Creative Ways to Trim Your Tree
This Christmas tree shines in shades of gold, white, and blue.

The star of this avian-themed tree? An egg-filled nest perched at the top.
Make eye-catching ornaments by creating custom tags with written messages or photos.
A striking gold-and-teal color scheme sets off this seven-foot Douglas fir. Gold ribbon bedecks the branches for classic appeal.
Create a pinecone tree on a cone-shaped foam base. Anchor the base in a container with a heavy object, then wire the cones onto 2" wooden floral picks. Insert picks downward into the foam, starting at the bottom with the largest cones and working to the top with the smaller ones. Conceal the foam by tucking sheet moss among the pinecones.
White dove ornaments combine with amaryllis, carnations, and orchids on this lovely tree.

Strung popcorn and cranberries are used as garlands on this au naturel evergreen — and, yes, those were strung by hand. Not to worry, however — they don't have to be. This kind of garland can be purchased at most holiday decor stores. The rest of the decorating is simple: apples, oranges, and pears straight from the market! Oranges should be sliced, then dried. The apples and pears can be tied to branches with red ribbon.
This tree is trimmed with vintage letters found from old signs, printers' type, and alphabet teaching aids.
