A Woodland Christmas Tree

DIY Woodland Animal Ornaments

My first idea for ornaments was to buy a tube of woodland animals from Michaels and spray paint them white and hang them on the tree. I used little screw-in round hooks on their backs, which worked great. They’re my new favourite. I love how they turned out.

Birch Bark Ornaments

I also made some birch bark Christmas ball ornaments. I bought glass balls at Michaels, and removed the tops from them.

Then I used small strips of birch bark, peeled off some birch wood, and curled them with scissors like you would ribbon. I just slipped them into the balls and put the tops back on.

They look so sweet. I really like how they turned out.

Feather Ornaments

Along the same lines, I made a set with feathers as well.

Pinecones

I also wanted to use some pinecones. I made two types of pinecone ornaments. For the first one I used some pine cones left over from making my white pine cone wreath, that had been spray painted white. I just added little round screw-in hooks to the tops.

I also had these fun, large spruce cones. To decorate them I just added a little white paint to the tips to make them look snow covered, since I wanted the tree to be a combination of silver, white, glass and glitter, but also mix in some natural brown.

Acorn Ornaments

Another natural element I added were the acorns made from Easter eggs that I made this fall, see the whole tutorial here. I just added some clear fishing line to the stem to hang them from.

Rustic Decorative Balls

I also added a few different decorative balls. These birch balls where made by hot gluing strips of birch bark to styrofoam balls. I also used some twig balls, and fun moss balls. To add to the moss balls, I wrapped them in a little white, fuzzy yarn. Love how they turned out.

They look great tucked into the tree.

Store Bought Woodland Ornaments

When I decided to do a woodland theme, I started seeing so many cute decorations in stores. A lot of them are more of the red, felt, rustic lodge style that won’t work with my silver, and glitter winter woodland look. But here’s some that I found that really fit my look and that I couldn’t resist.

1. White Owl  2. Book Page Nest  3. Glitter Acorn  4. Silver Mushroom 

Silver, White, and Glass Balls

I mixed all these new ornaments, bought and handmade, in with the white, glass, and silver ones I already had. Like these pretty little birds, and lots of glass balls.

Tree Skirt

And as a tree skirt for our woodland tree, I used beautiful, warm,and fuzzy sheep skin rugs. The creamy one is real, from IKEA, and the white one is faux, a fun find at HomeSense. I love how they connect with the beautiful pillows on the couch.

With a fun woodland winter wonderland tree like this, life really is a party!
