O Christmas Tree

In keeping with my natural woodsy Christmas theme this year my tree has the same log cabiny snowy vibe happening.

 

A room filled with furniture and a Christmas tree

 

I used a lot of burlap ribbon and natural elements like pine cones.

This Happy Holidays ribbon I found at Michael’s and just cut it and stuck it in the tree, doesn’t get easier than that.

Tree and Ornament

 

This idea is all over Pinterest but I modge podged some ornaments in book pages. Most people use beautiful old music sheets or vintage books. I used an old paperback detective story I picked up at a junk shop, I don’t necessarily recommend this! The Mr. pointed out there were a few 4 letter words on them that I didn’t notice, oops! Nothing says Merry Christmas like curse word laden ornaments :)

 

I also love all the flocked trees I have been seeing, so I picked up a couple of cheap flocked garlands and wound them thru my tree to give me the same look.

I made this cute garland out of old book pages (curse word free this time!) and yarn.

Remember my DIY wrapping paper? I’ve been busy spray painting more.

I tried to get a couple of night time shots too…

(just noticing as I edit this photo that my favorite 4 year old put her little red and green Christmas chain on the tree, sneaky girl, can you spot it?)

Merry Christmas!

  2. Oh, this is so beautiful Kelly! I went with a natural and flocked looking tree this year too! I love your curse word free paper garland!!! You really have the touch! I am so inspired every time I visit!

  8. Gorgeous tree! And yes, I found your daughter’s garland – mine keeps sneaking some of her homemade beaded ornaments on ours. I’m trying to integrate more burlap into our decorating this year so this is a nice example for me – thanks!

  9. Such a beautiful tree!! Luv the addition of the flocked garland. Soo wanting to use that idea. I too have been admiring the flocked trees….. this is very doable . Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers, Gee
    Come one over and visit at my place :-)

  10. What a gorgeous tree! I totally giggled when I read about your curse word ornaments! Love it! I totally did that once with a tray I mod podged book pages to. I realized after I took pictures of stuff on it, that it had a big old cuss word front and center! LOL! I love all of your beautiful touches to your tree!!

  12. Lovely! Love how you added the flocked garland – I will have to remember that little trick! what a great idea!
    And I still just love your modern looking fireplace with all your other stuff! I was thinking about it the other day and thinking ‘now which blog was that? i sure hope I followed it!’ so glad I did!

  16. I love your tree Kelly! The natural elements are so cute! The curse word ornaments will be the talk of the Christmas party, Im sure! I love how your daughter snuck in her own decorative touch on the tree too. She must get that need to create from her Mamma?
    PS: My kids have moved their favouritte decorations on our tree down to their level and spiderman was in the manger.. ;) Kids are the best.
