A Christmas Tree That’s New And Old<\/h2>\n

I love our Christmas tree and am so excited to team up with The Home Depot to share a look that’s both new and old. This year, we created a whimsical and kid-friendly Christmas tree adorned with three generations of handmade ornaments as well as new, modern ornaments too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our 7.5-foot-tall pre lit Christmas tree is gorgeous and wait for it\u2026 changes colors and settings with a remote control! My kids are in love. They think it\u2019s fun to be able to change the tree from white to color to flickering lights with the click of a button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I decided to go with a pink, mint and cranberry themed tree with a vintage, whimsical flair. The Home Depot gave me the inspiration with these gorgeous, shatter resistant ornaments that came in a pack of 101!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My 4-year-old son insisted we have a star topper<\/a> and picked out this beauty from The Home Depot. It\u2019s perfect!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my Christmas tree secret weapons is yarn! Yarn is inexpensive and easier than ribbon for me to work with. This year I used a pink, thick yarn and simply wrapped the skein in and out of branches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I also made these adorable snowman ornaments with a hot glue gun and different sized PVC pipe segments from The Home Depot. Check out this post<\/a> for the detailed tutorial of the DIY snowman ornaments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I also painted different sized paintbrushes to add a little whimsy to our Christmas tree. How fun are these paintbrush Santa Claus ornaments?! Check out this post<\/a> on C.R.A.F.T. for the complete tutorial on these simple, unbreakable Santa paintbrush ornaments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I don\u2019t typically wrap presents until the last minute, I love the pop of color this red reindeer<\/a> from The Home Depot adds under our tree all season long.<\/p>\n
