Burlap & Memories - A Rustic Christmas Tree

Decorating the Christmas tree at our house brings back so many memories as I unwrap each ornament and hang it on the tree. This year my 16-year-old son helped me decorate for a little while and I am so pleased I don’t dare move one ornament he placed on the tree it is a gift when your child still wants to participate in family traditions. He is tall so he helps me place ornaments that are higher up on the tree.
This year instead of garland or tinsel I adorned our tree with burplap I have to tell you all burlap is one of my favorite versatile materials to work with. I simply cut the burlap into strips off of the roll and it was very easy to shape and manipulate on the tree. I love the rustic look of the tree this year and I also haven’t shared we purchased a slimmer model tree this year because our other tree just took up too much room in our living room and I am really pleased with how this tree turned out!
