Originally The Christmas tree was decorated with candies, apples, and cakes. Today, balls and garlands have replaced candy and decorations compete in originality and colors to make your tree the king of the festival.
The art of decorating the tree
To pamper your Christmas tree, play on light. The ideal is to start by asking your fairy lights. For greater harmony, have three strings: one top, one bottom and one in the middle of the tree. And do not lay the wreath toward the center of the tree, but the ends of branches.
Do not wrap the tree, but rather spend the chain from one branch to another and from one floor to another, ensuring ever fill down. Do not dicked your tree! Then you can add strings classical and last, balls and other decorative knickknacks.
In terms of colors, do not overload the tree. Never more than three different colors on a fir tree, the result will be more harmonious. If instead you are looking for Harlequin effect, be sure to evenly distribute your different colors to avoid an area is very blue, and another all red. Keep all the same unit used in each color. All your red balls are one or maximum two different models.
A Christmas Frosty!
This year, the trend is the magic and frosted Christmas tree! Dressed in white fir and money to bring young and old in the enchanted world of Christmas.
For Christmas glossy, two options are available for the tree: choosing a Christmas tree base white, or have a real tree. White fir give one side more artificial but also more supernatural and magic.
For decorations, stay in the range of frosted colors: white, silver and transparent style of crystal.
Tales guests to the celebration, and suspensions tap into the magical fantasy: fairies graceful (Truffaut, € 9.95), suspensions of feathers (Paragraph; € 1.50) and even from the small Eskimo cold invade fir (Maisons du Monde; € 5.90). Small crystal chandelier will shinny your conifer (acrylic Truffaut tears; € 11.95).
side lights, the fairy lights are sparkling fir their small white lights (Garland Bachere crystal flakes, 36 €) and a rain of stars dot the fir (Garland bright stars Ikea; € 19.95)
The snow is up for a Christmas icy snowball garland (Jardiland; € 2.95) and cascade snowballs and pearls (Truffaut ; € 6.95) break on the green coat. To complete the whole, some angel hair to sprinkle on silver fir.
Christmas natural
For a homecoming, and a little taste of Christmas in the mountains, choose colors and earth wooden decorations. Here, no white fir or artificial, nothing but natural!
The program features 100% natural decorations and Recycling ': pine cones and other chestnuts collected during your walks will make very nice decorations with a fresh coat of paint.
balls and garlands are other colors in brown and green, but touches of red can come and wake the whole. Wood is the queen of natural tree material: Christmas balls and suspensions wood held together with red ribbons hanging from the branches.
Feel free to bring your children contributions: their designs can hang on the Christmas tree, while you can produce small designs and characters in salt dough with them. Confections are also nice suspensions. Barley sugar and candy will delight your children and a beautiful tree though greedy.
The garden is also a source of decorations: originally, were used to decorate the fruit trees. Apples or clementines can therefore act as balls CHRISTMAS! You can leave your natural or varnished to add glitter, and paint. Sticks of vanilla or cinnamon can also anoint your Christmas tree and a fungus while gold has pushed among the branches (Mushroom clip Truffaut; € 5.95). The flowers are not left out and exposed in small bud vases to hang (Truffaut, € 3.99).
Guests are pampered in the fir: reins and small birds (Jardiland; € 2.90), the mischievous goblins with the white beard (Jardiland, 2.90 €) or malicious hedgehogs (Leclerc Supermarkets, 1, € 10).
And a little advice: candles, very pretty, but the tree is highly flammable, so better not!
En rouge et or, le sapin brille de milles feux
Sur un sapin d’un beau vert profond, le rouge et l’or s’allient à la perfection pour faire briller Noël des feux de la tradition. L’or étincelle et fait vibrer le rouge et le vert, pour un sapin très contrasté, qui fleure bon les Noël de notre enfance.
Amusez-vous avec ce contraste : des boules or sur des guirlandes rouges, ou inversement. Il faut éviter l’effet fouillis. Evitez aussi de trop surcharger en décorations, pour que le vert du sapin ne soit pas étouffé.
Côté or, on mélange le mat et le pailleté, le brillant et le nacré. Usez et abusez de la bombe couleur or qui sublime n’importe quel banal objet, ou de vieilles décorations un peu défraichies. La nature prend des reflets dorés métallisés avec des belles feuilles à suspendre (Alinéa ; 15 €), les papillons virevoltent (Alinéa ; 1,90 €), et les pétales de roses se dorent la pilule au coin des épines (pétales dorées carrefour ; 5 €). Les suspensions affichent la couleur et le mot Noël (Supermarchés Leclerc ; 0,80 €).
Version rouge, placez des jolis nœuds in the branches and small gift packages easy to do: make a cube cardstock, pack of wrapping paper, and identify red-string or the gold curling ribbon. Hang these little packages in the tree, or XXL in his foot to decorate. Mistletoe is festive dresses and garlands (Leclerc Supermarkets; € 0.85). You can also opt for glass dropper (Houses of the world, 1.20 €), with small balls Santas dressed all in red (Leclerc Supermarkets; € 1.45), or hearts in wax (Truffaut, 1 , 90 €)
fir Wears mystery
Since 2008, the Christmas tree outside the box by dressing in black. Tristounet you say perhaps, not very festive? Well think again! Alloyed with silver, this tree is a modern and Baroque performance style more than succeeded.
To effect real trend, put aside the real tree for a beautiful artificial tree Black (Truffaut; € 79.95 / Gifi; € 13.99).
Bet on originality for decorations: suspensions shaped little robot or light bulb (Houses of the world and 2.90 € 4.90 €), ball of wool lined star (Le Grand Comptoir, € 2.50), delicate porcelain birds (Truffaut; € 1.99 ). There are also Christmas balls that can be transparent to taste garnish: sequins, beads, beads or feathers (in craft stores).
Christmas is the celebration of the family and thus to love, and fir is light, with hearts of metal (Ikea; € 4.99) or version identified shiny silver (BHV, 3 €). Not to mention the balls square or triangular for the graphic side!
Plastic is fantastic, then the traditional side with garlands of other more modern style necklace (Ikea; € 1.99). For the bright side, dip the head in the stars with a garland motif (Ikea; € 9.99).
last step, but perhaps most important: putting presents under the tree, and especially enjoy a wonderful Christmas! And remember to leave a plate of cake and a glass of milk under the tree, for dad Noël…
