Decorating A Fun Christmas Tree With Snow Man Hat

I knew I wanted to do something fun and outside the box for my Christmas Tree this year and hence, the Snowman Christmas Tree was born. Making your own Snowman Christmas Tree is so much fun and can be done using a variety of materials.

Snowman Christmas Tree Materials:

Wire Baskets – I got my balls at Baisch & Skinner, a wholesale floral distributor in Phoenix, AZ) You can use white mesh, wire baskets (spray painted white), large ribbon or even just a white or flocked tree for your Snowman Christmas tree
Snowman Hat – I love this Snowman head/hat tree topper.
Snowman Scarf, Ribbon or Mesh for his scarf
Christmas Lights
Ribbon
Large Snowflake Ornaments
picks – love the ones that have cotton ball type things at the end for the "snow" effect.
assorted ornaments

BUYING TIPS: When you are buying stuff for your tree always buy in odd numbers. Buy the "picks" in numbers of 5 or 9. Get a few big elements… mine were the snow balls and large snowflakes. Get at least two different ribbons to fill in any holes.

First thing that you will want to do is..lay out all of your item on the ground in piles.

As you can see I have a few different picks that I love. The white balls are fun, the snowflakes add a great element, the bells are just dreamy and the iced cranberry picks add a pop of color.

Snowman Christmas Tree Instructions

1. First, add lights to your tree. – My Tree is pre-lit but I found these cute vintage looking ones at a store in Mesa, AZ called Orange Patch. We love to mix and match lights on our Christmas Trees.

2. Large scale decor pieces – My main element was obviously the snow balls which I used a bit of wire to wire it to the center of the tree. If things are heavy or you want them to stay in a specific spot, use craft wire to secure them to the trunk of you tree. This also helps little toddlers from pulling things off.

3. Add ornaments – work with your biggest to the smallest of the decor and ornaments that you have. Load up your tree. You really can't over do it!

4. Picks and Sprays – We use a variety of picks and sprays in all of our trees. These are the decor pieces that come on a stem or stick that you can shove in between branches. We add most of them to the top and then a few throughout the body of the tree. Use a variety of sizes, shapes, textures and colors.

5. The last thing that you will want to add is the ribbon. Don't waste your ribbon making full bows. Get wired ribbon and just do simple bunny ears and two tails like the picture below. I used a bit of thin wire to keep the bunny ears together. I also used 3 different types of ribbon to add lots of texture. Fill in any holes that you have with the ribbon.
