How to Decorate a Glam Christmas Tree

There's nothing wrong with a traditional tree - red and green glass balls, multicolored lights, and an angel or dove at the top never go out of style. But why go generic when you can go glam?

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Silk Ribbon
• Lace Bras
• Christmas Tree Lights
• Christmas Tree Ornaments
• Christmas Trees
• Tree Stands
• Rhinestone Tiaras
• Strings Of Fake Pearls
• Vintage Jewelry
• Feather Boas

1. Buy a tree and set it up.
2. Put lights on it. Small white lights are perfect for a glamour tree.
3. Collect the materials you'll need: Strings of pearls and feather boas are a good start. Don't forget broken jewelry, old mascara wands and lipstick tubes, and some silk ribbon to tie everything on. For these, church jumble or rummage sales and flea markets are perfect sources.
4. Start with the biggest items - the pearls and the boas. Then move on to medium and smaller items, arranging as you go. Some items - clip-on earrings, for example - will practically attach themselves. Use the silk ribbon to tie the rest of the items to the ends of branches.
5. Don't forget the rhinestone tiara for the top.

Tips & Warnings

• Scale your decorations to the size of your tree. If you're decorating a very large or very tall tree, you can use bigger items - even shoes and lacy bras.
