Affordable Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas

Christmas tree decorating ideas to make your tree look like it was decorated by a designer. These tips are affordable and anyone can do them.

Decking the halls is one of my favorite things to do. I LOVE decorating Christmas trees. I have learned a lot in my 20-plus years of decorating. Beautiful Christmas trees have a few things in common. Ribbon and statement ornaments. This post will focus on both and how to achieve the best bang for your buck.

Ribbon

WIRED RIBBON is key. I cannot emphasize this enough. Don’t spend money on beautiful ribbon if it’s not wired for your tree. Craft stores carry affordable ribbon and not just in the Christmas section. I found this beautiful linen ribbon and it was not in the Christmas section.

Wide ribbon adds so much texture. If you are looking to add some color and fun add a few strands of wired ribbon to make a bigger impact. This is also a more affordable option than a wider ribbon.

3 different strands of wired ribbon

Gather strands of ribbon and attach them to the tree with a wired tree branch. If there is not a branch where the ribbon should go use a pipe cleaner. After attaching the ribbon, balloon ribbon out and attach it again.

Once the ribbon has been loosely attached pull out or balloon and fluff the ribbon strands. You don’t have to go all the way around the tree if it’s in a corner. Use your imagination with the ribbon. It can go up and down or around the tree.

Statement ornaments

Big statement ornaments add up $$$ quickly. Another option is to group ornaments together with a pipe cleaner. Here I used 3 different colors but using the same color will also add more impact.

These ornaments grouped together add more impact than 6 single ornaments scattered on the tree. Snag the biggest ornaments your budget allows. They can never be too big!

Hope these easy tips help you decorate your tree. Here are a few past themes that might give you some inspiration.

Expectations vs Reality I had such high hopes th Expectations vs Reality 

I had such high hopes that the kiddos would actually put their shoes away. Without the constant nagging and reminding. Nope. I still have to nag or put them away myself.  At least there’s a place for them now. 

I need to remind myself to lower my expectations. I am sure it would make me a happier mom.

Hope you had a great Easter with your peeps. Shari Hope you had a great Easter with your peeps. Sharing the other wall with our diy ledges. They are not hard to make and can go directly into the studs. They are easy to change up and decorate. I have school pics on one set and a travel section on the other. Take all the pics and display them. Time goes even faster as your kids get older. 

My little helped me recorded these videos and she made it point to share the mustache that my daughter still has up from Christmas when Elfie pranked them.🥸

Have a great week friends!!

I replaced the art roll paper on our office table. I have it on a tension rod underneath. If you have a coffee table or craft table, I totally recommend you add some paper!! It’s so easy to change and then your kiddos can draw whenever they want. Or you can draw and they can color in 😉

I stained all 6 ledges in 15 mins 🤯
