It’s the season of wonder, the season of magic. Christmas and child like wonder. Who isn’t inspired or more hopeful when its this time of year? I dont know about you but.I start to feel super excited about everything. The parties, the family time, shopping and even the messes that come from the them.
This year as I am currently renting out a room from a family friend, I dont really have a place to decorate for Christmas. But with family in town, spherically Mom and Dad, I was able to chip in and DIY some Christmas decorating. For years we have been using the same family ornaments to decorate the family tree. I like the tradition of unboxing and looking at the ones we have collected over the years. But, ya know, some new and shiny wouldn’t hurt.
So my sis and I decided that we would do a themed tree this year. We chose to go with a burlap and red theme and we added in some glitter and gold. We made our bows and we even got dad in to arts and craft our new glitter bulb ornaments, like below. We all got to spend time together crafting and even my nephew helped with the cutting and filling our custom ornaments with tinsel.
I am still working on the finishing touches for the overall look and wall decoration. It took a bit of work but we also made these paper stars too hang behind the tree. Missing some more bows and some green garland at the top but this weekend we will finish the last touches. I found the stars on where else but Pinterest. The link for that is below
This is what we have so far. Our little Elf helped us add the star topper. I hope you like it and it gives you ideas for your home. Take a little time to enjoy decorating for the last little bit of the year.
