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...
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...............
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 & 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.
