My Top Music Themed Christmas Tree Decorations

Music Design Glass Ball With Glitter and Pearl Finish Ornament

Classical music is the joy of many people's lives, and it is always fun to inject some of it into the holiday spirit. There are a lot of music and instrument themed Christmas tree decorations out there for anyone looking to set up a tuneful tree, and this post is going to be looking at some of my personal favorites. My top five, in fact. Read on, and enjoy. 

Music Harp Miniature
Musical Instrument
Ornament

First of all, lets celebrate the instruments that make up the music. Up above is a sweet set of glass ball bauble decorations  with a beautiful illustration of a different instrument on a musical score backdrop. Meanwhile on the right, there is a whole collection of ornaments shaped like little versions of each instrument you'd find in an orchestra, and they are just lovely. My personal favorite is the harp, mainly because the harp is my favorite instrument, but there are loads of these cute musical instrument replicas to choose from, including a trumpet, a tuba, a trombone, a saxophone, a french horn, a flute, a grand piano, and a clarinet. Shop about and you are sure to find a handful of these gorgeous ornaments that are just perfect for your tree and tastes. 

Shiny Silver Treble Clef
Music Note Jingle Bell
Christmas Ornament

Next up there's the musical notes. There's something inherently artistic about their shapes with the dashes and the loops. I think that beauty is really well captured in some cute musical note themed Christmas tree ornaments. I recommend getting lots of these sweet silver musical notes to decorate your tree with, because they really look wonderful. You could even spell out your own song with them!

As well as the treble clef on the left, you can also pick up an eight and a sixteenth. You can get matching golden ones here too if you like, to inject a bit of variety. 

So there you have it, my top favorite musical Christmas tree decorations. I hope you liked them as much as I do.

Decorating a Gothic Christmas Tree

Pewter Dragon Gothic Fantasy Christmas Ornament and Holiday Decoration

Looking to create a beautiful Gothic Christmas tree to be the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations? Well look no further, because this post is going to be looking at some of my favorite Gothic tree decorations. First things first, you'll nee a tree. A good choice for a Gothic Christmas tree is an artificial black or white tree with contrasting color tinsel - black for a white tree and white or silver for a black tree. 

Love Eternal Christmas Ornament

Next up you'll want lots of kooky and gorgeous Gothic ornaments to hang up, and there are a lot to choose from. I particularly like the pewter dragon featured above, it looks incredibly beautiful and are very unique looking. There's also a few antique dragon ornaments combined with traditional holiday symbols like this dragon wrapped around a candy cane and this dragon Christmas bell ornament which you can combine with the regular dragons for a great look. 

In addition to this there are some great, more simplistic flat Christmas tree ornaments with Gothic phrases and designs that would look cute on any tree. The heart shaped one on the right is one of my favorites, but I also like this stripey skull tree ornament. Zazzle has a lot of this type of tree decorations, so shop around for the ones you like best and you are sure to find some awesome pieces. 

Victorian Ball Ornament

You can't have a tree without baubles, and up above I've found one of my favorite choices for a Gothic bauble. I love how elaborate the pattern and the design is, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Plain black baubles, be they shiny or frosted, are also a simple and easy choice to fill up the tree's branches.

Hoarfrost Purple Dragon Ornament

Finally, dragons are awesome, in my humble opinion anyway. I'll probably do a whole post devoted to dragon decorations at some point, but for now I just want to draw every goth girl's attention to some of the incredibly pretty Gothic dragonornaments out there looking for a good home.

Zanzibar, The Gothic
Dragon Ornament

For example there is the beautiful one on the left (which is part of a larger set of dragon ornaments in different colors), and also the one on the right, which features and shinier, more archaic style. I love them to bits, and I think everyone should have at least one set on their tree! 

So that's it for my guide to my favorite Gothic Christmas tree decorations and putting together a memorable goth Christmas tree. I hope you have a lot of fun decorating your tree, and a very merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate!) in general.

Decorating a Santa Themed Christmas Tree

The picture above has given me some inspiration for a themed Christmas tree - what if you could decorate your tree to look just like Father Christmas? Wouldn't that be a treat? This post is going to look at how to go about it. First up, you need the tree itself. To avoid having to wrap up a green tree in fabric like the above picture does, you could pick up an artificial red tree to use instead. Alternatively, you could use a tonne of red tinsel.

Santa Claus Head Craftsmen
Christmas Tree Topper

After that, you'll need Santa's head to sit atop his body- I mean the tree. I've included a cute Santa topper on the right that you can use - it even comes with a snowman topper that you can use if you ever want to try out a snowman themed tree - I have a post on making one of those too! An alternative is to have one of these cute Santa hat toppers as the crown of your tree. 

Next up you'll need some white or silver tinsel to wrap around the bottom of the tree as the hem of Santa's suit. A cute and fluffy idea is to use a white feather boa instead, such as this six foot long white boa which is sure to fit around the base of most trees. Finally, finish off the tree with a belt around the middle to keep the suit together! This is a hard one since they don't exactly make tree sized belts, but if you tie or stitch some of your old belts together and have the one with the biggest buckle at the front, that should work great. If you want to be extra cute, why not hang a pair of shoes from the underside of the tree?

How to Make a Snowman Christmas Tree

Here's a cute and funky but also classic look for a Christmas tree: the jolly snowman. Now when I say snowman themed Christmas tree, I don't mean a boring old tree covered in themed ornaments. Instead, we're going to make a snowman out of a tree, like the one above! 

'Twas the Night Glittered Snowman
Head Red Hat Christmas Tree Topper

First up, you'll need an artificial white tree: here's a popular and reliable one. Once you have that, you need the snowman's head to go on the top as a tree topper. You've got two options here: you can either buy yours pre-made, and if you want to do that check out the cute head on the right, or you can make one from scratch. If you make one, be sure to check out this great blog post on how to make an amazing snowman head.  So that the topper blends in with the tree, next you want a cute red scarf to wrap around it's 'neck'. Here's a great one to check out.

Second, you'll need a set of black baubles to act as the snowman's 'buttons', which you will hang in a vertical line down the front of the tree as shown in the picture above.

Next up, either buy or make some branches to act as the snowman's arms. You can either add silver paint to branches you find outside if you live in an area with lots of nice trees, or you can pick up some pre-painted branches online and cut them to whatever size you like.

And there you have it, the basics for a snowman themed tree. If you want to go further, you can add lights, maybe a bit of silver tinsel or some cute snowflake ornaments, but remember not to go overboard. The beauty of this tree theme lies in its simplicity - if you overload it with too much stuff, it may look tacky and overdone. Otherwise, have fun with your very own snowman tree, and Merry Christmas!

Disney's Jack Skellington Ball Ornament

Nightmare Before Christmas Baubles

First up, every Halloween Town home will need a themed Christmas tree to provide the centerpiece for the look. There's lots of amazing character baubles you can use to decorate your tree, from the sweet seven pieced set above to the cartoony faces of Jack Skellington on the right. these Baubles are all quite dark in their color scheme, so contrast with a lighter colored tree and tinsel - maybe even a brightly colored artificial tree in deep red or another Gothic color. A black tree can also work very well if you use decorations with the bolder, brighter colors. That way your decorations will stand out a mile away!

Nightmare Before Christmas Ornaments
