If you are still on the fence about whether you want to go with a white Christmas tree or you want a white tree but you are not really sure just how to decorate it, here are 3 cool ideas for any type of white Christmas tree.
Turn Your Tree Into A Snowman
With a white tree you can easily transform your whole tree into a life-size snowman in your house.
You can find tree toppers that are in the shape of a snowman head and then all you have to add is some stick branch arms along with a scarf (garland or fabric) wrapped around the upper part of your tree and you have a snowman.
You can also add three black ball ornaments in the middle for 3 coal buttons as well.
Red And White Themed Christmas Tree
The color red is a such a great contrast color for an all white Christmas tree.
Decorate your tree with red bulb ornaments as well as red ribbons and red icicle ornaments. You can keep it simple with no garland or simply drape wrap your Christmas tree with red ribbon.
If you want to keep things a little less strict with the theme you can also look for fun Christmas ornaments that are red and white or even red and silver to add some glitter into the tree as well.
Top the tree off with a red Christmas star tree topper or even a large red bow topper .
Whimsical And Colorful Christmas Tree
Another great way to play up a white Christmas tree is with a whimsical and colorful color scheme.
This involves large colorful ornaments in such colors as pink, purple, turquoise, lime green, and yellow. The more patterns and prints you use, the better as well.
Be sure to include fun ornaments such as ornaments that look like pieces of candy, pink glitter snowflakes, and fun ball ornaments in stripes or polka dots.
This is always a fun theme to try as it’s definitely not one you see all the time but you can find tons of great ornaments and garlands available in these colors that you won’t be short on decorations.
So if you are looking for white tree for your home this year, don’t waste money on cheap ones that may not last, but instead buy one of these white artificial Christmas trees that are quality made and can be used season after season.

The red burlap would be perfect for more of a modern look or even if you doing a red and white themed Christmas tree.
You can even find a red burlap mixed with the natural colored burlap ribbon for a really special touch.
Something that is really quite popular lately is taking the burlap ribbon and mixing it with mesh ribbon or other plaid or colored ribbons to come up with a really unique topper.
Here are a few different toppers that are either mixed with different ribbon or the burlap ribbon has a fun print or even message on it for something a bit different.

As you can see there are some really great burlap tree toppers that can make your tree really unique and special as you won’t find toppers like these in your local store.
There are even the ones that you can get personalized with a letter charm to make the topper so very special for your family’s Christmas tree.
If you are crafty or you want to try to save some money and you have time to spare this holiday, you could of course, try to make your own DIY burlap bow tree topper.
You will need to buy plenty of burlap ribbon before you get started. Depending on the size of your bow you plan on making you will want to buy at least 2 spools as it’s always better to have more than run out of ribbon.
And of course if you have extra ribbon you can always use it wrap around your Christmas tree or make smaller bows for your tree or other Christmas decorations.
You will also need floral wire to hold your bow together. Floral wire works best because it is thin but strong and can blend in with the bow.
One tip that I have for people that may not be so crafty or who don’t have much practice making bows, is to get yourself a Bowdabra Tool . This is a simple tool that allows just about anyone to make professional looking bows in only a few minutes.
You can even use the tool for bows for your Christmas presents and other decorations year round as you will definitely get your money from it (it doesn’t cost much to begin with).

Star toppers definitely aren’t your only option when it comes to a primitive themed tree though.
Another really nice option for a tree topper that fits in very well with a primitive or rustic themed tree is a tin angel.

Although there are all kinds of primitive ornaments that you can choose from, the most popular type would have to be the barn star Christmas ornaments.

You definitely would want to stay away from the more traditional shiny, plastic garlands or anything with bright colors. Instead you could go with something homemade like a cranberry and popcorn garland or something that has that old style feeling to it.
Here are a few prim Christmas tree garland ideas that I have come up with over the years.
Burlap Banner or Ribbon – For something a bit different on your prim or country Christmas tree, try a burlap banner or just plain burlap ribbon wrapped around your tree.
Burlap is often used in primitive style decorating and can be a neat way to add in some more texture into your tree.
There are banners that you can buy that read “Merry Christmas” or you can go with a simple roll of wide jute burlap ribbon for the tree. There is even red or green dyed burlap ribbon that you can use as well.

