If you get a good collection of one color, then it’s easy to mix things up and pair them with a new color the following year. For instance, red and white can transform to red and gold the next year; red and silver the year after that.
If you’re not wild about a color theme, choose something broader: a woodland tree with pinecones and forest creatures; a snowy theme with snowflakes, icicles, and frosted ornaments; a winter-sports theme with skis, snowshoes, and ice skates; a whimsical theme with Santa, snowmen, and candy canes. There are oh-so-many possibilities!
Incorporate decorative picks into your tree. These branches of pinecones, berries and frosted evergreens are not just for vases. Adding them to a tree is an easy way to add lots of texture and variation to your ornaments. They can also be used to create a tree topper if you don’t have one.
