My Christmas tree theme is silver and gold ornaments, silver and gold ribbon, and silver, gold, and glass garland. I wanted my tree to sparkle. I’ve never done a Christmas tree theme like this before and so excited to show you the results. The main thing is I have had a lot fun! I took my time decorating the tree doing a little each day, changing an ornament here and there.
My main purpose was to make the tree shimmer by using silver and gold ball ornaments, glass ball ornaments, silver and gold glittered ribbon, and gold and silver garland.
I did the ribbons by weaving inside up and down like a wave. Started at the top working down, pulling the ribbon outwards at the bottom of the tree. To get a lot of reflection I placed some large gold ball ornaments on the inside of the tree to reflect the lights.
I took a lot of close up photos to show you the Christmas tree theme of silver and
gold ribbons and ornaments.
Glass garland and
gold garland.
The silver and gold ornaments are new and were pretty inexpensive. I didn’t use any of my regular ornaments, except I dug out our Danbury Mint Gold Christmas Ornament Collection.
I watched some how-to make a tree topper videos to make the bow. This gold ribbon tree topper was not as hard to make as I thought it would be and was perfect for my Christmas tree theme of silver and gold ribbons and ornaments.
I am not done with the room yet, but managed to get my Christmas sleigh on a table
and found some gold ornaments to add to the edges of the sleigh.
We are still working on the windows and hung this gold horn up with some fishing line.
First I put down a white Christmas tree skirt that Anya claimed.
Then I covered it with this Christmas snow skirt that I made by laying down a snow blanket and covering it with buffalo snow.

Hi and so happy to hear from you and your dolls. Glad you liked the silver and gold Christmas tree. Merry Christmas to you Debra.

Thanks Anj! Mixed metals! I did not think of it as mixed metals so thank you for the new terminology. I love the new Twinkle photo feature that Google came out with just in time for Christmas.
Very, very nice Sue! You have talent woman! Very cute that Anya is enjoying the “snow” 🙂
Thank you my friend. We are enjoying our tree this year and now I wonder what I will do next year.
Your tree is BEAUTIFUL! I got a kick out of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I will have to show it to my family tonight.
My sister does a pretty tree like yours. I will have to ask her if she knows about glass garland because it makes for a really pretty tree.
Thanks Carol, and I love Jimmy Fallon and want to get the guts up to do a fun YouTube video like this next year for Christmas.
Wow! I love your tree! It is sparkles and glittery. You did a fantastic job on this Sue. I think Anya thinks so also. Hugs Echo 🙂
Hi Echo, Anya is having fun burying herself in the snow cloud Christmas skirt. Thank you for such a nice comment.