These strands are great for wrapping around the tree as garland but can also be used on other crafts and used as home decor for other times of the year. You can even place them in a basket or bowl if you decorate in a primitive style all year round.

You can find a few different styles of pip berry garlands. There are ones that simply have the twig garland with white or red berries while there are other ones that have other items on the garland such as stars.

You can’t decorate your tree in a lovely prim style and then have a tree skirt that completely doesn’t match at the theme at all.
When it comes to primitive tree skirts look for something simple and something that looks handmade.
For example, a simple burlap tree skirt would really fit into any prim or rustic style tree.
You could also choose a skirt that has a heirloom quilted pattern in more natural and muted colors like burgundy, tan, and dark blue.

Here are a few more tips and ideas when it comes to decorating your primitive Christmas tree.
Use Patterned Ribbon or Fabric to Cheaply Decorate Your Tree
A simple and inexpensive way to decorate your tree and fill in some space is to just tie some ribbon around the branches of the tree. You can tie them into simple bows or just tie them in a knot and let them hang off the branches.
Look for patterned fabric that represents the prim style like neutral colored plaids as well as gingham prints. If you can’t find a pattern you like or you just have some fabric or ribbon lying around at home you could use a plain color like burgundy as well.
You can even use the same fabric and make a large bow for the topper of the tree.
Cinnamon Salt Dough Ornaments Go Perfect with a Primitive Theme
Even if you have never made salt dough ornaments before you have probably at least seen or heard about them.
They are a really popular homemade Christmas ornament and are simple and inexpensive to make. In fact, they are a great craft that you can make with your kids or grand kids this holiday.
The key to making them look primitive is to make them with cinnamon to give them that darker brown coloring. Plus with the cinnamon they will make your tree spell delicious as well.
You could make anything from snowmen to stars or even stockings for the tree. Tie a gingham or plaid ribbon at the top of the ornament to hang them on the tree.
For a good cinnamon salt dough Christmas ornament recipe check out Where Your Treasure Is blog .
Don’t Forget To Use Items From Nature to Decorate Your Tree
If you are still looking for some decorations for your primitive tree it may be as easy as stepping out in your backyard or local park down the road.
Things like pine cones and branches make great additions to your prim tree. These work great for country themed Christmas trees as well.
You can go the simple route and string a pine cone up and hang it on your tree or get a little creative and add in some buttons, twigs, ribbon or other craft items to make your own unique ornament.
Remember that the basis behind primitive decorating is to keep things simple. Look for items that have a worn or aged look as well as ones that bring you back to nature.
These primitive Christmas tree ideas should be enough to get you started as you add your own flair and style to your family’s tree this year.

Although most tabletop or miniature Christmas trees are not super expensive there are some that come pre-lit and even pre-decorated that can cost you quite a bit of money. But, just because they cost more doesn’t always mean they are better trees.
I’ve gathered up a few different options for tabletop Christmas trees and picked out the best ones so you can choose one in your budget as well as one that fits your decorating style.
Pre-Lit 2 Foot Miniature Christmas Tree
This is a beautiful pre-lit tabletop Christmas tree that also comes with small pine cones that decorate the branches as well. There is a total of 35 clear mini lights that make this tree shine.
The tree measures 24 inches tall and is approximately 20 inches in diameter.
With this tree you can choose the tree seen above with the electric corded lights or pay a few dollars more for a batter operated tree that looks just the same but you don’t have to worry about plugging in the lights.
The neat thing about this tree is that with the lights and pine cones you really don’t have to add anything else to the tree if you wanted or you could add a few mini ornaments or even a mini tree topper if you are going to be using this as your only Christmas tree.
Here is an example of the tree to give you an idea of size and what it looks like.
Best Inexpensive Tabletop Christmas Tree
If you are on a really tight budget or you just want a plain, simple mini Christmas tree, this tree from Vickerman may just be the very best option for you.
This tree is actually designed to be included in a village Christmas scene, but it can be used for decorating your mantle or table just the way you want it.
This tree only measures 12 inches including the wood base of the tree. Although that may seem really small for some people it can be a perfect fit for someone who only has a small space for a tree on a shelf or table.
It does not come with lights or other decorations so you can keep it as it is or decorate it with small mini ornaments to fit your style.
At this price you could even afford 2-3 of these trees for what you would pay for a slightly larger mini tree.
Tinsel Miniature Christmas Tree

