AFTER: (This 7 foot beauty got quite the makeover!)
I’m so excited to reveal my Michael’s Dream Tree! We loved being able to participate again this year. I found all of my items for my tree at Michaels Craft Stores. I love homemade ornaments & below I will share how I made 3 different ones for my Dream Tree.
I LOVE how the blues, silver & white in my new tree design tie into our family room. Sharing all of the details below!
First I started decorating my tree using shinny silver mesh ribbon, silver beaded garland, & blue shiny ribbon. I took each one and wrapped a layer on the tree. The key is to push the ribbon into the the tree. This will give it depth and allow space for ornaments.
I found these adorable frames…just $2 a piece! I LOVE frames on trees but since I didn’t need pink for my tree…I broke out the spray paint.
You can see how I changed the colors to match my tree. I also used Rhonna Designs’ Christmas images to make these mini pictures for the frames. I LOVE that reindeer!
I made mini “silky” pom poms for my tree using 3 inch foam balls I found at Michaels. I followed this easy pom pom tutorial. These add a bit of “Fancy-shmancy” to the tree. I used a 1.5 inch circle as a pattern.
And my favorite ornaments….homemade sunburst mirror ornaments! These were so fun and easy to make! I will be sharing how to make these mini sunburst mirrors next week with the full tutorial.
I fell in love with these mini ceramic, white, sparkly birds. I just added some clear string to the top and voila…hanging beautiful bird ornaments.
And I topped it off with several of these pretties…feathers and sparkly sprays.

Beautiful! Our tree used to be in turquoise in silver, but it didn’t look half this good 🙂 I love the handmade touches, too. I’ll definitely be adapting your ideas to fit our new color scheme.
It’s beautiful! Love those mini sunburst mirrors.
Beautiful! Did you have to take it all apart after the photo shoot, or did you just wrap a sheet around it so you can “unveil” it in December? 😉
Great job Jamie! I am loving the blue!! So many great little details and I love the frames!
Beautiful tree! I love the ideas to make the ornaments. I am looking to purchase a slim tree this year. Can you tell me where you got yours? Thanks 🙂
I love the colors! Beautiful work. Can you tell me what color and brand the spray paint you used is? Thank you so much
