Decorate Your Christmas Tree For Every Season

My husband and I stopped by an unusual shop last week on our venture to the next county thrift shops. This sweet lady had a Christmas tree upside down in one corner of her store and had decorations on it. She themes it. This theme was Spring with birds, butterflies, different sprays of flowers, and just a beautiful assortment of things. We talked to her for quite a while and found out she redecorates the tree every few months to keep the idea fresh. Her next venture was still being hatched; she said she had several ideas one of which was patriotic.

The tree bottom was against the ceiling and I have no idea how she kept it in position, but it was a really intriguing way to display seasonal fun things. I thought I would pass it along as I was very interested in it and I hope this sparks some creativity for you as well.

I have a friend who has a nice big living room, with a big tree, and it's been going 24/7/365 for some years now, and her tree is always decorated for whatever holidays and seasons. I've before have done this too, only with a mini tree, more for like a table decoration, but, mostly for Christmas and Easter decorations, for me anyways. A wreath would also be great for year round for decorating for all the holidays too.

Tip: All Season Tree

I am going to use a small Christmas tree to leave up year round to decorate according to the seasons, or holiday: New Years, Valentines Day, Easter, 4th of July, kids birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. And of course Christmas! the possibilities are endless.

RE: All Season Tree

You have inspired me! I heard of a woman who tried this and didn't follow through because she "couldn't afford" seasonal decorations. I just wanted to say that even paper cutouts for each season would look beautiful on such a tree, and anyone can make up some of those.

Here are some ideas I have, would you all please post more? Maybe we can all have one of these seasonal trees!

January: You can buy little plastic crystals in the shape of droplets or snowflakes. Crocheted snowflakes, string or twig snowflakes, of course paper snowflakes, little snowmen made from pom-poms, ivy and white plastic berries.

February: Hearts, of course! Crocheted, paper, wooden, glitter.

March: ??? Lions and lambs? "March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb" How could you make little crocuses?

April: Showers? Flowers? Little Easter eggs? Bunnies.

May: Flowers!

June: ?? Birds, butterflies, sea shells

July: Little flags

August: Sunflowers

September: Pumpkins. You can get little picks with nuts, colored leaves, pumpkins. Back to school, little books and pencils?

October: Halloween, little ghosts, jack-o-lanterns

November: Thanksgiving. Hmmmm. Ideas?

December: The easy one! We're used to decorating trees for this season. By Jayne

RE: All Season Tree

I love the ideas! How about little pictures of kids or grandkids on their birthdays, or even me on mine! Just about anything can be used! The salt dough ornaments can be made for any occasion ,painted and hung too.(09/13/2004)
