and they don't really like the look of pine trees. They want brighter greens or reds, so what are we to do? There's a place for a red tree. You can use an artificial tree, which is great if you want to save money. But if you want to make it a little more colorful and save money, you can use oranges or other beautiful colors. It's a great addition, but only if done wisely.
