Festive Fall “Thanksgiving is a time for family celebrations. Decorating the fall themed tree enhances the anticipation of loved ones gathering for that special meal,” said Keith. Method: - Weave grapevine throughout the branches and interior of the tree. - Create rugged bows using raffia and tie on the ends of branches. - Use fine gauge wire to attach a variety of mini gourds and pumpkins to the branches. - Add fall leaves, real or faux, throughout the tree and scatter around the base as well. - Place sprigs of fall-colored berries on top of the tree to finish it off. - Go a step farther by spray painting sculpting pumpkins and gourds gold and arrange around the base of the tree.
Christmas “As the most classic of winter and Christmas icons, a Christmas tree should be a masterpiece of holiday cheer and charm,” says Keith. “By making one last transformation to your holiday tree, you’ll have an elegant and festive pièce de résistance in no time.” Method: - Add additional white lights to the tree if you like for added sparkle at night. -
Select a flattering combination of three colors of wired ribbon that is complimentary to your home. We recommend gold, turquoise and brown. Use these to create a large bow for the top of the tree, being sure to leave long pieces to fall down the sides of the tree.
- Weave wide metsh ribbon throughout the tree, making sure to keep the rows a consistent width apart. - Add a selection of holiday ornaments that follow the chosen color scheme. - Affix the bow to the top of the tree using thin gauge wire. Curl strands of hanging ribbon.
