I might suffer from a slight case of OCD. Maybe. Probably. And every year when it is time to decorate the tree my OCD comes out in full force. My kids always want to help decorate and so I appease them until they are out of the room and then hurry and move the ornament to its correct location. The joys of being crazy!
I have been collecting ornaments and pieces for my rustic tree for a couple years now. Adding things here and there, usually after Christmas when they are super cheap.
I struggled for a little this year when it came to the wrapping paper. I wanted it to flow. While grocery shopping at the commissary one day, I came across large rolls of shipping paper for only $0.77! I love how it looks old school and blends in so well. I also love that I could just write on the paper without using a label. Fun and cheap!
Here is a close up of a couple of my ornaments. I found the banner a few years ago at Tai Pan. I had seen something similar in the Pottery Barn catalog, but the price was much, much, much higher. The strand of berries and the felt snowflakes are from Target's after Christmas clearance. The red stars are from Cracker Barrel of all places. The yellow stars and the suede bells are from the Christmas Store at Gardner Village. They are always doing sales. And the large, wooden snowflakes are from Roberts after Christmas clearance.
There are truly so many options with decorating your tree and really inexpensive ways to do it. You could also mix it up every year with a new theme.
