I love the outfit Tinkerbell is wearing too, it's so adorable!

These three ornament and bauble sets go really well together color scheme-wise, so why not collect them all and deck out your tree into a Disney Fairy extravaganza?

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.

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!

Nightmare Before Christmas Themed Christmas Decorations for Your Home and Tree!

Here's a really fun idea for a themed Christmas style for your home - Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. This is especially fun as you can re-use a lot of these ideas for decorating your home for Halloween - it's not cheating, honest! Kids and adults alike love this iconic movie and there's tonnes of decorations you can choose to transform your home into a spooky winter wonderland that all the family will adore.

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!

Next up, you'll want to add some adorable ornaments to match your beautiful baubles. My favorite ornaments are a set including the gorgeous Sally ornament on the left, also containing an amazing Jack Skellington ornament. They have hinges in the limbs which mean they move like like little puppets, which I think is really cute. If you are looking for all the characters in ornament form, here are The Mayor and Oogie Boogie too! There's also a cute seven piece set featuring Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, Shock, Lock, Barrell, and Oogie Boogie available here, if you are looking for some fun variety.

For something a little more unique and original, here are some very pretty and cool black and white striped Jack Skellington hanging bows you can add to the mix.
