Ideas to Make Your 2014 Christmas Tree Shine

Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the best parts of the festive season. Every year, you get to create a unique look for your holiday display. If you’re looking for some fresh inspiration for this year’s decorations, here are some of our favourite 2014 Christmas tree decorating ideas.

Traditional Accents

If you enjoy a classic holiday look, there are plenty of ways to incorporate traditional details into your tree. White lights, red and gold baubles and tinsel are all timeless touches that will make your tree look like a festive winter wonderland. If you want to go all out, hang a few shimmering glass ornaments, or add a handmade garland made with bright ribbons.

Rustic Charm

If you’re feeling a bit more bold, try adding a bit of a rustic touch to your holiday decorations. Incorporate natural elements such as pinecones, twigs and dried berries. Incorporate a few homemade ornaments such as felt animals or snowflakes to add a bit of a personalized touch. You can even try stringing popcorn and cranberries for a truly rustic feel! You can even leave your tree without a star at the top and instead opt for a plaid or burlap bow.

Colourful Cheer

For a pop of colour, choose a theme and go wild! If you’re a fan of pink, blue and purple, take a trip to your local craft store and pick up supplies in those colours. Or if you’re feeling festive, pick up red and green ornaments, ribbon and garland. You can also choose a subtle ombre look by starting with white lights and ornaments at the top of the tree, and gradually transitioning to darker shades at the bottom.

DIY Projects

Embrace your creative side this Christmas by making your own decorations. There are countless projects that you can tackle, from simple snowflake cutouts to more complex projects like felt stockings and paper lanterns. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making a wreath from tree trimmings or crafting a homemade garland with bright ribbons. The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination run wild!
