When you think of classic Christmas
decor, you are likely picturing the
rustic simplicity of the Scandinavian
style. To get this handmade look,
use decorations made from natural
materials such as salt dough,
basket weave and felt embroidery in
subdued colors. When decorating in
the Scandinavian style consider the
outdoors and your one stop shop.
Some of the most textural, organic
Christmas tree decorations can be
found right outside your door. When
decorating in this style consider creating
a truly one of a kind item by way of re-
purposing items you already have on
hand - baskets, books, etc. When adding
clusters of
ornaments
to your tree
feature a
few made
from pine
cones
dipped in
white paint.
The paint
adds a nice
contrast while the rough texture of the
pine cones themselves helps bring in an
organic feel. Paper whites in rustic pots
or vintage glass containers add to this
theme as do trees potted in old wine
crates or baskets.
