How to Decorate a Christmas Tree With Deco Mesh + Bow Topper Tutorial

I finally got our tree up! Orange is my favorite color so I just love the copper tree and gold . Its non traditional yet just right for our family! As I was decorating I decided to take step by step pics on how I do my Tree. So here is the tutorial there are even more details in the video tutorial at the end which includes exactly how to make the bow topper. (PS If you enjoy my tutorials you will love my DIY Home decor subscription box Home Made Luxe. Its pinterest in a box! Check it out www.HomeMadeLuxe.com )
I always start with the topper. I made this one from some ribbon, check out the video below on how to make it yourself.
The bow is held together with floral wire and also i use floral wire to attach it to the top of the tree
After the topper is in place I add some elements around it for added height and drama.
Next I use floral wire to attach long streams of ribbon right underneath the bow topper.
I add four of these streams around the top of the tree.
The i use the tree branches to make loops with the ribbon.
After those are done, i start adding deco mesh to the bottom of the tree, again using the branches to secure the loops. This adds dimension, color and fills in lots of space meaning less ornaments are needed.
Once thats all done all thats left is to add ornaments. Check out my blog post for tips on how to buy ornaments for your tree.
The tree is gorgeous at night
and matches my mantle perfectly. I have lots of tutorials for how i did the mantle including the burlup elf stockings, the deco mesh garland and the burlay JOY letters.

    Keitha, You have a Special Christmas Talent... Your tree and the other decorations we can see are stunning. I wish you lived next door, I'd tempt you over with my best cookies so you could help me decorate my room. I can feel the Christmas spirit after seeing your tree.