These trees still give you that “Christmas tree” style but they are big and bulky but are instead slim and sleek.
You don’t have to be short on space to enjoy this type of tree as many people like it because it does have more of a modern feel to it or you simply may just like this style of tree better than others.
Keep in mind that an artificial tree usually does require somewhat of an investment and you definitely want to choose one that you can use year after year and get your money’s worth out of it.
This is why I have come up with a list of the best artificial pencil Christmas trees to choose from including different styles and sizes.
If you are looking for a good, basic pencil Christmas tree that will last through several years in your home, then look no further. (If you want a tree with lights, keep scrolling to find your best option below).
National Tree Company 7 1/2 Feet Kingswood Fir Pencil Tree
This tree features a hinged branch construction which means you can have it up and ready for decorating in only a matter of a few minutes.
At the base of the tree is it has a 30 inch diameter and comes with the metal tree stand.
The tree is perfect for those tighter corners or spaces where you may not be able to fit a traditional Christmas tree that may be twice the diameter of this one.
The height of 7.5 feet is also a nice, medium size that will fit in most rooms without being too tall for a nice tree topper.
Some people prefer the pencil tree without lights because they want to change up the look of the tree every year so they don’t want to be limited by the color of lights it comes with.
It also comes in at a really nice price and you will find that it cost significantly less than traditional style, larger artificial Christmas trees.
If you want a pre-lit pencil Christmas tree, then you still have plenty of options as they are making more and more artificial trees that come ready with lights.
Some people prefer the Christmas trees with lights because they feel it is easier to set up and they get to skip a step of having to string the lights on every year.
Here is my recommendation for the best pre-lit artificial pencil Christmas tree for you to choose from this year.
National Tree Company Kingswood Fir Pencil Tree with Clear Lights
This pencil Christmas tree with lights actually comes in 3 different sizes to choose from. You can choose a small, 4.5 feet tree, a 6.5 feet tree, and a taller 7.5 feet tree.
The 4.5 foot tree would be perfect for a really small space in an apartment or a small living room as it only has a 24 inch base diameter.
The 7.5 foot tree has a slightly larger base diameter of 30 inches which is a pretty common size for a 7.5 foot pencil tree.
The 7 foot tree comes with 350 clear lights that are strung right on the tree and don’t need to be taken off for storage or anything. It comes ready to go all lit up for you.
It also has a metal hinged construction making it super easy to set up with the three different sections that simply connect on top of each other.
Being that it is a pre-lit Christmas tree, this one does cost a bit more than the basic pencil tree above without lights, but still is a great price.
National Tree Company 7.5 Foot Kingswood Fire Pencil Christmas Tree with Multi-Colored Lights
This pencil Christmas tree with lights is available only in a 7.5 foot size but it really is a beautiful tree with the multi colored lights throughout all the tree.
There are 350 colored lights pre-strung on this tree and it really will sparkle and shine in your home.
This tree also has a 30 inch diameter at the base and comes with the metal stand.
This tree is basically the same one as above but just has the different colored lights that some people enjoy for their Christmas tree. It would go with a variety of different Christmas tree themes and just adds a nice touch with a really quick set up for you.
With any of the artificial pencil shaped Christmas trees above you really don’t have to worry about them not holding your ornaments as they are pretty sturdy trees with tough branches. That ebing said since they are slimmer and smaller trees they will not need as many ornaments or decorations as a traditional Christmas tree of the same height.
If you live in a smaller apartment or you simply just don’t have the extra room in your home for a big Christmas tree, I really encourage you to buy a pencil Christmas tree and still get to enjoy a beautiful evergreen tree that sort of has a whimsical, unique feel with still being tree to a Christmas tree.
