DIY Christmas trees are all the rage right now, and there’s a good reason for that! They’re cheap, easy to make and can be styled so many different ways.
We’re going to show you how to style your flocked artificial Christmas tree on a budget by using items from around your house. Here are some tips:
Use what you have.
If you’re short on cash, don’t buy new decorations! Grab a few things from around the house and use them as decor. You could also add some of your favorite items from last year or previous years if they still work with the current theme or color scheme.
Get crafty with it.
There are tons of DIY tutorials out there for making homemade decorations and ornaments for your Christmas tree. You could even ask friends and family members if they have any extra decorations they don’t want anymore.
Don’t be afraid to mix things up.
If you have a more traditional looking artificial tree, go ahead and put some modern touches on it like neon lights or gold accents! Or vice versa if you want something more modern but still want the traditional look of an artificial tree.
Use Natural Materials.
Don’t feel like you have to fill your house with plastic decorations when you have an artificial tree. Instead, try decorating with natural materials like pinecones and berries that will complement the artificial tree.
Add Some Color.
You can add color by stringing up some colored lights or wrapping ornaments in bright paper or ribbon. You can also use items like garlands made from colorful paper or yarn to add color and texture to your decorating scheme.
Display ornaments in a basket
Ornaments are another way to add color and texture to your flocked artificial Christmas tree without breaking the bank! You can display them in a basket or even hang them from branches with ribbon or string! This also adds visual interest when looking at the ornament itself.
Use different colored lights
If you have multiple color lights on your tree, try using different combinations of colors! This will give your tree an interesting look and make it more festive.
Add some greenery
Greenery adds depth and dimension to any room, so adding some greenery around the base of your flocked artificial Christmas tree will make it look great! Plus, greenery is super cheap so this is a great tip if you’re trying to save money.
Use less ornaments.
The advantage of an artificial tree is that they don’t shed needles or break easily. You can use fewer ornaments and still have a beautiful tree.
Choose a white or ivory tree.
A flocked tree looks great with all colors, but it’s especially stunning against white or ivory backgrounds. If you have other color schemes in your home, think about choosing white as the base color for your Christmas decorations so that everything works together well.
Use dark colors sparingly.
Dark colors will appear even darker when placed against white or ivory trees than they would on their own backgrounds, so use them sparingly unless they are large enough to fill up empty spaces without being too overpowering.
