Countdown to Christmas Day 3 - Whimsical Woodland Tree Decorating

On Day 3 of our Countdown to Christmas, we invite you to join us in transforming our living room into a magical woodland retreat with a Christmas tree decorating idea that brings the enchantment of nature indoors.


Theme: Whimsical Woodland Wonder


Step 1: The Tree

Begin your woodland adventure with a tree that embodies the spirit of the forest. Opt for a lush, green tree with a mix of needle varieties to create depth and texture. If you prefer an artificial tree, choose one with realistic branches for an authentic feel.


Step 2: Natural Elements

Embrace the charm of the outdoors by incorporating natural elements into your tree decor. Gather pinecones, acorns, and twigs to nestle within the branches. These simple additions bring a touch of the forest floor to your living room.


Step 3: Earthy Color Palette

Choose an earthy color palette inspired by the woods. Shades of deep green, rich brown, and touches of muted gold will evoke the serene beauty of nature. Consider adding burlap or rustic plaid ribbon as a tree garland to tie the colors together.


Step 4: DIY Woodland Creatures

Craft adorable woodland creatures to inhabit your tree. Create felt or paper ornaments shaped like owls, foxes, deer, and other woodland critters. Hang them strategically throughout the tree to add a playful and whimsical touch.


Step 5: String Lights and Warmth

Drape your tree with warm white or soft yellow string lights to evoke the gentle glow of fireflies in the woods. Ensure they are evenly distributed to illuminate the entire tree and create a cozy ambiance.

Step 6: Handmade Ornaments

Invite your family to create handmade ornaments that celebrate the beauty of nature. Craft miniature bird nests, cinnamon stick stars, or even rustic photo frames. These personalized ornaments will add sentimental value to your woodland-themed tree.

Step 7: Woodland-Inspired Tree Topper

Crown your tree with a woodland-inspired tree topper. Consider a rustic star, an elegant owl, or a glittering deer to complete the theme. This eye-catching element will draw the gaze upward, making your tree a true centerpiece.



Step 8: Tree Skirt with a Natural Touch

Complete the look with a tree skirt that continues the woodland theme. A burlap or faux fur skirt adds a cozy, natural touch while tying the entire look together.

Step 9: Scents of the Season

Enhance the woodland experience by adding scents of the season. Hang scented pinecones or diffuse essential oils with cedarwood and fir notes to bring the fragrance of a fresh forest breeze into your home.

Step 10: Unveil and Enjoy

As you step back to admire your Whimsical Woodland Tree, let the magic of the forest fill your home. This enchanting theme creates a cozy and festive atmosphere, making your Christmas tree not only a centerpiece but a portal to a magical winter woodland.


Join us tomorrow for more holiday inspiration as we continue our Countdown to Christmas!
