Christmas Tree Ribbon Ornament
This year my Christmas is going to be spent in a much smaller home and I must say so much easier to decorate. That being said my Christmas tree is also small. I decided to make some cute Christmas tree ornaments made from ribbon and twigs.
I did a Youtube video so you can see how it’s done.
I love adding family memories to a Christmas Tree
I placed the small tree in an old Canada Dry wooden crate that I found at an antique shop! Added some pine cones to hide the container which is placed in. Overall it fits perfect in the corner of my living space! I added some ribbon placed in strategic spots to add some color. The wooden star at the top of the tree was made by my son when he was in 6th grade. He is now 28. (I love using items made by my kids.)

Kim
Such a lovely tree! And the Canada Dry box is so perfect with it! LOVE!
Linda
Yeah that crate cracks me up, its fun how we reuse stuff and create something different.
What a darling tree! I especially love that it is tucked inside a wooden crate! Our little granddaughter stayed with us after Thanksgiving lunch and decorated our tree. I’m pretty sure every last ornament we have hang on about three branches. My favorite look! Every time I walk by I cherish the memory of handing her the ornaments. Merry Christmas! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Marci, glad you are like me and cherish moments our loved ones touch! This has made me think about decorating my next home with more of my memories! The last one I had put many things in storage, but I think that was more for staging, but since this is my last home, Anything goes.
Maria
Your tree is charming Maria. I am all about the ornaments that were made by my children or family members or friends…it’s those traditions that are so important at Christmas.
Enjoy your holiday in your little cottage!
Hugs, Lynn
I was so excited to see your Christmas tree decorating. I KNEW it would be lovely and inspiring. I love the ribbon weaving in and out of the branches. Thanks for sharing.
Meegan, so nice of you! Its was a challenge trying to figure how to decorate this place for holidays. but it turned out ok. Maria
I love the little fabric Christmas tree ornaments on your tree….and that crate is so cute!
Thanks Ricki, I was thrilled that I could use some of my vintage fines in my storage.

Beautiful!!! I love family decorations and only have one little photo of my children when they were young on our tree this year… a little silver pin I inserted a photo of them taken at Sears with their Christmas My Twinn dolls from long ago now. <3 Hopefully next year I'll have a family tree again when our goods come out of storage. Happy Christmas to you and your family!!! Sharing on G+ and pinned for you.

Adorable! I have often thought of using ribbon to decorate our tree, but have yet to do it. It looks perfect on your little tree. I too love the box you have it in, especially since Canada Dry is my favourite gingerale!!
Such a cute tree, I love all the red. And that box, love it! I’m so bummed I couldn’t make the hop with you guys. Next year for sure.
Toni

Maria this is so pretty. Love that little crate you have added on the bottom. The colors bring back memories of years gone by, very rustic vintage in a nostalgic kind of way.
Mary,
Yeah, this year I have been using up all my vintage stuff! Normally I had many of it stored away. Most of my decor in the last home was contemp with some rustic stuff. Lets see next time, I always changing to spice things up.
