Themed Christmas Trees
Posted by memoriesfromtheattic on December 7, 2008
Does your Christmas tree have a theme? My MIL has several trees in her house and each one has a theme, there is the Raggedy Ann and Andy tree, M&M tree, etc. We have always just had a downhome decorated tree, other than that ugly white fiber optic tree I tried to make look like a snowman.
Here are some fun themes:
Train, car, tractors
Snow, Angel, Santas
Rustic, cabins
food, candy
sparkle, sports
Beach
Now how about this one?
FAMILY PHOTOS
Find miniature picture frames and shrink family photos on a copier. Or buy flat rounds of wood and decoupage photos onto the front and back. Tie with ribbons and hang around the tree. Buy some round balls that are clear and can be opened. Roll up a picture, put the top back on, and the photo will show through. Fill in with plain round balls so you don’t distract from the main focus. Unroll some 35mm film for a garland.
Have fun!

Neast idea. I don’t think I’ll go all out and make a photo-themed tree. But it would be fun to make an ornament each year featuring the kids’ pics for that year! I think I’ll do that! Thanks!
